Top 5 - Quotables

Okay kiddies... My top 5 favorite quotes of all time.

5. "Never mistake motion for action."
4. "Cry yourself a river, build a bridge and GET OVER IT!"
3. "Don't be so humble - you are not that great."
2. "Where am I going and why am I in this handbasket?"

and the nuevo numero uno...

1. "A friend will help you move. A true friend will help you move a body."

While extreme, it is something to think about when you choose to call someone a friend. Is that person truly a friend? There is another version of that quote that goes "A good friend will provide an alibi.... But a true friend will help you hide the body." I like the degrees that one lends itself to.

I have found over the years that I have many different levels of friends... Many of which are actually acquaintances and a very select few are true friends. Those that fall in between have the potential to go in either direction. Time will tell.

There have been times when I found that I opened myself up and deemed someone a true friend only to find that they faltered horribly when the chips were down. Now that's not to say that I needed help moving a body, but when I needed support, they were curiously absent.

It's always painful to realize that you were more of a friend to someone than they were to you, that you were hoodwinked and bamboozled. Once that pain fades, you're left with knowledge and can make better choices in the future.

So in the extreme, I can count on one hand the people that I know would help me move a body.
