Quotations About / On: GOLF

    My attitude toward punctuation is that it ought to be as conventional as possible. The game of golf would lose a good deal if croquet mallets and billiard cues were allowed on the putting green. You ought to be able to show that you can do it a good deal better than anyone else with the regular tools before you have a license to bring in your own improvements.
    (Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961), U.S. author. Letter, May 15, 1925. Selected Letters, ed. Carlos Baker (1981).)

    Goodbye, boys; I'm under arrest. I may have to go to jail. I may not see you for a long time. Keep up the fight! Don't surrender! Pay no attention to the injunction machine at Parkersburg. The Federal judge is a scab anyhow. While you starve he plays golf. While you serve humanity, he serves injunctions for the money powers.
    (Mother Jones (1830-1930), U.S. labor organizer. The Autobiography of Mother Jones, ch. 7 (1925). Addressing a June 1902 meeting of miners in Clarksburg, West Virginia, after just having been placed under arrest by a United States Marshal. An injunction had been obtained to prevent her from speaking.)
