Opposites

I spent a while working through changing certain quotes that I have found to be the opposite. Rather than changing every single one, I only did ones appropriate, and also I worked on the thumbnails and the designs round the same time I came up with most to ensure that the idea is going to actually work and what not.

Here are the quotes I changed:

• "Wisdom is not a product of schooling but of the life long attempt to acquire it." - Foolishness is not a product of schooling but of the life long attempt to lose it.
• "Joy in looking and comprehending is natures more beautiful gift." - Sorrow in looking and comprehending is natures more ugly gift.
• "The true sign of intelligence is not knowing but imagination." - The false of stupidity is not imagination but knowledge.
• "Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value." - Strive not to be a failure, but barely to be of value.
• "The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious." - The most ugly thing we can experience is the open.
• "Once we accept our limits, we go beyond them." - Once we refuse out limits, we go beyond them.
• "Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow." - Enervate from yesterday, die for today, despair for tomorrow.
