I really do try hard to be a good teammate. I can't run very fast, but I try to always run hard. I may strike out a lot, but I try to walk to set up the guys who are hitting after me.

The strongest thing I put into my body is steak and eggs. I just eat. I'm not a supplement guy. Steroids are not even a thought.

My dad told me when I went into high school, 'It's not what you do when you walk in the door that matters. It's what you do when you walk out.' That's when you've made a lasting impression.

Is my ability what it was at, say, 25 or 30 years old? Probably not, but I like to compete. I like to go out and play the game hard.

You can't play forever.

I've always enjoyed interleague play. It gives you a chance to see different clubs, to go to different places. It gives you a good chance to see where you are, where you stand with other teams.

Charisma's good every night. Something special is always about to happen. You've got to believe it.

I don't really like filling my brain with a lot of stuff.

There's an inner feeling you get when you get in a situation to do well in a game. It's hard to explain.

I sign every autograph I can for kids because I remember myself at that age. I think it's ridiculous that some guys won't sign for a kid.

We all make mistakes and sometimes you say things and you really don't realize what you're saying at that moment.

My faith is a tool I employ, a metaphorical context I find apt, but it is inert until placed in a hand that needs it.

The exercise of prayer in those who habitually exert it must be regarded by us doctors as the most adequate and normal of all the pacifiers of the mind and calmers of the nerves.

Because everyone is the same distance from the sun. Does it really lessen the distance if you live on top of a skyscraper?

It is the energy projected by an individual's own mind which creates his experience.

Longing not so much to change things as to overturn them.

A piece of art is never a finished work. It answers a question which has been asked, and asks a new question.

They lose nothing who gain Christ.

I also understood that God's love shows itself just as well in the simplest soul which puts up no resistance to His grace as it does in the loftiest soul.

Alas, that love, so gentle in his view, Should be so tyrannous and rough in proof! *It’s sad. Love looks like a nice thing, but it’s actually very rough when you experience it.*

I'm not playing with death, I'm playing with life.
