...and finding them still completely relavent, I thought I'd post them to end off this year!

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY:

It takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to our enemies, but just as much to stand up to our friends
          -J.K. Rowling, author_b. 1965

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY:

Do not fear to be eccentric in opinion, for every opinion now accepted was once eccentric.
          -Bertrand Russell, philosopher, mathematician, author, Nobel laureate_1872-1970

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY:

All I ask is this: Do something. Try something. Speaking out, showing up, writing a letter, a check, a strongly worded e-mail. Pick a cause -- there are few unworthy ones. And nudge yourself past the brink of tacit support to action. Once a month, once a year, or just once.
          -Joss Whedon, writer and film director_b. 1964
