Waging WAR on Ignorance, Intolerance & Injustice!
“Focus more on desire than on doubt, and the dream will take care of itself.” — Mark Twain
(Emphasizing too much caution, and downplaying accomplishments, has a way of planting the debilitating seeds of doubt. Parents need to instill confidence in their children. Plant positivity! Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

“Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence in society.” — Mark Twain
(Unless you’re Lady Godiva! Or, that emperor dude who was ratted out by the little kid. Funny quote, but also a pretty quick solve, after deciding that the B was the E, and quickly seeing the author’s name. Fashion-wise, I’ve always been pretty conservative. Some of today’s get-ups and “styles” just make me shake my head, in disbelief. To each their own, I guess! Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

“Good friends, good books and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life.” — Mark Twain
(“Sleepy conscience” kind of threw me. I had to look it up. All it means is to chill. Take it easy. And to live and let live. You don’t need to confront someone because they have a different idea, or opinion, of things. You’ve heard people say never discuss religion or politics, right? Those two things can very often start an argument, even amongst great friends. Jonathan Swift once famously said: “You cannot reason someone out of something he or she was not reasoned into”. Like they say: Ya gots ta go along ta git along! We’re just better off keeping somethings to ourselves. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR
“Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don’t mind, it doesn’t matter.” — Mark Twain
(Maybe his best known, and oft borrowed/repeated quote! WordPress used to kind of rank the most often used Tags – which for me are largely quote sources – by giving them a larger font. I miss those days. But most – American – cryptogram solvers know that Mark Twain is right up there with William Shakespeare as most quote worthy. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

“When a man loves cats, I am his friend and comrade, without further introduction.“ — Mark Twain
(Didja hear that, Republican wing-nuts? Mark Twain had “comrades”! He musta been one o’ those Pinko-Commies! Clearly, we must ban ALL of his books from our schools, so our children can’t be groomed into Socialism! 😉😉😁 The quote in the graphic is for the folks who believe the 2020 Presidential election was “stolen”, and Global Warming is a “liberal hoax”. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

“Never put off till tomorrow what you can do the day after tomorrow.” — Mark Twain
(Ironically, that’s kind of become my unofficial mantra. I just can’t seem to get much of anything done these days. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

“Forgiveness is the fragrance the violet sheds on the heel that crushed it.” — Mark Twain
(Probably a top five thing that we can give to each other! It’s one of those things that makes both parties feel better. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

A big Happy Birthday to Cherilyn Sarkisian, aka: Cher! (Here she is doing a great cover of one of my favorites songs!)
“The dog is a gentleman; I hope to go to his heaven, not man’s.” — Mark Twain
(I am definitely with ol’ Sam on this one. Seeing some departed friends and family might be enjoyable, but I think I’d rather spend eternity with all of my pets. I speak with two of them each night. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

Happy birthday to Craig Adams, of The Cult! (Another head-banger!)
“Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.” — Mark Twain
(So be kind, folks! Just like the old expression about catching more flies with honey, than with vinegar. It just gets better results. Besides . . . mean people suck! Another one of today’s coincidences; as I was getting ready to write this post something from Operation Kindness popped up on my Facebook feed! Apparently, November is Adopt a Senior Pet Month! So, if you need a little company consider adopting a dog or cat that is five years old, or older. They are ready made for loving! Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

Happy birthday to the great Delbert McClinton!
“The art of prophecy is very difficult, especially with respect to the future.” — Mark Twain
(Sometimes silly humor is the best! This is definitely silly. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

Happy Birthday to H.E.R.! (Not really my style, but at least this song is lyrical.)
