Random Quotes Meme
I liked this meme from Bobby Danger's blog so much, I did it myself. Also, I'm killing time. Also also, I'll take most excuses to use the word meme. It's true; just ask my wife.
Meme.
The idea is to describe yourself by going to this Random Quotes Generator and choose "the first five quotes that reflect your outlook on life."
Here are the ones that resonated with me. If any are apocryphal, well, that's just the web for you.
"He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself."
- Thomas Paine (1737-1809)
"Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first."
- Mark Twain (1835-1910)
"The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not 'Eureka!' (I found it!) but 'That's funny...'"
- Isaac Asimov (1920-1992)
"One man may hit the mark, another blunder; but heed not these distinctions. Only from the alliance of the one, working with and through the other, are great things born."
- Antoine de Saint-Exupery (1900-1944)
"Difficulties are meant to rouse, not discourage. The human spirit is to grow strong by conflict."
- William Ellery Channing (1780-1842)
It's nice to see that Isaac Asimov remains a hero.
This is one for the wife, in recognition of her superpower.
"Typos are very important to all written form. It gives the reader something to look for so they aren't distracted by the total lack of content in your writing."
