I don't want the natural athlete -- I want a guy who'll go after the hard ones.

The true harbinger of spring is not crocuses or swallows returning to Capistrano, but the sound of the bat on the ball.

There are only two seasons - winter and Baseball.

Baseball is almost the only orderly thing in a very unorderly world. If you get three strikes, even the best lawyer in the world can't get you off.

I try not to break the rules, but merely to test their elasticity.

If there is any justice in this world, to be a White Sox fan frees a man from any other form of penance.

Tradition is the albatross around the neck of progress.

The most beautiful thing in the world is a ballpark filled with people.

I have discovered in 20 years of moving around a ballpark, that the knowledge of the game is usually in inverse proportion to the price of the seats.

I was in the game for love. After all, where else can an old-timer with one leg, who can't hear or see, live like a king while doing the only thing I wanted to do?

I'm for the dreamers. The only really important things in history have been started by the dreamers. They never know what can't be done.

Fundamental rule in your life, is to know what your deserve in life and getting what you deserve. That's winning always.

You cannot avoid what you fear because what you fear is inside of you.

The Democratic Party looks at massive immigration, legal and illegal, as a source of voters.

Man is a rational animal. He can think up a reason for anything he wants to believe.

Dear Child of God, I am sorry to say that suffering is not optional.

I quit school and it's not because I'm lazy. I'm just not the social type and campus life is crazy.

Pity that consequences are determined not by excuses but by actions!

American history contains much matter for pride and congratulation, and much matter for regret and humiliation.

You can't let the past ruin your future.

Youth is not enough. And love is not enough. And success is not enough. And, if we could achieve it, enough would not be enough.
