Quote Meme, from an anti-meme blogger

I've so enjoyed the quotes at On being a scientist and a woman… and it's probably me, I've decided to jump in the meme pool for once.

Here are five random quotes that resonate with me:

The ancestor of every action is a thought. —Ralph Waldo Emerson

Shows the importance of thought - good, good…

A hero is no braver than an ordinary man, but he is braver five minutes longer. —Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralphie's batting a thousand. Next one…

Whenever you find that you are on the side of the majority, it is time to reform. —Mark Twain

Ah, Mark, I know ye well. Just this week I checked out A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court from the public library.

Risk! Risk anything! Care no more for the opinions of others, for those voices. Do the hardest thing on earth for you. Act for yourself. Face the truth. —Katherine Mansfield

I'm also a bit of a Katherine Mansfield fan. She was big on taking risks, as the double-imperative suggests. No quiet safe suburban life for Kathy!

The best way out is always through. —Robert Frost

Of course I love this quote; I've just written something that reverberates with it.
