“People always ask me ‘Were you funny as a child?’  Well, no, I was an accountant.”   —   Ellen Degeneres

(Once again, I saw the author’s name right off the bat!  I really need to ignore this aspect of the puzzle, because it’s making the solving of the quote too easy.  It’s a funny quote though!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

“I really don’t think I need buns of steel.  I’d be happy with buns of cinnamon.”   —   Ellen Degeneres

(Such a funny lady.  And, such a big heart too.  I’ve got a tiny little butt, but it’s firm.  LOL!  I love cinnamon buns.  They’re probably my favorite non-chocolate dessert.  Well, those and molasses cookies.  But, they’re kinda hard to find.  Be well and do good, folks.)   —   YUR

“Never follow someone else’s path.  Unless you’re in the woods and you’re lost and you see a path, then by all means you should follow that.”   —   Ellen Degeneres

(I can just hear her saying this.  She’s like the queen of the run-on sentence!  Who doesn’t like Ellen Degeneres?  She’s smart, she’s funny, she’s compassionate, and she’s even pleasant looking.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

“I learned compassion from being discriminated against.  Everything bad that’s ever happened to me has taught me compassion.”   —   Ellen Degeneres

(A very personal statement, in my view.  I know plenty of people who know, and have, and show compassion who were not discriminated against.  And, I know people who have experienced much discrimination who are nothing but bitter, and far from compassionate.  I’m glad that she has taken the bad and made it into something good though.  She seems to be a very cool person.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

“Sometimes you can’t see yourself clearly until you see yourself through the eyes of others.”   —   Ellen Degeneres

(Our eyes do tend to delude us, in a number of ways.  And, we carry certain preconceptions about ourselves, that are often not all that accurate.  Hopefully, those others set us straight with a little tenderness.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
