• Do not weep, maiden, for war is kind. Because your lover threw wild hands toward the sky And the affrighted steed ran on alone, Do not weep. War is kind. Hoarse, booming drums of the regiment, Little souls who thirst for fight, These men were born to drill and die. The unexplained glory flies above them, Great is the battle-god, great, and his kingdom -A field where a thousand corpses lie. Do not weep, babe, for war is kind.

  Stephen Crane

• In the 1920s, everyone wanted to be a celebrity. Everyone wanted to be like Babe Ruth or Charles Lindbergh. ... Businessmen, in particular, in the '20s really believed that to be a success, an entrepreneur needed to have a personality, a sense that you were a success. That's why I think Capone dressed the way he did. And that's why he entertained the press — because he wanted to be perceived as a successful American. Dale Carnegie ... would later cite Capone as a model for creating the public image. Obviously, it went bad in many ways for Capone, but that's the image he was going for.

• But this is the point I want to make: When you talk about steroids and
  you talk about what it means to the game, the three greatest home run
  hitters of all time-Hank Aaron, Babe Ruth and Willie Mays, right? When
  they were 39 years old, how many home runs do you think they averaged?
  The three greatest home run hitters of all time averaged 18 home runs
  at age 39. Now, how many home runs did Barry Bonds hit when he was 39?
  He hit 73!
