Lately...

"When you choose your friends, don't be short-changed by choosing personality over character." ~ W. Somerset Maugham

"The truth will set you free, but first it will piss you off." Gloria Steinem

"On particularly rough days when I'm sure I can't possibly endure, I like to remind myself that my track record for getting through bad days so far is 100%...and that's pretty good."

"Anyone who does not take truth seriously in small matters cannot be trusted in large one either." ~ Albert Einstein

"Associate with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation; for it is better to be alone than in bad company." ~ George Washington

"Above all, don't lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect he ceases to love." ~ Fyordor Dostoyevsk, The Brothers Karamazov

"The depth and strength of a human character are defined by its moral reserves. People reveal themselves completely only when they are thrown out of the customary conditions of their life, for only then do they have to fall back on their reserves." ~ Leonardo da Vinci

"If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything." ~ Mark Twain

P.S. Also, I screwed up last night. First day of the year. I did not see that coming. I'm not sure how long the clean streak was. Not a year or anything, but probably several months. *sigh* Here we go again.
