Listening to my sister recite her Gatsby essays and it's making me bored, and am supposed to work on a lot of things including my SNP analysis readings and pottery articles for that museum display we're doing, but I am reading quotes on my iTouch instead. It's kinda therapeutic.

"You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give."
~ Khalil Gibran

When you can think of yesterday without regret and tomorrow without fear, you are near contentment. ~ Anonymous

Acceptance is such an important commodity, some have called it "the first law of personal growth".
~ Peter McWilliams, Life101

Understand that friends come and go, but with a precious few you should hold on. The older you get, the more you need the people who knew you when you were young.
~ Mary Schmich

The difficulty is not so great to die for a friend, as to find a friend worth dying for.
~ Homer

To be great is to be misunderstood.
~Ralph Waldo Emerson

Emerson always has nice quotes; I remember 409 used "You can't have harmony when everyone sings the same note" for our class motto. Or something close to that, I can't be sure.

One of the greatest discoveries a man makes, one of his great surprises, is to find he can do what he was afraid he couldn't do. ~ Henry Ford

Sanity calms, but madness is more interesting. ~ John Russell

Yes, well, interesting eh.
