Waging WAR on Ignorance, Intolerance & Injustice!
“A torn jacket is soon mended; but hard words bruise the heart of a child.” — H.W. Longfellow
(I didn’t pick up on this being a Longfellow quote until I was about 3/4s done! Teach your kids right from wrong, but don’t use words that make them feel stupid. They stay with them a long, long time. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR
PS. Happy Birthday, to my beautiful baby sister, Debbie! She is one year behind Kevin Bacon! LOL! — YUR

“Most persons would succeed in small things if they were not troubled with great ambitions.“ — (H. W.) Longfellow

(I think that there is more than a touch of sarcasm in this quotation. I do many small things very well – including this blog? – and what do I have to show for it? I think this is Longfellow’s way of saying: Take care of the big things, and the small things will take care of themselves. I liked how they made this quote look like it was from one of the famous, one-name authors, like Socrates or Cicero. Maybe some of our complaining is paying off! Aaah! The power of the internet . . . blog! Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

(Why is it we always seem to learn this the hard way???) — YUR
“The talent of success is nothing more than doing what you can do well and doing well whatever you do.” — H.W. Longfellow
