All I can tell them is pick a good one and sock it. I get back to the dugout and they ask me what it was I hit and I tell them I don't know except it looked good.

Don't ever forget two things I'm going to tell you. One, don't believe everything that's written about you. Two, don't pick up too many checks.

You just can't beat the person who never gives up.

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.

Yesterday's home runs don't win today's games.

If it wasn't for baseball, I'd be in either the penitentiary or the cemetery.

I learned early to drink beer, wine and whiskey. And I think I was about 5 when I first chewed tobacco.

Gee, its lonesome in the outfield. It's hard to keep awake with nothing to do.

If I'd just tried for them dinky singles I could've batted around .600.

Baseball changes through the years. It gets milder.

I didn't mean to hit the umpire with the dirt, but I did mean to hit that bastard in the stands.

I won't be happy until we have every boy in America between the ages of six and sixteen wearing a glove and swinging a bat.

Cobb is a prick. But he sure can hit. God Almighty, that man can hit.

I'll promise to go easier on drinking and to get to bed earlier, but not for you, fifty thousand dollars, or two-hundred and fifty thousand dollars will I give up women. They're too much fun.

I had only one superstition. I made sure to touch all the bases when I hit a home run.

All ballplayers should quit when it starts to feel as if all the baselines run uphill.

As soon as I got out there I felt a strange relationship with the pitcher's mound. It was as if I'd been born out there. Pitching just felt like the most natural thing in the world. Striking out batters was easy.

Baseball was, is and always will be to me the best game in the world.

Every strike brings me closer to the next home run.

Don't let the fear of striking out hold you back.

Paris ain't much of a town.

Let me show you how it's done... Loser!

How about a little noise. How do you expect a man to putt?

Who is richer? The man who is seen, but cannot see? Or the man who is not being seen, but can see?

The way a team plays as a whole determines its success. You may have the greatest bunch of individual stars in the world, but if they don't play together, the club won't be worth a dime.

Never let the fear of striking out get in your way.

Yesterday’s home runs don’t win today’s games.

Never let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game.

I had just been in some repressive situations - the black middle-class college scene and the crazy United States Air Force - and so I just felt like getting out of that. I thought, now, that I wanted to be a writer. I had something that I wanted to do, that I was interested in doing, so I wanted to pursue that.

When you go through life, when you go through different things, you take risks, you question yourself. I think everybody does, at some point in their life, question themselves.

I described the CEO job as knowing what to do and getting the company to do what you want. Designing a proper company culture will help you get your company to do what you want in certain important areas for a very long time.

No matter what, you've got to always follow your passion in life and always keep learning.

The same things go on everywhere, whether you're from the city, the country or wherever.

The reality is that Islam is facing a phenomenal rise with regards to fundamentalism. It cannot control it, but what is sure is that neither can European states control and monitor the development of fundamentalist networks in their own territory.

What I have said to my team is that at a point such as this, with 40% adjustment in our currency, it means that Malawians are paying the price. While that is going on, they need to see, us, the commitment on our part, particularly right at the top. The political will needs to go through this with the people, side by side.

When I discovered Gil Scott-Heron, I discovered a musical hero, a man who spoke baritone truth to power over jazzy funk at a time when funky music was primarily about shake, shake, shaking your booty.

Shes like an earthquake in tiny human form breaking apart anything and everything in her way.

What a lot of people don't realise is that damage to hair starts from washing your hair in a rush and not taking all the product out such as leave-in conditioners. So I always make sure that I cleanse my hair properly and get the shampoo and conditioner completely out.

I think that reality exists and that it's knowable.

Whatever women do, they must do twice as well as men to be thought half as good. Luckily, this is not difficult.
