My name is not 'The Best Player in Baseball.' My name is George Kenneth Griffey, Jr.

Why should I stretch? Does a cheetah stretch before it chases its prey?

You lose, you smile, and you come back the next day. You win, you smile, you come back the next day.

To succeed in baseball, as in life, you must make adjustments.

As long as I have fun playing, the stats will take care of themselves.

My dad (Ken Griffey) would have bopped me on the head when I was a kid if I came home bragging about what I did on the field. He only wanted to know what the team did.

The other guys, all they have to do is use their big butts and big python arms to hit homers. Me, I'm the little guy in the group. People always root for the little guy.

I knew unless I got stopped I was going to go all the way. I don't know if I can run any faster. I just ran as fast as I could.

Its a game, and that’s how I am going to treat it.

If I'm compared to Babe Ruth or Willie Mays, that's great. But I'm just going to go out there and be myself.

It is easy to perform a good action, but not easy to acquire a settled habit of performing such actions.

The only good thing I can say about the deal with Iran is that it brought the Arab states and Israel closer together.

The relentless attempts to be thin take you further and further away from what could actually end your suffering: getting back in touch with who you really are. Your true nature. Your essence.

When I paint figures it's never the idea of painting the beauty of the figure, it is using the figure to get across how I feel.

I read all the time so it's difficult to say who my all-time favourites are. One is George Orwell, because he makes political writing so simple a child could understand it.

The stability we cannot find in the world, we must create within our own persons.

The thinnest tendrils of dawn are creeping in from the east. People in New York are softly starting to tweet.

He who has loved and who betrays love does harm not only to the image of the past, but to the past itself.

Understand the "Pygmalion Effect": Leaders should always expect the very best of those around them. They know that people can change and grow.
