I wanted to throw my glass at the TV.

It's unbelievable how much you don't know about the game you've been playing all your life.

A team is where a boy can prove his courage on his own. A gang is where a coward goes to hide.

Somebody once asked me if I ever went up to the plate trying to hit a home run. I said, 'Sure, every time.'

I leaned on him for support when I got out of the cab, and he just crumpled to the ground. That's how we found out.

After I hit a home run I had a habit of running the bases with my head down. I figured the pitcher already felt bad enough without me showing him up rounding the bases.

If I had played my career hitting singles like Pete (Rose), I'd wear a dress.

I thought I raised a ballplayer. You're nothing but a coward and a quitter.

You never have to wait long, or look far, to be reminded of how thin the line is between being a hero or a goat.

Well, baseball was my whole life. Nothing's ever been as fun as baseball.

I've often wondered how a man who knew he was going to die could stand here and say he was the luckiest man on the face of the earth, but now I guess I know how he felt.

Swearing is a currency the countryside spends well.

Children can create fun out of nothing and when this great talent is lost you become a boring creature which is called adult!

What you learn is your personal treasure. No one can take it away from you.

It takes both sides to build a bridge.

I think humans are only capable of small moments of honesty. Then they get tired and back away. It's something to foster, this ability to keep it for longer. How to keep being honest and aware.

There's only one effectively redemptive sacrifice, the sacrifice of self-will to make room for the knowledge of God.

Philanthropy is fun and fulfilling.

I'm very uncomfortable in my own skin.

Even prostitutes, alcoholics, embezzlers - I won't rehearse the whole catalogue - need health insurance.
