Waging WAR on Ignorance, Intolerance & Injustice!
“Seeing much, suffering much, and studying much are the three pillars of learning.” — Benjamin Disraeli
(All that I could add to this is that when it comes to learning I usually enjoy much! Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

“A man who is not a liberal at sixteen has no heart; a man who is not a conservative at sixty has no head.” — Disraeli
(Riiight. Clearly, he said this as an old man, and head of the Conservative Party. And, maybe things were a little different in the 1800s. Today, there are more and more shades of gray. We need to get away from silly labels anyway. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

“Every man has a right to be conceited until he is successful.” — Benjamin Disraeli
(I don’t agree with this, but everyone has a right to their opinion. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

“The greatest good you can do for another is not just to share your riches but to reveal to him his own.” — Benjamin Disraeli
(Many of us need a hand up from time to time, but what is equally important is having that sense of self-worth. No one wants to feel like a charity case. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

“What we anticipate seldom occurs, but what we least expect generally happens.” — Benjamin Disraeli
(And, life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans. — Another Great Brit Who is it, kids??? Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

“It destroys one’s nerves to be amiable every day to the same human being.” — Benjamin Disraeli
(No doubt his response to Mary Anne – the missus – when she asked him: Why you being such a cranky ass??? Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

“Never apologize for showing feeling. When you do so, you apologize for truth.” — B. Disraeli
(Kind of goes against the whole “stiff upper lip” mentality. But, honest – and hopefully *appropriate* – displays of feeling should not be frowned upon. It’s 7/11, kids. Enjoy a Slurpee, today! Oops! Too soon!) — YUR

“The greatest misfortune that ever befell man was the invention of printing.” — Benjamin Disraeli
(Curious! I have to wonder, in what context did old Ben make such a statement?) — YUR
“Like all great travelers, I have seen more than I remember, and remember more than I have seen.” — Benjamin Disraeli
(As anti-Semitic as England was, at that time, it is truly amazing that this man achieved such heights of greatness. Remarkable!) — YUR
“Seeing much, suffering much, and studying much are the three pillars of learning.” — Benjamin Disraeli
I think that pain and suffering go more towards building character, than to learning. Suffering greatly tends to obscure objectivity, which can only hinder true learning. — YUR
