“Having labored faithfully in establishing the right of self-government, we see in the rising generation, into whose hands it is passing, that purity of principle and energy of character which will protect and preserve it through their day, and deliver it over to their sons as they receive it from their fathers.” SelfCharacterHandsGovernmentFatherEnergyPrinciplesGenerationsYouthSonProtectPassingPassingsPreservesPurityRisingSelf-governmentInexperience Book:The writings of Thomas Jefferson Source: The writings of Thomas Jefferson
“I was a really good youth boxer, and I enjoyed the sport very much. Once I actually started to play the trumpet, it is very similar to boxing. Most of the great trumpet players boxed: Miles Davis was a boxer, Wallace Roney is a boxer, Terrence Blanchard is a boxer. In a boxing ring, no one can help you. It's just you and the other guy, and your job is to get him out of there, to outscore him in the best sense of it. When you learn to box, the first thing they teach you is to protect yourself at all times, and some people also learn that they like being hit.” PeopleHelpingGuySportsTeachPlayerYouthProtectRingsAll TimeBoxingOther GuysProtect Yourself Author:Christian Scott
