"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." –
Thomas Jefferson, letter to Peter Carr, 1785
