Thank God for baseball.

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.'

I leaned on him for support when I got out of the cab, and he just crumpled to the ground. That's how we found out.

After I hit a home run I had a habit of running the bases with my head down. I figured the pitcher already felt bad enough without me showing him up rounding the bases.

If I had played my career hitting singles like Pete (Rose), I'd wear a dress.

I thought I raised a ballplayer. You're nothing but a coward and a quitter.

You never have to wait long, or look far, to be reminded of how thin the line is between being a hero or a goat.

Well, baseball was my whole life. Nothing's ever been as fun as baseball.

I've often wondered how a man who knew he was going to die could stand here and say he was the luckiest man on the face of the earth, but now I guess I know how he felt.

Imagination paints a charming view of the future, conveniently adapted to the demands of our current emotion.

In order to go on living one must try to escape the death involved in perfectionism.

All the maxims have been written. It only remains to put them into practice.

I just had the sense that at least the books that I had read about law just didn't really have enough of that.

I've never come into anything successful before. I've always been hired by horrible radio stations with horrendous reputations and nothing to lose.

I'm just being myself. To me, that people are interested in Jenni, not necessarily the artist, but the woman it amazes me still.

I must complain the cards are ill shuffled till I have a good hand.

I'm not here to make money, I'm here to make history.

Reading is also a journey. It's a process of discovery.

There's no such thing as losing touch. You can take me out of the ghetto, but you can't take the ghetto out of me.
