I found this quote during a recent bought of insomnia and thought I would pass it along.

"A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball, and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be your constant companion of your walks."
Thomas Jefferson

Our Founding Fathers sure were smart. Too bad some of their offspring lost something along the way...

Don't talk about what you have done or what you are going to do.

Probably got that quote from Aaron Burr.

Actually if you're referring to "Primer Lessons" it was a poem not a quote actually written in 1922. It actually refers to the way words are used in reference...Aaron Burr is more famous for "Go West young man" but enough of poetry to make a point though it can be also a quote...
