What’s the difference between STATUS QUOtes and Q.U.O.T.E. (Quotes Up On The Edge)

If you happen to follow STATUS QUOtes on a regular basis, you might have noticed that controversial topics are largely avoided.

As a quotation enthusiast, I felt there was a need for a space with quotes that would resonate with readers and which, by the nature of the quote or the person quoted, might cut a bit closer to the bone than those on the STATUS QUOte pages.

That’s where Q.U.O.T.E. – Quotes Up On The Edge comes in. These pages, unlike STATUS QUOtes, will not be published on a daily or regular basis. When there has been an ample number of witticisms, timely remarks, irreverent humor, etc. to gather an interesting compilation, they will appear on JBRish.com

If this is your “cup of tea,” check back often! Please do not comment about the topics and/or opinions; they are not necessarily those of JBRish. If you have something to say that would enlighten viewers regarding the meaning of the quotation or quip, then please feel free to chime in.

STATUS QUOte Picture Quote – 20200723

Jeff

Just think of all of the information we lose every day from those who pass away without sharing their life’s lessons, hard-earned skills or common sense. In a way, this is what Wikipedia is trying to do, i.e. harness as much knowledge as possible to preserve for posterity.

While that is all well and good, there are other less academic nuggets of gold that get lost along the way. How can we share what we know and inspire others? We may never know the ripples we set in motion, but the Universe remembers!


“I have never met a man so ignorant that I couldn’t learn something from him.”
       — Galileo Galilei —

 
Share with the world what you know and enjoy!
