This seems harmless. I've seen it done on a
couple of
blogs, so I'll play, too.
The rules: "Go here and look through random quotes until you find 5 that you think reflect who you are or what you believe."
My first five (You have to stop when you find five; otherwise, it's endless!):
- "Examine what is said, not him who speaks." Arab Proverb
- "Never attribute to malice what can be adequately explained by stupidity." Unknown, Hanlon's Razor
- "You don't stop laughing because you grow old. You grow old because you stop laughing." Michael Pritchard
- "I disapprove of what you say, but will defend to the death your right to say it." Voltaire (1694 - 1778)
- "I base my fashion taste on what doesn't itch." Gilda Radner (1946 - 1989)
Not an awesome collection, but not bad, either.
Your turn....

Here are my five:
Risk! Risk anything! Care no more for the opinions of others, for those voices. Do the hardest thing on earth for you. Act for yourself. Face the truth.
Katherine Mansfield (1888 - 1923)
Duty is ours, results are God's.
John Quincy Adams (1767 - 1848)
Life ought to be a struggle of desire toward adventures whose nobility will fertilize the soul.
Rebecca West (1892 - 1983)
Never be entirely idle; but either be reading, or writing, or praying or meditating or endeavoring something for the public good.
Thomas a Kempis (1380 - 1471)
Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgment that something else is more important than fear.
Ambrose Redmoon
Wow. Those are very good, and very you!
