“A learned fool is more foolish than an ignorant fool.”   —   Moliere

(At least the ignorant fool has an excuse.  I can’t tell you how many MBAs I worked with who’d find it challenging to tie their own shoes.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

“Dress unaffectedly, and without haste, follow the changes in the current taste.”   —   Molière

(I get what he means.  Dress simply and quickly, but don’t look terribly antiquated.  Those wide, floppy lapels are coming back . . . never!  Hopefully.  The only hitch in this quote is if the “current taste” is decidedly “affected”.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

(Belated) Cryptoquote Spoiler – 03/21/20

“In clothes as well as in speech, the man of taste will shun all these extremes that give offense.”   —   Moliere

(Good ol’ J-BP knoweth of what he speaketh!  LOL!  But, try and explain this to Billy Porter, Lady Gaga, Jonathan Van Ness and so many of today’s celebs.  I know they all have their reasons, but I do get kind of tired of it all.  I’m getting cranky in my old age!  You might get a sense of irony in the picture of Moliere that I selected.  But, you have to remember that – among many things – he was an actor!  He’s more than kinda a big deal.  Just ask Micheline Walker! 

Love ya, Gaga!  You were absolutely brilliant in “A Star Is Born”!  Looking at your entire birth name, I can see where you got “Gaga”.  Is that what you did?  Hmm!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

“It is not only for what we do that we are held responsible, but also for what we do not do.”   —   Moliere

(Strangely enough, this appears to be our first Moliere quotation, since I’ve been posting these spoilers.  There are various iterations of this sentiment, but it’s a great quote!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
