“England is like the margin of a spring-run: near its source, always gr...” — John Burroughs Quote

England is like the margin of a spring-run: near its source, always green, always cool, always moist, comparatively free from frost in winter and from drought in summer.

Without the emotion of the beautiful, the sublime, the mysterious, there is no art, no religion, no literature.

The human body is a steed that goes freest and longest under a light rider, and the lightest of all riders is a cheerful heart.

I have thought that a good test of civilization, perhaps one of the best, is country life. Where country life is safe and enjoyable, where many of the conveniences and appliances of the town are joined to the large freedom and large benefits of the country, a high state of civilization prevails.

Sleeping hurt, everything hurt. But it's pretty cool what you can do to the body by working out.

You can be cool and at the same time respect your woman, who will hopefully become your wife, who will hopefully become the mother of your kids. America needs to get back to family values.

Everyone always says, 'Don't take it for granted.' I don't think we do take it for granted, but sometimes you get caught up in the grind and you get into the routine and you don't really realize how cool it is to play baseball for a living.

It seems like once people grow up, they have no idea what's cool.

I don't mind not being cool.
