“It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men.”   —   Frederick Douglass

(Just don’t confuse this for having a namby-pamby, no discipline approach to raising your kids!  Because, if anything, he’s advocating the exact opposite.  Children require limits, and limits require a measure of discipline.  Civilized societies require its citizens to be adhering to community standards.  You can still maintain your individuality without being selfish and ill-mannered.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

“We are one, our cause is one, and we must help each other, if we are to succeed.”   —   Frederick Douglass

(A great quote, from a great man!  I got a question for all the people who – so lightly – respond with Blue Lives Matter, or All Lives Matter.  Do you realize/comprehend that it’s NOT Just Black Lives Matter, but Black Lives Matter Too???  Or, are your hearts and heads just so full of hatred that you can’t see when other people are being oppressed?  We all have so much more in common, once you get past our cosmetic differences.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

“Power concedes nothing without a demand.  It never did and it never will.”   —   Frederick Douglass

( . . . and, it’s only “class warfare” when the disenfranchised decide to fight back!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
