Go into it baldheaded.

Additional quotes by James Russell Lowell

Two meanings have our lightest fantasies,
One of the flesh, and of the spirit one.

The child is not mine as the first was,
I cannot sing it to rest,
I cannot lift it up fatherly
And bliss it upon my breast;
Yet it lies in my little one's cradle
And sits in my little one's chair,
And the light of the heaven she's gone to
Transfigures its golden hair.

Though old the thought and oft exprest,
'Tis his at last who says it best.

It ain't by princerples nor men My preudunt course is steadied— I scent wich pays the best, an' then Go into it baldheaded. - James Russell Lowell
