One of the fellows called me 'Cyclone' but finally shortened it to 'Cy' and its been that ever since.

I thought I had to show all my stuff and I almost tore the boards of the grandstand with my fastball.

Too many pitchers, that's all, there are just too many pitchers Ten or twelve on a team. Don't see how any of them get enough work. Four starting pitchers and one relief man ought to be enough. Pitch 'em every three days and you'd find they'd get control and good, strong arms.

All us Youngs could throw. I used to kill squirrels with a stone when I was a kid, and my granddad once killed a turkey buzzard on the fly with a rock.

A pitcher's got to be good and he's got to be lucky to get a no hit game.

Gosh, all a kid has to do these days is spit straight and he gets forty-thousand dollars to sign.

When you do bad things, bad things happen to you.

Failed plans should not be interpreted as a failed vision. Visions don't change, they are only refined. Plans rarely stay the same, and are scrapped or adjusted as needed. Be stubborn about the vision, but flexible with your plan.

I want to be on the screen, I want to play dress up every day, I want be different people, I want to have fun, and I want to use my imagination.

Non-violence is not a garment to be put on and off at will. Its seat is in the heart, and it must be an inseparable part of our being.

Human language is lit with animal life: we play cats-cradle or have hare-brained ideas; we speak of badgering; or outfoxing someone; to squirrel something away and to ferret it out.

Well, for me, what I've learned at the very end of this, love is sharing, and I think that really is, for me, the best place to go to experience love, is sharing.

It doesn't matter what country or what political system you are from. Space brings you together.

The amount of eccentricity in a society has generally been proportional to the amount of genius, mental vigor, and moral courage it contained. That so few now dare to be eccentric marks the chief danger of the time.

The simplest and cheapest of all reforms within institutional science is to switch from the passive to the active voice in writing about science.

I don't really like the gym. I like to fool my body. I run around the beach and then there's scaffolding so I can just do different pulls-ups there.

Ray Lewis, I've grown up watching Ray Lewis. Just watching his intensity, his passion for the game, his love for the game, his work ethic. Everything in a linebacker that you want to be is in Ray Lewis, from leadership qualities, all that.

Broadly speaking, the short words are the best, and the old words best of all.

So you're quite right that when... as the Cold War grew and expanded out of Europe, we ourselves had to take refuge behind the shield of the Monroe Doctrine.

A bad historian is even more dangerous than dead documentary wood.

Whatever else may divide us Europe is our common home a common fate has linked us through the centuries and it continues to link us today.

Continuous eloquence wearies. Grandeur must be abandoned to be appreciated. Continuity in everything is unpleasant. Cold is agreeable, that we may get warm.

Brevity is a great charm of eloquence.

Having a stage name is like having a Superman complex. I go into the telephone booth as Eric Bishop and come out as Jamie Foxx.

We take each week as it comes; we're juggling just like everybody else. It's all about spinning plates.

I did what my conscience told me to do, and you can't fail if you do that.

I passed up a lot of work 'cause a lot of movies that may be out there right now I passed em up because there may have been a lot of cussin' in 'em.

I do know that I like to play characters that are sometimes a little on the outside - that's because it feels kind of romantic and sexier to me. I really think they are the people that we learn lessons from.

I never get sick on airplanes, which is incredible. You're basically in a flying petri dish.

If I have got to be a soldier, I must be a good one, anything else is unthinkable.
