At my age, I'm just happy to be named the greatest living anything.

You always get a special kick on opening day, no matter how many you go through. You look forward to it like a birthday party when you're a kid. You think something wonderful is going to happen.

A person always doing his or her best becomes a natural leader, just by example.

I played my best everyday. You never know when someone may be seeing you play for the first time.

There is always some kid who may be seeing me for the first time. I owe him my best.

The reason I play so hard is that somewhere out there is some kid who has never seen me play before, and I don't want to disappoint him.

You ought to run the hardest when you feel the worst. Never let the other guy know you're down.

If anyone wants to know why three kids in one family made it to the big leagues they just had to know how we helped each other and how much we practiced back then. We did it every minute we could.

The test of an outfielder's skill comes when he has to go against the fence to make a catch.

A ball player has to be kept hungry to become a big leaguer. That's why no boy from a rich family has ever made the big leagues.

I always thought there was at least one person in the stands who had never seen me play, and I didn't want to let him down.

The best way to be loved, is to love yourself.

This is my fault. Give me the ball.

I'm not a fan of Donald Trump. To be perfectly honest, I don't think violence is the answer to anything and I think, hopefully, she [Hillary Clinton] will be our president.

It is the immigrant hordes who keep this country alive, the waves of them arriving year after year.... Who believes in America more than the people who run down the gangplank and kiss the ground?

The Lord did strengthen them that they could bear up their burdens with ease, and they did submit cheerfully and with patience to all the will of the Lord.

Happiness is in its highest degree the sister of goodness.

If your personality is negative, it means that you do not have the confidence in God and in yourself that is your birthright.

I have always questioned everything: education, the obligation to memorize, authority. Perhaps that is why I have photographed everything.

I don't tend to lie. If I do, it's a little one. Like, 'I'm only around the corner...' when really I'm 10 minutes away.

I consider myself more a craftsman than an artist.
