Just because somebody swings one way and I swing another way doesn't mean he's better than me or I'm better than him ... Does my swing get hits? Yes.

I just show up to the yard, work hard, and play as hard as I can.

People always ask me if I wish I were bigger. I tell them no. I always wanted to be a miniature badass.

I'm going to go out there and be who I am, and if you don't like it, then watch somebody else.

Next year I want to be better than this season, and the year after that, better than the year before.

I don' really care what people think. I don't really have to prove anything to anybody. I just have to prove stuff to my teammates.

I put the blinders on and just work as hard as I can, and hopefully I'll just continue to be a better player.

I just try to see the ball and hit it. If I get a hit, I get a hit. If I get out, I get out. There's no secret about it.

I don't like losing at anything. Why should I?

I go out and break my leg next year and can't play ever again, I got 40 million dollars. Nothing's guaranteed in this world, except that 40 million dollars.

I hang in there all the time. I'm not afraid to be taken out. I think that's the biggest thing to do-just stay in there on the double play.

A good conscience is eight parts of courage.

The sharpest tools in the box are not always the best tools for the job.

Here in New York City, it's cold. It's so cold the Republicans want to use the Keystone Pipeline to deliver soup.

The marathon is an art; the marathoner is an artist.

Quit playing, start praying. Quit feasting, start fasting. Talk less with men, talk more with God. Listen less to men, listen to the words of God. Skip travel, start travail.

Just Enough Soil for legs Axe for hands Flower for eyes Bird for ears Mushrooms for nose Smile for mouth Songs for lungs Sweat for skin Wind for mind.

My true glory is not to have won 40 battles ... Waterloo will erase the memory of so many victories, ... But ... what will live forever, is my Civil Code.

I'm not a very good communicator, so maybe that's why I write about talking.

It was not a life, if lived without love.
