Prosperity is just around the corner.

I was for a short time on the baseball team as shortstop, where I was not so good.

All men are equal before fish.

Man is still by instinct a predatory animal given to devilish aggression. The discoveries of science have immensely increased productivity of material things. They have increased the standards of living and comfort. They have eliminated infinite drudgery. They have increased leisure. But that gives more time for devilment. The work of science has eliminated much disease and suffering. It has increased the length of life. That, together with increase in productivity, has resulted in vastly increased populations. Also it increased the number of people engaged in devilment.

No greater nor more affectionate honor can be conferred on an American than to have a public school named after him.

Public health service should be as fully organized and as universally incorporated into our governmental system as is public education. The returns are a thousand fold in economic benefits, and infinitely more in reduction of suffering and promotion of human happiness.

The gods do not deduct from man's allotted span the hours spent in fishing.
