"One of my managers had an expression: 'They who are not fired with enthusiasm will be pretty soon.'"

That's a good one.

After seeing videos on Fox tonight of Twitter employees basically just bumming around, doing nothing productive on the job, one of my former bosses had a saying that also seems to fit those Twitter workers (before the "fired with enthusiasm" part comes about).   He used to come along, and say, "Working hard, or hardly working?"

Here's an old chestnut from the printing and publishing biz: "There's never time to do it right; there's always time to do it over."
