I've refined my mechanics, refined my pitches. I've gotten more confidence, and I've gotten more determination. I've got a better idea what I'm doing out there.

Work hard. And have patience. Because no matter who you are, you're going to get hurt in your career and you have to be patient to get through the injuries.

The educational resources provided by a child's fellow students are more important for his achievement than are the resources provided by the school board.

To the person with a firm purpose all men and things are servants.

When you look at it that way, you can see how absurd it is that we individualize ourselves with our fences and hoarded possessions.

Be reverent before the dawning day. Do not think of what will be in a year, or in ten years. Think of to-day.
