I eventually became proud of my strikeouts, because each one represented another learning experience.

Oakland revolved around Forbes Field. Nothing in the city could match that atmosphere.

To be successful, one must take chances.

When they start the game, they don't yell, "Work ball." They say, "Play ball."

They give you a round bat and they throw you a round ball. And they tell you to hit it square.

Success is the process of not accepting failure.

I just love to skate. When I put a skate on the ice, I'm free from the world, and I have no problems at all. I am a bird!

The ministry and mission of the church is at the center of Christian giving.

The most important people at Liverpool Football Club are the people who want to be here.

I love 'Mad Men' & 'Nip Tuck.'
