Socrates - "Let him that would move the world first move himself."

Book of inspirational quotes from the colleagues. Christmas present. I suppose they think they're being clever.

One of the women received a hideous floral arrangement. Between the two, I'd take the quotes.

That would be the word.

I'll put yours up, but perhaps not on the mantle.

Hello Mr. Reynard! Did you have a merry Christmas?

[itwasnotso]

I did indeed. And you?

[claudiajane]

Oh, definitely. I just love this time of year!

[itwasnotso]

Good to hear.

And ready to meet your new charge in January? He's a Sussex Spaniel. I don't imagine he'll be very troublesome.

[superiffic]

Well! That would be rather heavy, I do think!

It's a rather short inspirational book.

And thank you for the gift, miss Dickering. It was ... unexpected.

We could have a McDreamy night!

Roberto Benigni - "It's a sign of mediocrity when you demonstrate gratitude with moderation."

Be happy you received anything at all, Mr. Reynard. I know many colleagues wouldn't even bother.

[itwasnotso]

Is that a trace of bitterness I sense? Fatima, my dear, did yours not bother for you?

[ladybold]

I am only stating that many people wouldn't get their co-workers anything. I received quite a few wonderful gifts this year, actually.

How was the cow?
