More Quotes from Walter Raleigh:
To His Son Three things there be that prosper up apace And flourish whilst they grow asunder far But on a day, they meet all in one place, And when they meet they one another mar And they be these the wood, the weed, the wag. The wood is that which makes the gallows tree The weed is that which strings the hangman's bag The wag, my pretty knave, betokeneth thee. Mark well, dear boy, whilst these assemble not, Green springs the tree, hemp grows, the wag is wild But when they meet, it makes the timber rot, It frets the halter, and it chokes the child. Then bless thee, and beware, and let us pray We part not with thee at this meeting day.Walter Raleigh

Walter Raleigh

Walter Raleigh

As the days went on, I didn't mind the games. In fact, I looked forward to them. That was the easiest part of all. I couldn't wait to get to the ballpark I'd be the first one there and I was willing to do anything. I think that's why the veterans liked me.
