baseball book thinking
The first books I was interested in were all about baseball. But I can't think of one single book that changed my life in any way.
writing thinking years
I would love to write something that people would still read 50 or 100 years from now. That comes with growing older, I think.
jobs thinking years
I don't think one should ever come to my stage of life and have to look back and say, Gosh. I wish I hadn't spent all those years doing that job I was never really interested in.
thinking pressure reputation
I don't think I had a reputation as a hard worker, but inside I was always being eaten up by the pressures.
happiness thinking giving
I think all those people I did stories about measured their own success by the joy their work was giving them.
insomnia thinking ambitious
I used to think that driving, sleepless, ambitious labor was what you needed to succeed.
sleep thinking littles
I think I'd have done better if I had been a little more relaxed-if I had not pressed quite so hard, if I'd not lost quite so much sleep.
memorable thinking rivers
I started out thinking of America as highways and state lines. As I got to know it better, I began to think of it as rivers.
joy looks easy
Look for joy in your life; it's not always easy to find.
sides spirit good-health
I would like to explore some side roads in life while I am still in good health and good spirits.
country stars yankees
You can find your way across this country using burger joint the way a navigatior uses stars....We have munched Bridge burgers in the shadow of the Brooklyn Bridge and Cable burgers hard by the Golden Gate, Dixie burgers in the sunny South and Yankee Doodle burgers in the North....We had a Capitol Burger - guess where. And so help us, in the inner courtyard of the Pentagon, a Penta burger.
years two rivers
The Mississippi River carries the mud of thirty states and two provinces 2,000 miles south to the delta and deposits 500 million tons of it there every year. The business of the Mississippi, which it will accomplish in time, is methodically to transport all of Illinois to the Gulf of Mexico.
journalism bigs competitiveness
I didn't like the competitiveness of big-time journalism.
southern said southerner
A true Southerner will never say in 2-3 words what can better be said in 10-12.
