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

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.

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.

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.

Art teaches nothing, except the significance of life.

The present contains nothing more than the past, and what is found in the effect was already in the cause.

There are those, I know, who will reply that the liberation of humanity, the freedom of man and mind, is nothing but a dream. They are right. It is. It is the American Dream.

Well, after I had the heart attack, it was a very simple choice. What the doctor told me I did and I did it religiously. I ate nothing but lean turkey breast or chicken breast or a piece of fish that was very lean. I mean I stayed away from everything.

My life is so full of surprises, nothing surprises me any more.

Excuses change nothing, but make everyone feel better.

It is the privilege of the gods to want nothing, and of godlike men to want little.

They haul you up there for, you know, week after week in this kind of star chamber proceeding. Then at the end of it they say, well, we found nothing, but now it's time for special counsel.

Why are there beings at all, instead of Nothing?

Always, your work is the same: You have to tell a story, you have to make a character. It doesn't matter if there are thousands of dollars, millions behind it, or if there is nothing.

There's nothing worse than talking about yourself to find out that you're not that interesting.
