Waging WAR on Ignorance, Intolerance & Injustice!
“One can be very happy without demanding that others should agree with them.” — Goethe
(That Gerty was the greatest! More people should follow Gerty’s lead. I wonder if those who do demand that others should agree with them are just unhappy? I’m guessing that they are at least somewhat unfulfilled. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

Happy birthday to Alana Haim of Haim! (The sisters look like they really had fun making this video!)
“Happy is the man who early learns the wide chasm that lies between his wishes and his powers.” — Goethe
(Very often – unfortunately – it takes some time to realize that we don’t have the necessary powers. But then again, some people just don’t have enough confidence, and give up way too early! Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

Happy birthday to both Rivers Cuomo of Weezer, and Paul DeLisle of Smash Mouth!
“One always has time enough if one will apply it well.” — Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
(Yeah, I usually just piddle it away. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

“The decline of literature indicates the decline of a nation; the two keep pace in their downward tendency.” — Goethe
(Wolfie was the man! Ya know, this is one of those rare occasions where both the Jumble and the Cryptoquote feature a form of the same word. Down in the Jumble, and downward in the Cryptoquote! And, today is Pearl Harbor Day! Wow! That was 79 years ago. The Japanese were super ambitious that day, as they also raided targets in Malaya, Hong Kong, Guam, the Philippines and Wake Island. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

“Magic is believing in yourself, if you can do that you can make anything happen.” — Goethe

“If we treat people as they ought to be, we help them become what they are capable of becoming.” — Goethe
(It must be a kind of insecurity then that drives some people to mistreat others. These people can only feel good about themselves when they are causing others not to succeed. Very sad. Be well and do good, friends. I generally hate using this word, but obey the golden rule!) — YUR
Simpsons Comics – Dollars to Donuts …In real life, not everyone is a winner — “dumbing down” expectations by honoring everyone equally (June 8, 2012 / 18 Sivan 5772) … (Photo credit: marsmet545)
“Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do.” — Goethe
(I’d bet dollars to donuts that he did not pen this as a young man. Unfortunately, this is the kind ow wisdom that comes with age. I say unfortunately because, by the time you come to this realization it just might be too late. The optimist in me wants to believe that it’s never too late. But, the realist in me sees things differently. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR
“One man’s word is no man’s word: we should quietly hear both sides.” — Johann Von Goethe
(A good perspective to have. You just have to suspend it while listening to your wife vent. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR
“Happy is the man who early learns the wide chasm that lies between his wishes and his powers.” — Goethe
(And sad is the man who second guesses himself and takes the safe route, and forever wonders: what if . . . ) — YUR
