He's not very fast, but maybe Elizabeth Taylor can't sing.

The only thing that would change would be the year, the names. It just got to be a repetitious life.

I didn't want to stay until I had used up all the enjoyment because that's too long to stay anywhere.

I move around and play different golf courses. I just enjoy it.

I had hoped God would be neutral.

Don't matter what they throw at us. Only angry people win football games.

I used to care more about the score than I do now.

I don't count on the boy who waits till October, when it's cool and fun, then decides he wants to play.

I know that the odds are against a marriage lasting 60 years.

Breaks balance out. The sun don't shine on the same ol' dog's rear end every day.

I have found that the players who have played in that game really do have respect for their adversaries.

I've enjoyed my retirement.

It will take a long time, and certainly the West will remain the dominant civilization well into the next century, but the decline is occurring.

Given a fair wind, we will negotiate our way into the Common Market, head held high, not crawling in. Negotiations? Yes. Unconditional acceptance of whatever terms are offered us? No.

I think I've become a much better singer and a much better player. Years and years of playing a couple of hours every day will do that.
