Values and Movie Quotes

30 Day Blogging Challenge

PROMPT May 8th
Take a look at this list of values: https://liveboldandbloom.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/400-personal-values-list...
Pick your top ten values and rank them based on how important they are to you. Then, write about the values you chose and if any have changed throughout your life.

This list is very interesting. I did not know stillness was a value. Probably a good one to have if you are a tree or a mailman faced with a growling dog.

My top ten does not include that one, but it does include:

Fairness
Faith
Calmness
Compassion
Courtesy
Creativity
Fidelity
Growth
Gratitude
Open-mindedness
Respect

As I read these over, I find they feel right. Putting them in order... now that is a challenge.
I also see Love and Mindfulness as important. In fact, I think these values let the other values shine... they are the foundation of all the others. The others are in alphabetical order. That is one way to order them. I am also thinking calmness, to me, is synonymous with mindfulness. But if I had to chose between the two I would have to go with mindfulness in that it involves a presence within it - one of those underlying aspects again.
Faith is both spiritual and hopeful in nature. Faith is within and outwards - a faith in myself and in humanity.
Courtesy can also be implied in both Respect and Love. So if I rework this list it looks more like this:

Love
Faith
Respect
Mindfulness
Compassion
Open-mindedness
Gratitude
Creativity
Growth
Fidelity

There I believe these to be ranked 1 - 10.

Blog City - Day 2123

Use a famous movie line in your blog today, but don't tell what movie it is.
I have to laugh when I read this because this line came up early in our confinement... I can't remember the context at the time, but now all I have to do is yell it and we both start laughing.
"There's no crying in baseball!"

Even reading it has me giggling.

When I first saw the prompt I thought of this:
"Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn."

Then I considered my options. How to make this blog far more interesting than just dumping lines out there. So here's a little tale...

"Why so serious?" Marty asked leaning over the table towards Jeb.
"I'm gonna make him an offer he can't refuse." Jeb said nodding as if that was the best plan.
"May the force be with you." Cody piped up.
"You think he'll refuse?" Marty asked as he lowered his mug.
Cody shrugged, not seeming to care.
"Why not ask me?" Arlon pushed, "I coulda been a contender."
"Nah, not you."
"Why, I oughtta." Arlon groused.
"Oh lie down before you hurt yourself." Jeb fired back.

Got any guesses on what lines go with what movies?
