What i found fascinating was just how quickly the best of the young negro league players were drafted into the major leagues once branch rickey broke the color line by hiring jackie robinson. it was clear that all of the major league owners already knew the talents of the black ballplayers that they had refused to let into their league.

She long ago accepted the fact that happiness is like, swallows in spring. it may come and nest under your eaves or it may not. you cannot command it.

Imagine hidden in a simpler exterior a secret receptacle wherein the most precious treasure is deposited - there is a spring which has to be pressed, but the spring is hidden, and the pressure must have a certain strength, so that an accidental pressure would not be sufficient. so likewise is the hope of eternity hidden in man's inmost parts, and affliction is the pressure. when it presses the hidden spring, and strongly enough, then the contents appear in all their glory.

When a poet mentions the spring, we know that the zephyrs are about to whisper, that the groves are to recover their verdure, the linnets to warble forth their notes of love, and the flocks and herds to frisk over vales painted with flowers: yet, who is there so insensible of the beauties of nature, so little delighted with the renovation of the world, as not to feel his heart bound at the mention of the spring?
