We focus on what we do right, we learn from what we did wrong, we move onto the next day that's what prepares us, that's what makes us strong?

We won't let history define our future. Our actions will do the talking. Our determination will turn doubters into believers.

In order to be better, you should expect to be better.

Life doesn't always go the way you planned it to go. Sometimes you have detours you have to take.

I don't really look at myself as a power hitter. I look at myself as someone who drives the ball to the gaps, hits line drives.

Honestly, I don't think I'm doing anything any different right now. You swing, and the ball finds a hole. That's it. That's the game of baseball.

In a high school, the norms act to hold down the achievements of those who are above average, so that the school's demands will be at a level easily maintained by the majority.

I don't wish to brag, but I'm very intelligent.

Freedom cannot be granted. It must be taken.

It does not happen all at once. There is no instant pudding.
