You may have run across this graphic “Cultural Mélange” on the Internet, but I think it is worth sharing again.
I’ve shown this to a number of people, and I can guarantee that you will only react to it if you are something of a “geek”
Take a look and let me know YOUR reaction.
And the point I am trying to make?
Messing with the culture of your audience can be fun. The trick to it is to make sure it doesn’t look like a mistake.
For example, if the picture had only Gandalf and the quote, you might think it was just a stupid error, but adding a Yoda quote takes it out of “accidentsville” and makes it “real”.
It grows more and more difficult to goof on culture these days because we seem, less and less, to have a distinct culture. But that is grist for another mill.
In any event, enjoy the picture. If it rankles you, you’re a geek (and I mean that in the very kindest way). If it means nothing to you, don’t let it bother you.
What good is culture, anyway? (grin)

There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio... and isn't it time you experienced some of them?
I think it said the author of the quote was ‘double lore’ or something. Couldn’t read it. But maybe that’s OK. Have heard this quote before and am not sure whether it ‘makes sense’. Possibly we can never, when it comes to accomplishment or ‘success’ either ‘do’ or ‘do not’. I’m attempting to make the case here, that with either the one or the other there is an element, if we consider a purpose, goal, or conclusion, of ‘trying’, as we are always in some kind of process rather than ‘completion’. Even if we ‘do not’ we are ‘doing’, and even if we are ‘doing’, we are not ‘doing it all at once’. Just my ‘guru’ take on ‘issue’
If at first you don’t succeed ‘try’ and ‘try’ again?
For the ‘do not’: it’s hard to follow all the ‘commandments’ that tell us what ‘not’ to do; but I keep trying ‘not to violate the laws!’
Or is it a bit like ‘making up your mind’ about something and deciding whether it is a ‘yes’ a ‘no’ or a ‘maybe’??????
