Two Quotes

I've always saved good quotes I've read here and there; my computer screen had them taped all around the edge at one point. Then that became a little distracting, to say the least. Nothing like trying to write a bylined article on building codes and accidentally quoting Ghandi in the middle!

Here are two you might enjoy. One is an old favorite, the other a new find:

"This above all - to thine own self be true; And it will follow, as the night the day, Thou canst not be false to any man."
- William Shakespeare, "Polonius"

"People who aren't real to each other are dangerous to each other. Stories give us the simple empathy that is the basis of the Golden Rule, which is the basis of civilized society."
- Garrison Keillor, "The Motorhome Fades into the Sunset"
