Waging WAR on Ignorance, Intolerance & Injustice!
“Do not listen to those who weep and complain, for their disease is contagious.” — Og Mandino
(Well, not those who ALWAYS weep and complain. Every one of us has a valid reason for weeping and complaining, from time to time. It’s the constant complainers that drag you down. I like to point out the obvious sometimes. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

“Not knowing you can’t do something is sometimes all it takes to do it.” — Ally Carter
(And, not thinking that you can’t do it is a big help also! This is our first quote from the author of young adult fiction, like her series “Gallagher Girls”, and a whole bunch of other books. Looks like a nice lady. I like fresh blood! We welcome her to the Crytoquote Club today! Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

“In order to compose, all you need to remember is a tune that nobody else has thought of.” — Robert Schumann
(Easy for him, as he was a genius of a composer. Primarily for piano. Very accomplished, but, tragically, a short and troubled life. But, this appears to be the first of his quotes to be used for the Cryptoquote, so we welcome him to the Cryptoquote Club! Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

“No solution can ever be found by running in three different directions.” — Deepak Chopra
(To be sure. But, choosing your direction can only occur after you have weighed the options. Otherwise, you are just flying off half cocked. Surprisingly, this is the first Deepak Chopra quote to appear in the Cryptoquote, since I’ve been posting these spoilers. So we welcome Mr. Chopra to the Cryptoquote Club today! Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

“You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.” — Anonymous
(A lovely thought, and it’s very true. But, most of us kind of get locked into the quasi-negative, self-defeating mindset. Oh, and don’t forget about laziness and procrastination! Knock those bad boys out of the way, and you could even achieve those goals and dreams. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

“Defeat may serve as well as victory to shape shake the soul and let the glory out.” — Edwin Markham
(A very poetic way of saying you need to experience loss in order to be a gracious winner. This is our first quote from Edwin Markham, since I’ve been posting these spoilers. So, we welcome him to the Cryptoquote Club today! Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR
PS. Thanks to roy for pointing out my mistake! — YUR

“An old dog can learn new tricks. If your enthusiasm has lost its vitality, do everything possible to revive it.” — Don McArt
(This one took me quite a while to get started! No single letter words, and only two words ended in E. I suspected early on that the R was I, but I’d say finding the Q being the O, and especially the P being the N was what got me going. It let me see LEARN, which led me to ENTHUSIASM. Sadly, I do not recall Don McArt, but he was a comic actor who lived to age 90. He did a lot of Broadway, but also some Disney movies and television. No Wikipedia page, but there is some bio info of him in his obituary. In this photo he looks like George Burns, which was probably by design. It’s a fine quote, and we welcome him to the Cryptoquote Club today! Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR
