they may never fully regain their physical capabilities. Which is the
greater healing? Which is the better recovery? If I had the option of
choosing between a mediocre life with eyesight or the life I have today,
even though I am blind, I?d stay blind and keep the life I have." | |

| "To Peter Carr, 1785: A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the
species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise
to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise and independence to the mind.
Games played with the ball, and others of that nature, are too violent for
the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be your
constant companion of your walks." | |
