THE ENEMY OF MY ENEMY

“In time of grave danger,
walk with the devil until

Truth is constant

“TRUTH does not become more true
by virtue of the fact that the entire world agrees with it,
nor less so even if the whole world disagrees with it.”
— Maimonides
a Sephardic Jewish philosopher
who became one of the most prolific and influential
Torah scholars of the Middle Ages

Wisdom from Mr. Lincoln

“Adhere to your purpose
and you will soon feel
as well as you ever did.
On the contrary,
if you give up,
you will lose your power
of keeping any resolution,
and will regret it
all your life.”

— Abraham Lincoln

“Learn from the mistakes of others. You can never live long enough to make them all yourself.” — Groucho Marx

“Learn from the mistakes of others. You can never live long enough to make them all yourself.”

I love Groucho. Watching clips of him on YouTube with Dick Cavett and others is addicting.

“Work as if you lived in the early days of a better nation.” Or world.

A mistake etched in stone.

This is etched on a wall at the Scottish Parliament. It is often misattributed to a Scottish writer and artist named Alasdair Gray. Gray credits Dennis Lee, a Canadian poet. A paraphrase of this quote — “Work as if you live in the early days of a better world.” — is on a mural in a subway station in Glasgow.

Making Those Unknown Known

“I think that when you die, you should be able to hold on to your history and who you are and for others to know that here is this person and not just be put into an unmarked grave and no one knows your name. We all deserve our life history and for people to know who we are and where we are.”
— Dr. Jennifer Love, a forensic anthropologist who works to identify people who have died

“If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves…”

“If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.”
— Second Chronicles 7:14 NKJV

Sound advice that is thousands of years old.

Those Left Behind

“How
can the dead
be truly dead
when they still live
in the souls
of those
who are
left behind?”
— Carson McCullers in The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter

I am human. You are human. That means we are supposed to have flaws.

Lest We Forget

When someone makes a mistake, may we remember this.
