Since I have heard this one, I have used it a hundred times or more. It is Andy Baker's quote in my signature and it occurred during one of our excellent discussions that we tend to have. If you've talked with Andy, you know he is silly, funny, serious, thoughtful, and incredibly insightful - sometimes all at the same time.

" Excellence is contagious." ~ Andy Baker

Veering off the topic a bit - this would make a great topic for the Championship Conference presentations. I picture a group of brilliant and respected minds sharing their thoughts and experiences regarding excellence and how it can spread to/through teams, events, areas, the program, and individuals.

"Any school official who isn't tickled pink by hundreds high school students, and teachers, and parents, and mentors spending their weekend celebrating STEM isn't a school official worth having."

I saw this somewhere on here, and have since incorporated the rhetoric when dealing with new school faculty members and potential mentors etc. Though, it's not really fit for a clothing item.

"Inspire first, win second." ?

Oh dear... I thought I got it.

"Don't worry, be liquid."

That meant the whole fluid thinking thing to me:
- be flexible
- lighten up
- go with the flow

This could be why no one ever asks me to help with teeshirt designs. :p

A few of my other favorites:

"Ideas are cheap. Solutions are priceless" ~Jim Zondag

He acknowledged that it was not his quote, but I don't know who's quote that is.
