“Whenever a man’s failure can be traced to management’s mistakes, he has to be kept on the payroll.”   —   Peter Drucker

( . . . if only to keep him quiet!  Far too often management does not like to own up to their “mistakes”.  It’s much easier to take the employee’s “failure” and just make him/her the scapegoat.  And, if he/she makes too big of a stink, you offer them a package to leave, and make them sign a non-disclosure agreement!  This is another case of the way things should be vs. the way things usually are.  Not really negative, folks.  Just been there, done that!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

“One who buys needs one hundred eyes; one is enough for him who sells.”   —   German Proverb

(Gotta love the directness of these German sayings!  This came up in my Google Image search for German Proverbs.  It may not be appropriate, but it made me smile.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

“You are much deeper, much broader, much brighter than any idea you could have of yourself.”   —   Harry Palmer

(I can’t tell if this is a quote from the Len Deighton character from “The Ipcress File”, or from the author of “The Avatar Path”!  Most likely the latter, but I couldn’t swear to it.  Rebecca has been known to slip in a character’s quote on occasion.  This makes me want to see the series of Michael Caine movies though!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

“If you realize that you have enough, you are truly rich.”   —   Lao Tzu

(Oh, he never would’ve made it on MTV!  I think they borrowed from the Mick Jagger quote:  “Too much is never enough.”  Mick is no slouch though.  He was likely playing off the famous Lao Tzu quotation.  But, I think Johnny Cash said it best when he said:  How do you do?  My name’s Lau Tzu!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

“If you don’t love yourself, you’ll always be chasing after people who don’t love you either.”   —   Mandy Hale

(Another young, current female author . . . that I’d never heard of before!  Would she be considered “woke”?   I don’t get why you’d use the past tense of wake, when you could just as easily – and more correctly – use awake.  Don’t mind me.  I just didn’t have much to say about this quote, and I’m just riffin’ a bit.  Okay, I suppose there is truth to the quote.  I always wondered why so many women seem to go after the “bad” boys.  I guess they just have low self-esteem.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

“Maturing is realizing how many things don’t require your comment.”   —   Rachel Wolchin

( . . . and getting old is not giving a crap, and commenting anyway!  LOL!  Actually, this is not a bad quote.  But, I definitely think it applies more to how teens, and young adults, seem to think they know just about everything.  But, as they mature, a kind of enlightenment . . . eventually sets in.  We welcome the wise – beyond her years – Rachel Wolchin to the Cryptoquote Club today.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

“Books serve to show a man that those original thoughts of his aren’t very new at all.”   —   Abraham Lincoln

(I don’t know.  People are still coming up with incredible ideas all the time.  Every time I watch “The Henry Ford’s Innovation Nation”, with Mo Rocca, I’m impressed with all the inventions and new ideas.  The show is geared for teenagers, but my wife and I love it.  I’ve really got to get to the Henry Ford – Museum and Greenfield Village, in Dearborn, MI, one day.  It seems to have everything.  And, maybe I’ll run into Alie Ward.  She is muy caliente . . . in a nerdy sorta way.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
