divermike Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 When I went to the Appalachian center for the arts for a class with Jay Burnham Kidwell, we found a graphic that said, DO NOT SET SELF ON FIRE" and it had a little guy running around on fire. I think I like that for my motto! Jay said he was thinking of putting it on a t-shirt, when I went to SOFA Quadstate, some one had one on already.

broncstomper Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 when i was a kid and my grandpa and me would be working cattle he would always say "slow down, we're in a hurry". So slow and right beats fast and wrong every time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
