Waging WAR on Ignorance, Intolerance & Injustice!
“Never explain – your friends do not need it and your enemies won’t believe you anyway.” — Elbert Hubbard
(I’m not sure that I agree with this. At least not 100%. First off; I don’t think my friends always understand me, and second; I like to think that – at least some of – my “enemies” can be reached, through reason and logic. But, I’m pretty sure that we’ve had this quote before. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

“He who does not understand your silence will probably not understand your words.” — Elbert Hubbard
(We definitely had this Hubbard quote a little over ten years ago. But I wouldn’t be surprised if we’ve had it since. Maybe with somebody paraphrasing it. It’s a great truism though. And, it was a fairly tough solve, with no THE, only two words ending in E, and two words ending in T. I also thought the last word was going to be WORLD, so I temporarily had the G as an L, and the Z as a D. But they were quick fixes. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

“The love we give away is the only love we keep.” — Elbert Hubbard
(We continue in our Valentine’s Day/Love theme! Perhaps this quote influenced The Beatles, when they wrote the line: “And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make.” Do I know this? Nope. But at least I got to reference something from my generation! Be well and do good, friends. And dig Ringo’s drum solo!) — YUR

“A friend is one who knows you and loves you just the same.” — Elbert Hubbard
(We may have had this quote in the past, but I can’t say for sure. But it has been a little while since we’ve had an Elbert Hubbard quote. Interesting guy. He and his wife, Alice, perished when the Germans sank the RMS Lusitania, back in 1915. I wonder if he had a quote about being in the wrong place, at the wrong time? Just like John Jacob Astor IV, who died on the Titanic a few years before, when your time is up . . . your time is up. Always tell your loved ones that you love them, folks. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

“The greatest mistake you can make in life is to be continually fearing you will make one.” — Elbert Hubbard
(This guy was great! I wish that I’d heard more of his quotes – like this one – when I was younger. I’ve always been the hesitant type. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

“If you have no enemies, you are apt to be in the same predicament in regard to friends.” — Elbert Hubbard
(You’ve got to put yourself out there, one way or another, folks. Not everyone is going to like you anyway. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

Happy birthday to Mike Peters of The Alarm!
“The secret of salvation is this: keep sweet, be useful and keep busy.” — Elbert Hubbard
(When I’m not being a total grump my wife thinks I’m sweet. Apparently, I’ve been useful to a few people on the internet over the years. And, writing this daily blog keeps me busy. I’m saved! Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

Happy birthday to Susan Tedeschi, of the Tedeschi Trucks Band!
“The greatest mistake you can make in life is to be continually fearing you will make one.” — Elbert Hubbard
(Truer words have never been spoken! You can’t worry about doing it right the first time. Occasionally, some do. But that’s called beginner’s luck. You have to be willing to fail, maybe even make a fool of yourself. That’s how we learn. That’s how we grow. Thinking you won’t do it, unless you can do it perfectly is a fool’s game. You can almost always do it better anyway. But you need a starting point. Lessons learned later in life. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

“A man is not paid for having a head and hands, but for using them.” — Elbert Hubbard
(Aah! THE Arts and Crafts man, among many other things. He definitely knew about using his head and his hands. He might be best known for saying: “Don’t take life too seriously. You’ll never get out of it alive.” Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

“Righteous indignation: your own wrath as opposed to the shocking bad temper of others.” — Elbert Hubbard
(So true! Every time I see some Congress person claiming that they are OUTRAGED, I just kind of shake my head. We haven’t had an Elbert Hubbard quotation in quite a while. Let’s hope we get a few more soon. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR
