"As to the species of exercise, I advise the gun. While this gives
[only] 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 the constant companion to your
walks."
        -- Thomas Jefferson, writing to his teenaged nephew.
