Always remember that the crowd which applauds your coronation is the same crowd that will applaud your beheading. People like a show. Terry Pratchett Going Postal

Have you ever noticed that the Sweeper lives a monks life while being belligerently not spiritual, at all, ever.

Quote: Greebo’s grin gradually faded, until there was nothing left but the cat. This was nearly as spooky as the opposite way around. Terry Pratchett Wyrd Sister Next to a doodle of Greebo, an evil looking cat with a blind eye scars & shredded ears

Greebo was possibly the only cat who could snigger in purr.

A stylized sketch of Terry Pratchett watermarked over the quote: I wrote that in the days when I thought fantasy was all battles and kings. Now I'm inclined to think that the real concerns of fantasy ought to be about not having battles and doing without kings. Terry Pratchett The Carpet People

Note to Me: Your resentment is your self-respect trying to get you to stand up for you. Get out of it’s way and let it do its damn job. Sincerely, Me With a doodle next of a witch’s hat with many hat pins

A doodle of a pikeman with a shield beside the quote: ... history was full of the bones of good men who'd followed bad orders in the hope that they could soften the blow. Oh, yes, there were worse things they could do, but most of them began right where they started to follow bad orders. Terry Pratchett Jingo

Also applies to business or any recipe devised by my mother.

... he was incurably insane and hallucinated more or less continuously, but by a remarkable stroke of lateral thinking his fellow wizards had reasoned that, in that case, the whole business could be sorted out if only they could find a formula that caused him to  hallucinate that he was completely sane. Terry Pratchett The Truth With a doodle of a Wizard’s Staff and 3 bottles of Dried Frog Pills

Dried Frog Pills by the handful people, by the handful.

A wizard’s hat crowning the quote: The Bursar was not, as many thought, insane.  On the contrary, he was a man with both feet firmly on the ground, the only difficulty being that the ground in question was on some other planet, the one with the fluffy pink clouds and the happy little bunnies.  He did not mind because he much preferred it to the real one, where people shouted too much, and he spent as little time there as possible.  Terry Pratchett The Science of Discworld With 3 bottles of Dried Frog Pills in the right corner

Saints need Sinners to look like Saints. Sinners need Saints to make excuses, pay the price, and clean up the mess, so Sinners can keep sinning bigger, better and more creatively*. *Saints might want to rethink this Strategy.

The Laziest Woman sitting on a fluffy armchair, holding a cup of coffee saying “Don't try to hold people to your moral & ethical standards.* *It's a lot of work, it doesn't change anything and it simply pisses them off.

Fedora hat sitting on a girl sitting at a computer desk reading the quote: Destiny was funny stuff, he knew. You couldn’t trust it. Often you couldn’t even see it. Just when you knew you had it cornered it turned out to be something else – coincidence, maybe, or providence. You barred the door against it, and it was standing behind you. Then just when you thought you had it nailed down it walked away with the hammer. Terry Pratchett Wyrd Sisters

People speak of hope as if it is this delicate, ephemeral thing made of whispers and spider's webs. It's not. Hope has dirt on her face, blood on her knuckles, the grit of the cobblestones in her hair, and just spat out a tooth as she rises for another go. Matthew @CrowsFault

An unremarkable yellow butterfly with markings resembling dwarf mine sign The Summoning Dark. A quote reads: The Quantum Weather Butterfly (Papilio tempestae) is an undistinguished yellow colour, although the Mandelbrot patterns on the wings are of considerable interest. Its outstanding feature is its ability to create weather... This presumably began as a survival trait, since even an extremely hungry bird would find itself inconvenienced by a nasty localized tornado. Terry Pratchett Interesting Times

“The wizards were good at wind, weather being a matter not of force but of lepidoptery. As Archchancellor Ridcully said, you just had to know where the damn butterflies were.”

A scythe next to the quote: EDUCATION HAD BEEN EASY. LEARNING THINGS HAD BEEN HARDER. GETTING AN EDUCATION WAS A BIT LIKE A COMMUNICABLE SEXUAL DISEASE. IT MADE YOU UNSUITABLE FOR A LOT OF JOBS AND THEN YOU HAD THE URGE TO PASS IT ON. TERRY PRATCHETT HOGFATHER

Quote: Individuals aren't naturally paid-up members of the human race, except biologically. They need to be bounced around by the Brownian motion of society, which is a mechanism by which human beings constantly remind one another that they are...well... human beings.

Dealing with the Mediocre, Angry, Gullible Arses The Sto Helit Method Rather than correcting someone's bad behavior, grade it. Pull out your metaphorical Red Pen and circle all of the bits found wanting. If an insult is attempted, critique on execution, originality, language usage, and erroneous assumptions.* *Followed by a lecture, of no less than 15 minutes, on all the ways they should have done it better. Any attempts at menacing should be met with commentary on body language, wardrobe, vocal intonation and style.** **Followed 3 minute diatribe on presence, projection, costuming and a referral to a local acting academy. Be sensible, exacting and enunciate clearly. They should know how to do these things properly. With a girl with white hair that has a black streak dressed as DEATH in a cowl carrying a scythe.

Doodle of a witch’s hat followed by the quote There's no greys, only white that's got grubby. I'm surprised you don't know that. And sin, young man, is when you treat people as things. Including yourself. That's what sin is. 'It's a lot more complicated than that -' No. It ain't. When people say things are a lot more complicated than that, they means they're getting worried that they won't like the truth. People as things, that's where it starts.' Underlined by a broom

Frankly, why the hell would I lie? The bald honest truth hurts you all so much MORE. I'll swear before any god you choose that most lies i have told, were to spare others the sharp sting of Reality. When im most savage is when i tell the TRUTH.
