“Baseball is about homecoming. It is a journey by theft and strength, guile and speed, out around first to the far island of second, where foes lurk in the reefs and the green sea suddenly grows deeper, then to turn sharply, skimming the shallows, making for a shore that will show a friendly face, a color, a familiar language and, at third, to proceed, no longer by paths indirect but straight, to home.” FirstsShowsHomeFacesTurnsLanguageGrowsPathJourneySeaColorBaseballThirdsGreenDeeperSpeedFamiliarIslandsFriendlyShoreFoeTheftIndirectHomecomingReefsGuileSkimmingFriendly Faces Book:A Great and Glorious Game: Baseball Writings of A.

“There are but three political-economic roads from which we can choose... We could take the first course and further exacerbate the already concentrated ownership of productive capital in the American economy. Or we could join the rest of the world by taking the second path, that of nationalization.

The choice is ours.” WorldFirstsPoliticalChoicesThreeCoursesPoliticsIndividualEconomyPathEconomicPolicyThirdsWorkersLiberalismProductiveOwnersOwnershipAmerican Economy Author:Russell B. Long

“Two-thirds of Americans think our kids will have a worse life than we did. That is a powerful indication we are on the wrong path. I think we can change that, but I'll tell you, that's what I'm going to fight to do, and the reason so many grass-roots activists poured so much into it is they believed in our country. They believed in liberty.” ThinkingTwoCountryReasonKidsFightingPowerfulLibertyPathRootsThirdsOur CountryGrassActivistIndicationWrong Path Author:Ted Cruz
“When my husband was president, we went from a $300 billion deficit to a $200 billion surplus and we were actually on the path to eliminating the national debt.
