Depart the ballpark in the sixth inning if you’ve warned the kids and their behavior is still poor. If we do something like this once, our kids will remember it for a long time.”
—Fred G. Gosman (20th century)
“There are two times in a man’s life when he should not speculate: when he can’t afford it, and when he can.”
