I wasn't out drinking and abusing my body. I simply loved to go out and dance.

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

I was bred as an outcast, part Negro and part Seminole, in my early years raised as an Indian.

I've always been a slave to my heart.

To be successful, one must take chances.

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

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.

Throwing a knuckleball for a strike is like throwing a butterfly with hiccups across the street into your neighbor's mailbox.

Helping someone is what life is all about.

You only have a few years to play this game and you can't play it if you're all tied up in knots.

Mediate on the word of God day and night, then be careful to write the sacred words on your heart. And find grace to obey it.

I used to give advice, and no one wanted it. Now I give suggestions and everyone asks for more.

My life's work is to create tools to empower and elevate life on the planet. To create global change, one heart at a time.

The fog eventually clears itself.

Russia also declared its independence. This was approved by the Supreme Soviet, and you know and remember that there was the Declaration on the Independence of Russia.

I thought I made a little movie. All the mail that I get is about how it changed lives and that’s wonderful.

To place yourself under an obligation is to sell your liberty.

I'd like to thank the Academy for my lifetime achievement award that I will eventually get.

I want a red to be sonorous, to sound like a bell. If it doesn't turn out that way, I add more reds and other colors until I get it.

But all the love in the world won't save a sinking ship. You have to either bail or jump overboard.
