Random quotations

They're all doing it ... I thought I would too. What you do is "Go here and look through random quotes until you find 5 that you think reflect who you are or what you believe. Go with the first five that work for you (i.e., don't worry about getting global optima)."

So here are mine... Not necessarily quotes I live by or love (see the sidebar), but the first five from that site that fit the criteria...
