Inspiring words for aspiring adults

I'm not generally one for inspirational quotes around the house. But sometimes there are phrases that I just want to think about all day--and I wouldn't mind my kids spending time mulling them over either.

 

 

The Work Hard and Be Nice poster from prolific graphic designer Anthony Burrill is a lovely message to have around, especially over a child's desk. In fact, he has quite a few in his shop that would fit the bill. Take a look around--one is bound to make you think. Or smile. Or both.

Plus they're so beautifully hand-printed onto recycled paper using woodblock, I might not even mind the shipping charges from the UK. -Liz
