Nearly all the best things that came to me in life have been unexpected, unplanned by me.

Freedom is baffling: men having it often know not they have it till it is gone and they no longer have it.

Such a Big miracle in such a tiny baby. Big things often have small beginnings A baby is God's opinion that life should go on.

I remember the Chillicothe ballplayers grappling the Long Island ball players in a sixteen-inning game ended by darkness. And the shoulders of the Chillicothe players were a red smoke against the sundown and the shoulders of the Rock Island players were a yellow smoke against the sundown. And the umpire's voice was hoarse calling balls and strikes and outs and the umpire's throat fought in the dust for a song.

The fog comes on little cat feet.

Time is the coin of life. Only you can determine how it will be spent.

I've written some poetry I don't understand myself.
