I enjoy bass fishing, deer hunting and golfing in the south.
My reading of history convinces
Me that most bad government
Has grown out of too much
Government.
- John Sharp Williams
It is incumbent on every generation
To pay its own debts as it goes.
A principle which if acted on would
Save one-half the wars of the world.
- Thomas Jefferson
The strongest reason for the people
To retain the right to bear arms is,
As a last resort, to protect themselves
Against tyranny in government.
- Thomas Jefferson
Why not chase what some see
As impossible?
Why not believe in yourself?
Why not dare to be great...
Even if it means being
different?"
- John Smoltz
It took me seventeen years
To get three thousand hits
In baseball. It took one
Afternoon on the golf course.
- Hank Aaron
You play the game to win
The World Series.
Cy Young's are nice,
They really are.
They're great and I'm proud
Of them...
But easily the biggest thing
I've accomplished is getting
That World Series ring.
- Greg Maddux
I’m for the dreamers.
The only really important things
In history have been started by
The dreamers.
They never know what can’t be
Done.
Bill Veeck
The way I figured it,
I was even with baseball and
Baseball with me.
The game had done much for
Me, and I had done much for
It.
Jackie Robinson
Life will always throw you curves,
Just keep fouling them off,
The right pitch will come and
When it does be prepared to
Run the bases.

A person really doesn't become whole,
Until he becomes a part of something
That’s bigger than himself.
- Coach Jim Valvano
How do you go from where you are
To where you want to be?
I think you have to have an
Enthusiasm for life.
You have to have a dream, a goal.
You have to be willing to work for it.
- Coach Jim Valvano
Cancer can take away all
Of my physical abilities…
It cannot touch my mind;
It cannot touch my heart,
And it cannot touch my soul.
- Coach Jim Valvano
The democracy will cease to exist
When you take away from those
Who are willing to work and give
To those who would not.
- Thomas Jefferson
I predict future happiness for Americans
If they can prevent the government from
Wasting the labors of the people under
The pretense of taking care of them.
- Thomas Jefferson
To take from one, because it is thought
That his own industry and that of his
Fathers has acquired too much,
In order to spare others, who
Or whose fathers have not exercised
Equal industry and skill,
Is to violate the first principle of
Association, ‘the guarantee to every one
Of a free exercise of his industry,
And the fruits acquired by it.'
- Thomas Jefferson
Memory is a man’s real possession …
In nothing else is he rich,
In nothing else is he poor.
- Alexander Smith
A strange thing is memory, and hope;
One looks backward, and the other forward;
One is of today, the other of tomorrow.
Memory is history recorded in our brain,
Memory is a painter,
It paints pictures of the past and of the day.
- Anna Mary Robertson Moses
We do not remember days;
We remember moments.
- Cesare Pavese
Memories, pressed between the
pages of my mind
Memories, sweetened through the ages just like wine
Quiet thoughts
come floating down
And settle softly to the ground
Like golden autumn leaves around my feet
I touched them and they burst apart with sweet memories
Sweet memories
Of holding hands and red bouquets
And twilight's trimmed in purple haze
And laughing eyes and simple ways
And quiet nights and gentle days, with you
Memories, pressed between the pages of my mind
Memories, sweetened through the ages just like wine
Memories, memories
Of holding hands and red bouquets
And twilight trimmed in purple haze
And laughing eyes and simple ways
And quiet nights and gentle days, with you
Memories, pressed between the pages of my mind
Memories, sweetened through the ages just like wine
Memories, memories, sweet memories
Memories
“These are the things that, when I’m done playing
hopefully a long, long time from now, I’ll be able to
look back and kind of remember this moment.
And it’s special. This is what you dream of when
you’re a kid. You really do, hitting a homer to clinch
a playoff. And for it to happen, it’s kind of amazing.
It really is. So kind of hard to put into words right now.”
- Freddie Freeman
“There wasn’t much going on (in his mind rounding
the bases). I was hoping I didn’t fall over. I had a lot of
cool moments in my career, but so far I think that’s
going to top them right there. But hopefully that’s not
the last cool one.”
- Freddie Freeman
“It was like the perfect ending. Unbelievable.”
- Brian Snitker
“I don’t think I’ve ever seen him emotional that before.
But who wouldn’t be that emotional sending us to the NLCS?
That’s so cool. I’m so happy for him to come up in that
big moment for us when we needed him the most.
He’s been there for us all year. What’s he played, like,
160 games, something like that? For him to get that emotional,
it fired us all up, honestly.”
- Travis D’Arnaud
“It’s very special to get a hit off Hader.”
- Eddie Rosario
Set your goals high,
And don't stop till
You get there.
- Bo Jackson
The important thing is this…
To be able at any moment to
Sacrifice what we are for what
We could become.
- Charles Du Bos
Success lies in simplicity.
Are you doing the simple things
Better than everyone else?
These three "sets" will help you
Relate to others…
Skill sets, mindsets, and resets.
- Kevin LeGrett
Forgiveness
Is not something
We do for other people
We do it for ourselves…
To get well and
Move on.

Faith that does not call
For sacrifice will never

One can have knowledge
Without having wisdom,
But one cannot have wisdom
