Waging WAR on Ignorance, Intolerance & Injustice!
“I am saddest when I sing. So are those who hear me. They are sadder even than I am.” — Artemus Ward
(America’s first stand-up comedian! He was likely the inspiration for Josh Billings and Mark Twain! Dude died of tuberculosis though. At only 36! I’m sure he probably had a passable singing voice. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

“There is no fate that cannot be surmounted by scorn.” — Albert Camus
(Camus could be a real weird dude! I think he kind of believed that absolutely nothing matters. Those durn absurdists! Be well and do good, friends. Because, I think it does matter.) — YUR

“A good neighbor is a fellow who smiles at you over the fence but doesn’t climb over it.” — Arthur “Bugs” Baer
(Respect the sanctity of the fence! We haven’t had a “Bugs” quote in quite a while. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

“Though every actor’s ambition is to stop the show, his instructions are that it must go on.” — Kenneth Tynan
(The dude died young, of pulmonary emphysema. Cigarettes will do that to you. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

“A vacation is having nothing to do and all day to do it in.” — Robert Orben
(A very clever/funny man! And, still kickin’ it at 93! Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

“Some folks seem to think they’re worth a lot of money just because they have it.” — Source Unknown
(I get where they were going. But, I think it would be better stated as: Some folks seem to think they’re worth a lot just because they have a lot of money. What do you folks think? Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

“Observe yourself as your greatest enemy would do, so shall you be your greatest friend.” — Jeremy Taylor
(This is our first quote from Jeremy Taylor, since I’ve been posting the spoilers. So, we welcome Jeremy Taylor to the Cryptoquote Club today. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

“Great men are like meteors; they glitter and are consumed to enlighten the world.” — Napoleon
(Very sneaky with the author! It actually took me about ten to fifteen seconds to come up with the P! Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

“Kings will lose their privilege, as stars which have completed their time lose their splendor.” — Dumas, “Pere”
(This could apply to our Donald Trump. He’s not actually a King, of course, but he seems to think that he is. It looks like Rebecca got a little inventive with the author’s name! Alexandre Dumas, the great 19th Century writer, was often called “Père“, which – strangely enough – is French for father! Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

“God pardons like a mother who kisses away the repentant tears of her child.” — Henry Ward Beecher
(Hmm. The day after Father’s Day. We’ll see how long this continues. I wonder if Rebecca was physically, or sexually, abused by her father? Maybe, he was too strict? Maybe, he was abusive to her mother? Or, maybe he just abandoned them? She most definitely shows an anti-male bias in a lot of her quotes selections. Very unfortunate. I hope she gets help for this. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR
