Rosencrantz and Guildenstern

"Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication." - Jeff Rich

"It is difficult to free fools from the chains they revere." - Voltaire

“Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will.” - Martin Luther King Jr.

Guildenstern is now living with some other fish in a much larger tank with another family. I had to give him up because I'm moving across the country. Live long and prosper. May the spirit of Rosencrantz live in you forever.

"He should first study all the factors, including environment, which influence a patient's disease, and then prescribe treatment. It is more important to prevent the occurrence of disease than to seek a cure." - Charaka

"It is a time-honored adage, that love begets love. Let us pour forth love—show forth our kindness unto all mankind, and the Lord will reward us with everlasting increase." - Joseph Smith

"A man who lies to himself, and believes his own lies, becomes unable to recognize truth, either in himself or in anyone else, and he ends up losing respect for himself and for others. When he has no respect for anyone, he can no longer love, and in him, he yields to his impulses, indulges in the lowest form of pleasure, and behaves in the end like an animal in satisfying his vices. And it all comes from lying — to others and to yourself." - Fyodor Dostoyevsky

"We must stop seeing our opponents as our enemies." - Joe Biden

"Self-control is strength. Calmness is mastery. You have to get to a point where your mood doesn't shift based on the insignificant actions of someone else. Don't allow others to control the direction of your life. Don't allow your emotions to overpower your intelligence." — Morgan Freeman

“A lie doesn't become truth, wrong doesn't become right, and evil doesn't become good, just because it's accepted by a majority.” - Booker T. Washington

“To err is human; to admit it, superhuman.” – Doug Larson

“Many of our society’s great problems flow from people feeling not seen and known. There is a core democratic trait that we all have to get better at, and that is the trait of seeing each other deeply and being deeply seen. It’s a question of ... understanding each other.” - David Brooks
