and knaves their power;
Let fortune's bubbles
rise and fall;
Who sows a field,
or trains a flower,
Or plants a tree,
is more than all."

is a creature
driven by demons.
He doesn't know

and he's usually too busy
to wonder why."

see gestures
than listen
to reasons."

"When I played ball,
I didn't play for fun. . . .
It's no pink tea,
and mollycoddles
had better stay out.
It's a contest
and everything
that implies,
a struggle
for supremacy,
a survival
of the fittest."
Ty Cobb
