Insurance Agent Forum

Most of these quotes sound like the rah-rah corporate crap my managers at Liberty National used to spew. Take what inspiration from these quotes that you can:

"Hell is other people" -- Jean-Paul Sartre

"There are worse things in life than death. Have you ever spent an evening with an insurance salesman?" -- Woody Allen

"A salesman must also have flexible goals. You may say, 'I want to sell 10 accounts this week,' and you sell five. You're ready to die. But, you tell yourself, 'Five isn't too bad. You know, next week maybe I'll sell 10.' -- Curtis Carlson

"The universe we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil and no good, nothing but blind, pitiless indifference." –- Richard Dawkins

"We are constantly wondering if we should reproduce with this person or not, whether we should eat or not eat, but insects are pure action. They are horribly perfect. That's why they are scary and why we hate them so much." - Film Director Guillermo del Toro.

"True enlightenment is not photogenic." - Corpson

"Nobody realizes that some people expend tremendous energy merely to be normal." - Albert Camus

johnrocks, please attribute that quote to President Franklin D. Roosevelt. I believe he said that during one of his radio "fireside chats" to the nation.

The reason you think this world is so upside down...is because you occupy its lowest level.


The early bird gets the worm...but what about the early worm?


And before closing...some lines from a very famous TV series...


"By golly, Jim... I'm beginning to think I can cure a rainy day!"

"Live long and prosper."

"Mr. Spock, the women on your planet are logical. That's the only planet in the galaxy that can make that claim."

"Dr. McCoy...My Aetna rate just increased 30%. Get Spock in here and do something about it."


Ok....so I embellished the last one a bit.

I have lots of ideas. Trouble is, most of them suck. - George Carlin

5 Frogs are sitting on a log and 4 decide to jump off. How many frogs are left (Jeopardy them song plays)?

Final Answer: 5

The reason being is because there is a difference between deciding to do something and taking action.

I know FDR was the one who said that but I kind of assumed everyone smart enough to sell insurance would know that and besides a quote by definition is saying something someone else has already said but pleeeeese forgive

[arnguy]

All is forgiven my son. But you are making some pretty broad assumptions about the depth of knowledge of some insurance agents.

Remember democracey never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts and murders itself. There never was a democracey yet that did not commit suicide. John Adams in a letter to John Taylor April 15,1814

True, but perhaps no so inspirational.

[CHUMPS FROM OXFORD]

When in doubt...punt.

[johnrocks]

May inspire you to protest anything that weakens democracey, like a liberal lol
