The dreams of youth grow dim where they lie caked with dust on the shelves of patience. Before we know it, the tomb is sealed.
Being brave in front of faith does not mean to be humble before death.

The best thing about lying in bed late is that you learn to distinguish between first things and trivia, for whatever presses on you has to prove its importance before it makes you move.
As far as I'm concerned, Aaron is the best ball player of my era. He is to baseball of the last fifteen years what Joe DiMaggio was before him. He's never received the credit he's due.
