Charlton Ogburn quotes
-
“...for those whose favorite season is autumn with its days of cloudless sky, of spacious and clear, far-flung panoramas - those who view nature with detachment, for whom nature's appeal is primarily pictorial, classicists as opposed to romanticists, perhaps. On such a day, one is usually excited, physically exhilarated, mentally stimulated. Only not much is left for the imagination.”
-- Charlton Ogburn -
“Happiness to a dog is what lies on the other side of the door.”

“We trained hard ... but it seemed that every time we were beginning to form up into teams we would be reorganized.

-- Charlton OgburnSource : "Merrill's Marauders: The truth about an incredible adventure" by Charlton Ogburn, harpers.org. January 1957.
