At the risk of getting into trouble, I suggest motivational (especially sales and management) literature. In there will find such gems as "it's your attitude not your aptitude that determines your altitude" and ... oh, damn! I've been working on my own for too long and forgotten them. Back when I was working for a large corporation and being groomed for management I went on quite a number of cringe inducing courses that provided a never ending stream of such quotes.
Hmm... get yourself invited to an Amway (or any similar marketing scheme) meeting and take a notepad and pen, I seem to remember some goodies in the last one of those I got fooled into attending.
Also check out motivation blogs for weight loss, quitting smoking and writing. They all tend to have a good share of maxims that are insupportable, condescendingly self-evident, self-contradictory, or just plain silly. (Is admitting to knowing this too personally revealing?
)
