Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds. Albert Einstein
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.

Thomas Jefferson
