casting the stones

Go here. Keep refreshing until you've collected five quotes that really resonate with you, then post them to your journal.

1. You see things; and you say, 'Why?' But I dream things that never were; and I say, "Why not?"
George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950), "Back to Methuselah" (1921), part 1, act 1

2. If you don't know where you are going, any road will take you there.
Lewis Carroll (1832 - 1898)

3. Work is not always required. There is such a thing as sacred idleness.
George MacDonald (1824 - 1905)

4. Morality, like art, means drawing a line someplace.
Oscar Wilde (1854 - 1900)

5. Let grace and goodness be the principal loadstone of thy affections. For love which hath ends, will have an end; whereas that which is founded on true virtue, will always continue.
John Dryden (1631 - 1700)


and a bonus: Anyone who has gumption knows what it is, and anyone who hasn't can never know what it is. So there is no need of defining it. L. M. Montgomery (1874 - 1942), Anne of the Island, 1915
