Waging WAR on Ignorance, Intolerance & Injustice!
“Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop questioning.” — Albert Einstein
(Words to live by! Over the years, I have tried to stress questioning things that the vast majority of folks just take for granted. Just because someone in “authority” says it does not necessarily make it so. Employ critical thought, folks. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

“If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be more intelligent, read them more fairy tales.” — Albert Einstein
(I guess Big Al’s mom read him a lot of fairy tales! I don’t specifically remember my Mom reading them to me, but I’ve always known a lot of them, so she must have. I remember reading them to my kids. Their favorite was always “Hansel and Gretel”. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

“Stay away from negative people, they have a problem for every solution.” — Albert Einstein
(But they’re also kind of necessary. Without them questioning all the possible pitfalls, we’d likely fall in a few. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

“In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity.” — Albert Einstein
(It’s important for us to stay focused in stressful times, so those opportunities can be realized. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

“The cosmic religious experience is the strongest and the noblest driving force of scientific research.” — Einstein
(I think he said this partly to quiet the non-scientific ninnies. Big Al was a Pantheist. But, man has always been in search of the meaning/origin of life. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

“Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school.” — Albert Einstein
(Hopefully, this means most of us remember most of what we learned in school. Or, at least that we learned how to learn. I think sometimes Big Al was just trying to be cute. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

“Great moments in science: Einstein discovers that time is actually money.” — Gary Larson
(I just spent about half an hour looking at old panels from The Far Side . . . and laughing myself silly. Gary Larson is every bit the genius as Einstein was, in my book! It’s a shame he was active for only about 15 years. I know – financially – he doesn’t need to do the comic panel anymore, but I truly believe that the world would be a much happier – and peaceful – place if he was still doing it. Hey, Mr. Trump! If you really want to make America great again encourage Gary Larson to come out of retirement! Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

(Atta boy, Al! The universal life force is IN everything. All you have to do is look for it. Once realize that, it all falls into place. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

“Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value.” — Albert Einstein
(I can just hear some of you wing-nuts out there: “Why, that’s just some kind of Commie-talk!” Easy there, you Ayn Rand devotees. All he’s really saying is: concentrate on doing your job, and doing it well, and success will come . . . in due time. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

“Wisdom is not a product of schooling but of the lifelong attempt to acquire it.” — Albert Einstein
(Schooling is getting to be a scam anyway. Too many jobs today require a – too often specialized – degree, where in the past you could get in with a little common sense, and pick up the rest – quickly enough – via hands on experience. Most of these jobs are not rocket science. As a result, too many people are starting their careers with crippling debt. I think this is by design. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR
