Ralph (Houk) brought out the best in everybody, and that included me. I consider myself lucky to have played for him.

It's unbelievable how much you don't know about the game you've been playing all your life.

A team is where a boy can prove his courage on his own. A gang is where a coward goes to hide.

Somebody once asked me if I ever went up to the plate trying to hit a home run. I said, 'Sure, every time.'

A lawyer I once knew told me of a strange case, a suffragette who had never married. After her death, he opened her trunk and discovered 50 wedding gowns.

If we say that God has always been, why not save a step and conclude that the universe has always been?

If my whole game depends on whether you can guess the ending or not, I'm done, forget it.

If the provisions of the Constitution be not upheld when they pinch as well as when they comfort, they may as well be abandoned.
