Building a baseball team is like building a house. You look for the best architects, the best builders - and then you let them do their jobs.

Baseball is about talent, hard work, and strategy. But at the deepest level, it's about love, integrity, and respect.

Texting is a lot like an answering machine. If you don't want to talk to somebody, it's like screening your calls. To me, it's a way of communication, but not one that I favor.

My label in Toronto was Stand Pat and I think that was a fair assessment. I tried to be patient, but if a trade came along - big or small - that I thought should be made, I would make it.

No matter how much technology changes scouting, no matter how much free agency and big TV contracts change the business of baseball, I hope and pray that the heart of the game will never change.

Maybe a person's world can grow bigger in all the right ways, not too wide that it becomes shallow, just large enough to preserve its depth.

I could say that making clothes is my way of communicating, because I was always so shy.

I've come to believe that beauty can be a very powerful conveyor of difficult ideas.

We share half our genes with the banana.

Wonders are many, and none is more wonderful than man; the power that crosses the white sea, driven by the stormy wind, making a path under surges that threaten to engulf him.

We learn through experience and experiencing, and no one teaches anyone anything.

To be in Christ -that is redemption; but for Christ to be in you-that is sanctification.
