You can't listen to what people say about you. If you do, you're never going to get anywhere in life.

You've got to set high standards for yourself.

I've heard about my size all my life. It makes you work that much harder. It's gratifying to prove them wrong.

When you're getting $2,000 a month in the minors, it's hard not to eat Taco Bell every day.

I've had to work for everything I have, and I'm not going to stop. The minute I feel I've made it, I'm done.

I don't think there's any way you can worry about how many errors or how many bad plays you've made. You can get into a fielding funk just as quick as you can hitting.

All I know is that when I come to the ballpark I'm going to be on time and give 100 percent. I know that I have to do that to keep my job.

What's there to be nervous about? You just go out and play the game.

I've seen plenty of ballplayers way better than me, but they didn't have the work ethic. It comes down to how bad you want it.

Pressure is only what you make of it and what you put on yourself.

I like to have fun, and the only way to have fun is to win.

Every spark returns to darkness. Every sound returns to silence. Every flower returns to sleep with the earth. The journey of the sun and moon is predictable. But yours, is your ultimateart.

In times of need, you will know the souls who love you.

This heart, it's broke, it's totally broken. Entah kenapa pertahanan diriku akhirnya runtuh. It hurts so much and finally it tears me down.

If you look at our records, I stood up to corporate America time and time again. I went to Mexico. I saw the lives of people who were working in American factories and making $0.25 an hour.

I meet people overseas that know five languages - that the only language I'm comfortable in is English.

Long ago, among other lies they were taught that silence was bravery.

Thin people are beautiful, but fat people are adorable.

He who bridles the fury of the billows knows also to put a stop to the secret plans of the wicked. Submitting with respect to His holy will, I fear God, and have no other fear.

Death. An instantaneous state, without past or future. Indispensable for entering eternity.

I'm happy to say I am a Harrison-Kreps-Keynesian.
