Go here and copy 5 quotes that mean something to you into your journal. The link will open in a new window. 

Any ordinary favor we do for someone or any compassionate reaching out may seem to be going nowhere at first, but may be planting a seed we can't see right now. Sometimes we need to just do the best we can and then trust in an unfolding we can't design or ordain.
- Sharon Salzberg

Slow down and enjoy life. It's not only the scenery you miss by going too fast - you also miss the sense of where you are going and why.
- Eddie Cantor

We're here for a reason. I believe a bit of the reason is to throw little torches out to lead people through the dark.
- Whoopi Goldberg

Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson

We must get beyond textbooks, go out into the bypaths... and tell the world the glories of our journey.
- John Hope Franklin

Somewhere in an old file, I used to have a long list of taglines, things to put in a sig file on e-mail. Some were quotes, some were interesting sayings of unknown origin, and some were things I came up with. I need to try to find and resurrect that - this quotes meme has got me thinking of things to post on my walls and in my journal.

I like the Quotations site; I may use the random quote function to generate some stuff for my skills class students to use for writing exercises.
