Sure as the most certain sure .... plumb in the uprights, well entreated, braced in the beams, Stout as a horse, affectionate, haughty, electrical, I and this mystery we stand. Clear and sweet is my soul .... and clear and sweet is all that is not my soul, Lack one lacks both .... and the unseen is proved by the seen Till that becomes unseen and receives proof in its turn. To elaborate is no avail .... Learned and unlearned feel that it is so.

I see great things in baseball. It's our game - the American game. It will take our people out-of-doors, fill them with oxygen, give them a larger physical stoicism. Tend to relieve us from being a nervous, dyspeptic set. Repair these losses, and be a blessing to us.

Over all the sky - the sky! Far, far out of reach, studded with eternal stars.

Simplicity is the glory of expression.

Shut not your doors to me proud libraries.

And I or you pocketless of a dime, may purchase the pick of the earth.

O the joy of my spirit - it is uncaged - it darts like lightning!
