“It is not possible for civilization to flow backwards while there is youth in the world.”   —   Helen Keller

(There’s always going to be youth.  And, usually they think that their elders kinda let them down, and they’re going to do things differently.  Better.  Believe it, or not, we did try to make things better ourselves.  But bad things still happened, despite our efforts.  Best of luck to the youth of today, and to those of tomorrow.  They’re going to need it.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

“The only thing worse than being blind is having sight but no vision.”   —   Helen Keller

(Sight is the physical sense, while vision is more about attitude.  Attitudes are largely driven by nurture, conditioning and experiences.  When those formative things are of a positive nature you are more likely to have an attitude that enables vision.  Be well, be positive and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
