I've been treated there (Camden Yards in Baltimore) just like everywhere else: you got everyone booing for you. I take that as a compliment.

I mean, people think I'm too intense for baseball. I've always excelled to be the best, no matter what, but it's like people think something is wrong with that.

I know the Chicago media will write a lot of bad things, but they'll write a lot of good things too. I can live with that. In Cleveland, all I got was negative press.

While in the clinic, I discovered I had problems with concentration, motivation, attitude, and temper. I have found a new way of life through the clinic's program and a 12-step recovery plan.

Going to a new team is like going to a new high school. Nobody knows you. It's a chance to rebuild your image.

It's going to be tough (winning the MVP Award). I'm not really considered a media darling.

When you talk about locker room betting, we bet on everything... It's no different than anyone else's office pool. Money changes hands in the locker room; it's whatever you want.

People don't need to know what Albert Belle is thinking. I've learned from my mistakes in the past, and that's what's made me a better person.

Back in 1987 when they drafted me. The Indians were the only team interested in taking a chance on Albert Belle, and I made the most of it. Hopefully, they got as much from me as I got from them.

I look back over my career and I almost pissed it away. I got a second chance and I've made the most of my opportunity. I play every game like it's the last game of my career.

I have high expectations for myself. I'm not out there playing the game just to be playing it. I want to win a championship.

You are everything I have in this world Gracie

The world is full of talkers, but it is rare to find anyone who listens. And I assure you that you can pick up more information when you are listening than when you are talking.

I am sufficiently proud of my knowing something to be modest about my not knowing all.

But the sons of this world have not God; they have only each other, and they walk holding to each other and looking to one another for assurance like frightened children.

This-the immediate, everyday, and present experience-is IT, the entire and ultimate point for the existence of a universe.

We criticize a thinker more acutely when he advances a proposition that is disagreeable to us; and yet it would be more reasonableto do so when his proposition is agreeable to us.

We finally are where we need to be. We have a strategy and a commitment to go after ISIS.

Well, you know... experience is a muffled lantern that throws light only on the bearer...it's incommunicable.

The only peace is being out of earshot.

The church is the last place we want to be sold another product, the last place we want to be entertained.
