Men will read all sorts of things into a knowing smile if yo

Summary

This quote suggests that men tend to interpret and find meaning in even the simplest of gestures, particularly a knowing smile from a person. It implies that men often project their own thoughts, desires, or assumptions onto actions or expressions, potentially leading to misinterpretation or overanalysis.

Of America it would ill beseem any Englishman, and me perhap

Of America it would ill beseem any Englishman, and me perhaps as little as another, to speak unkindly, to speak unpatriotically, if any of us even felt so. Sure enough, America is a great, and in many respects a blessed and hopeful phenomenon. Sure enough, these hardy millions of Anglosaxon men prove themselves worthy of their genealogy. But as to a Model Republic, or a model anything, the wise among themselves know too well that there is nothing to be said. Their Constitution, such as it may be, was made here, not there. Cease to brag to me of America, and its model institutions and constitutions.

I have seen boys on my baseball team go into slumps and never come out of them, and I have seen others snap right out and come back better than ever. I guess more players lick themselves than are ever licked by an opposing team. The first thing any man has to know is how to handle himself. Training counts. You can't win any game unless you are ready to win.
