• Know what the difference between hitting .250 and .300 is? It's 25 hits - 25 hits in 500 at-bats is 50 points. There's six months in a season, that's about 25 weeks. That means if you get just one extra flare a week - just one - you get a ground ball with eyes, you get a dying quail, just one more dying quail a week ... and you're in Yankee Stadium.

• It is a curious fact that no man likes to call himself a glutton, and yet each of us has in him a trace of gluttony, potential or actual. I cannot believe that there exists a single coherent human being who will not confess, at least to himself, that once or twice he has stuffed himself to bursting point on anything from quail financiere to flapjacks, for no other reason than the beastlike satisfaction of his belly.

• The only birds I know about are the duck and the dove and the quail, birds that you shoot. You're not really supposed to shoot cardinals. I don't know if I'd shoot this bird. It looks pretty mean. This bird might pull a gun out and shoot right back at you.

• Cuidado: La ignorancia se protege a sí misma. La ignorancia fomenta la sospecha. La sospecha engendra miedo. El miedo se acobarda, Irracional y ciego, O el miedo se cierne, Desafiante y cerrado. Ciega, cerrada, Sospechosa, temerosa, La ignorancia se protege, Y protegida, La ignorancia crece.

• La confianza es vencedora de los hombres; victoriosa sobre ellos y en ellos; la férrea voluntad de un corazón robusto hará temblar a mil; un enano débil, resuelto sin miedo, cambiará la marea de la batalla, y reunirá para una lucha más noble a los gigantes que habían huido.

• Y si no hay coches ni aviones, y si el tío John de nadie está en el bosque al oeste de la ciudad golpeando una codorniz o un faisán; si el único sonido es el lento latido de tu propio corazón, puedes oír otro sonido, y es el sonido de la vida que se acerca a su fin cíclico, esperando la primera nevada invernal para realizar los últimos ritos.

• From the empty grave of Jesus the enemies of the cross turn away in unconcealable dismay. Those whom the force of no logic can convince, and whose hearts are steeled against the appeal of almighty love from the cross itself, quail before the irresistible power of this simple fact. Christ has risen from the dead! After two thousand years of the most determined assault upon the evidence which demonstrates it, that fact stands. And so long as it stands Christianity, too, must stand as the one supernatural religion.
