It's always been family first for me. No matter how well my career goes, nobody here will ask anything of me. I'm just another Dunn to them.

I'm a realist. And realists don't fool themselves.

Hey, I'm serious here? Why do you have to ask me how many hits I have?

Cincinnati needs to take notes from Houston. Houston fans are among the top five fans in the game.

Cincinnati is perfect for me. I've met a lot of good people there who like to fish.

I'm a small-town guy, and moving to a huge city might be an adjustment.

At Texas, I was a football player playing baseball. And the way I play I think I still am.

In my opinion I really haven't done anything yet. I still have a lot to prove. I just want to prove to myself that I can play at the highest level of baseball in the world every day.

So perfect — I’m right where I need to be!

I have fun. I always have fun. I don't really get in a hurry about anything. I just try to go with the flow and have fun, and that's how I try to play baseball.

When we fail to harmonize and integrate, living systems, from individuals to families and countries, tend to move toward either chaos or rigidity.

To grasp the full significance of life is the actor's duty to interpret it his problem and to express it his dedication.

Of a life of luxury the fruit is luxury, whether in agriculture, or commerce, or literature, or art.

All my Calvaries were rosy crucifixions, pseudo-tragedies to keep the fires of hell burning brightly for the real sinners who are in danger of being forgotten.

Inspiration gives you a desire. Decision makes it an intention. Action makes it real.

What we need is not more learning, not more eloquence, not more persuasion, not more organization, but more power from the Holy Spirit.

Defense is one man guarding the ball and four others helping him

I depend a lot on my own judgment, for better or worse.

Never feel dumb. Not knowing who or what is no sin. Ignorance is simply the measure of what you haven't got to yet. I find writers and works every day that I haven't got to, haven't even heard of.
