Reading isn't good for a ballplayer. Not good for his eyes. If my eyes went bad even a little bit I couldn't hit home runs. So I gave up reading.

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.

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.

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

I'm a really friendly guy, I guess, and I really like meeting people.

I'm not a military man. I wish I were, then maybe I could give some advice.

Words are for explaining the mistakes we might have made, names are for calling when there is nothing left to say.

I feel trapped if I know I can't kill myself at anytime

What shall we do with...the Jews?...I advise that all their prayer books and Talmudic writings...are to be taken from them.

As long as my opponent has not yet castled, on each move I seek a pretext for an offensive. Even when I realize that the king is not in danger.
