I Believe That Writing Is

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.

I Can't Say That I've Changed Anybody's Life, Ever, And That's The Real Work Of The World, If You Want A Better Society.

It Does No Harm Just Once In A While To Acknowledge That The Whole Country Isn't In Flames, That There Are People In The Country Besides Politicians, Entertainers, And Criminals.

When We Become A Really Mature, Grown-up, Wise Society, We Will Put Teachers At The Center Of The Community, Where They Belong. We Don't Honor Them Enough, We Don't Pay Them Enough.

Often I Have Been Exhausted On Trout Streams, Uncomfortable, Wet, Cold, Briar Scarred, Sunburned, Mosquito Bitten, But Never, With A Fly Rod In My Hand Have I Been Less Than In A Place That Was Less Than Beautiful.
