Never allow the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game!

It's hard to beat a person who never gives up.

You just can't beat the person who never gives up.

Every strike brings me closer to the next home run.

The way a team plays as a whole determines its success. You may have the greatest bunch of individual stars in the world, but if they don't play together, the club won't be worth a dime.

Don't let the fear of striking out hold you back.

Baseball was, is and always will be to me the best game in the world.

I had only one superstition. I made sure to touch all the bases when I hit a home run.

I swing big, with everything I've got. I hit big or I miss big. I like to live as big as I can.

Heroes get remembered, but legends never die.

Don't be afraid to take advice. There's always something new to learn.

The soul was the first temple

Someday the sun is going to shine down on me in some faraway place.

Growing up, I didn't have a lot of toys, and personal entertainment depended on individual ingenuity and imagination - think up a story and go live it for an afternoon.

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

Creeds, like other goods, pass by inheritance to descendants.

If you're eating or drinking something made from cow's milk, it's because a calf chained in a box somewhere isn't.

Black culture has been a huge influence in my life.

My vision is to elevate the consciousness of humanity one mind, one heart, one life, one spirit at a time. They are married.

If we dedicate ourselves over and over again to the goal of climbing one peak to the next...resisting the urge to become discouraged by the task-every one of us can become a high achiever.

Rock 'n' roll is a participatory sport. It ain't passive. It ain't TV. Go out there and rock 'n' roll and dance and have fun.
