Happy Birthday Leonard Nimoy (Mar 26, 1931 – Feb 27, 2015).

A few memorable quotes, as spoken by Spock, which are very relevant in these trying times of “illogic and foolish emotions” in MAGA world -

The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, or the one.

In critical moments, men sometimes see exactly what they wish to see.

Without followers, evil cannot spread.

When there is no emotion, there is no motive for violence.

“Live long and prosper.”
