Our first Meme

It's Tuesday morning; my boss is coming in late; I'm bored; I don't feel so hot; so let's just play this time-wasting Meme:

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

Here's mine:

A tough lesson in life that one has to learn is that not everybody wishes you well.
Dan Rather (1931 - )

That you may retain your self-respect, it is better to displease the people by doing what you know is right, than to temporarily please them by doing what you know is wrong.
William J. H. Boetcker

My home is not a place, it is people.
Lois McMaster Bujold, "Barrayar", 1991

We are all atheists about most of the gods that societies have ever believed in. Some of us just go one god further.
Richard Dawkins (1941 - ), "The Root of All Evil", UK Channel 4, 2006

Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence. True friendship is a plant of slow growth, and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity before it is entitled to the appellation.
George Washington (1732 - 1799)
