Because I'm not up to writing any of the longer posts I have in me right now, a meme (via [livejournal.com profile] the_zaniak)

Go to this page and read until you find five quotes that speak your truth.

"The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery every day. Never lose a holy curiosity." - Albert Einstein

Give to every other human being every right that you claim for yourself. - Robert Ingersoll

"You can stand tall, without standing on someone. You can be a victor without having victims." - Harriet Woods

"So-called "global warming" is just a secret ploy by wacko tree-huggers to make America energy independent, clean our air and water, improve the fuel efficiency of our vehicles, kick-start 21st-century industries, and make our cities safer and more livable. Don't let them get away with it." - Chip Giller

"Don't ever take a fence down until you know the reason it was put up." - G.K. Chesteson

Okay... I'll play... But it was tough getting down to just 5...

To see the earth as it truly is, small and blue and beautiful in that eternal silence where it floats, is to see ourselves as riders on the earth together, brothers on that bright loveliness in the eternal cold.
-- Archibald MacLeish (1892 - 1982)

War is delightful to those who have had no experience of it.
-- Desiderius Erasmus (1466 - 1536)

The strictest law often causes the most serious wrong.
-- Cicero (106 BC - 43 BC)

There's a difference between a philosophy and a bumper sticker.
-- Charles M. Schulz (1922 - 2000)

We will not walk in fear, one of another. We will not be driven into an age of unreason if we dig deep into our history and remember we are not descended from fearful people.
-- Edward R. Murrow (1908 - 1965)

The greatest good is like water; it benefits all things and does not compete with them. It dwells in the low places that all disdain. This is why it is so near to Tao.
-- Lao-tzu, Tao Te Ching

The Way of Heaven is to benefit others and not to injure.
The Way of the sage is to act but not to compete.

-- Lao-tzu, Tao Te Ching

So there's "my truth" in a few quotes...
