Life as expressed in quotes...

I like this meme: got it from wijsgeer.

Go here, and read until you find five quotes that speak your truth.

1. I appreciate people who are civil, whether they mean it or not. I think: Be civil. Do not cherish your opinion over my feelings. There's a vanity to candor that isn't really worth it. Be kind.- Richard Greenberg, NY Times Magazine, 03-26-2006
   
   
2. This is our purpose: to make as meaningful as possible this life that has been bestowed upon us; to live in such a way that we may be proud of ourselves; to act in such a way that some part of us lives on. - Oswald Spengler (1880 - 1936)
   
   
3. When all is said and done, the weather and love are the two elements about which one can never be sure. - Alice Hoffman, 'Here on Earth'
   
   
4. Seek simplicity, and distrust it. - Alfred North Whitehead (1861 - 1947)
   
   
5. Wisdom is knowing what to do next; virtue is doing it. - David Starr Jordan (1851 - 1931), The Philosophy of Despair

Now, it seems to me that this meme is skewed because we are picking from the given list. I've been collecting quotes, in a vague sort of way, for years. I should pick my five favourites and post them. But first, I'll have to think about it.

Glad you liked it! I'm looking forward to seeing what I pick, too.
