You win as a team, you lose as a team, you also do so many things together.

Baseball is a team game.

When I signed a contract, I was here to play 162 games.

I'm proud to be here as a man that has played first base more than anybody in the game of baseball.

Today I join the greatest players that played the game. It is a great feeling being here.

No one was more important than my mom and dad. I know they are watching from a place up in heaven here today to make sure all their kids are doing good.

You win as a team, you lose as a team, you also do so many things together.

And like I said, I appreciate my older brothers because they would not allow me to win. They made me learn to play with them, which I think is the most important thing that I learned.

It makes you feel at home when you can talk to somebody and really talk about anything.

I learned life from some good teachers.

And, you know, you try and preach to them there's more to this game than just walking up to home plate, swinging the bat, fielding a ground ball. There's some dedication in it, some love you've got to put into this work.

And I tell you that's one of the reasons why I didn't have the friendships with the media, maybe like I could have. But I had to do what I had to do to make myself successful.

I'm now the hitting the instructor with the Cleveland Indians.

For me, baseball is about, again, the team winning.

When Ted Williams was here, inducted into the Hall of Fame 37 years ago, he said he must have earned it, because he didn't win it because of his friendship with the writers. I guess in that way, I'm proud to be in this company that way.

I don't wish I did anything differently. The most important thing to me was to play baseball.

Before borrowing money from a friend it's best to decide which you need most.

We do not kill the drama, we do not really limit its appeal by failing to encourage the best in it; but we do thereby foster the weakest and poorest elements.

My hair is a wild, untamable beast! I like letting it grow; my bangs grow whatever way they want and I kind of follow their rule. So side bangs, poof bangs - it's kind of unpredictable.

When you're in the position I'm in, you have two options: you can either shut yourself off from everybody, from the world, and not live a full life. Or you welcome everybody into your life and occasionally somebody will try to take advantage. And I'd much rather be that person who lets people in.

My ears sort of turn off when someone tells me that what my heart is saying isn't a good idea.

What we should be doing is saving habitats, not single species, no matter what their cuteness factor.

In order to write novels for a living - it's not pathological, but I do think and worry and brood and fidget about stuff that I'm working on.

Live your own life for you will surely die your own death.

Films are not the sole area in my life. Films are a passion. But it's not like I'll die if I don't get another movie. I'll grow, I'll flourish, I'll learn something new, but I'll always do something that I like. If I get the right film, I'll do it. I will not compromise for anything else.

I sold my first short story while I was home on maternity leave, then began working on novels. Since I was reading and enjoying romance novels at the time, the first two unpublished manuscripts I wrote were both romances. I sold my third novel, 'Call After Midnight,' to Harlequin Intrigue after submitting it unagented.

You're always going to wonder if you're doing things wrong, but that's what it means to be a mom, to care so much about someone else that you just want to be as perfect as possible.

Men of genius are admired men of wealth are envied men of power are feared but only men of character are trusted

You might have, as a character, 30 pages of dialogue a day if you're what they call a 'front-burner story.' So you go home, you learn your lines for the next day, you get up, you're there at 7 in the morning, you do a quick rehearsal, you're on camera, you might leave, you know, at 7 at night and start the whole thing over again.

Obesity is a societal issue. We have to come together with government, business, civil society, and NGOs to create solutions for this.

'Theogony' should be read before the great Homeric epics because it gives an account of the cosmology that is taken for granted by Homer. It does for paganism what the Old Testament attempted to do for monotheism.

If you would make the most of yourself, cut away all of your vitality sappers; get rid of everything which hampers you and holds you back, everything which wastes your energy, cuts down your working capital. Get freedom at any cost.

If you dont do anything you simply end up overwhelmed by something happening.

An aged man is but a paltry thing, a tattered coat upon a stick, unless soul clap its hands and sing, and louder sing for every tatter in its mortal dress.

The fly that doesn't want to be swatted is most secure when it lights on the fly-swatter.

The alienation of man thus appeared as the fundamental evil of capitalist society.

For them to perceive the advantage of defeating the enemy, they must also have their rewards.

I think it's dynamite, the way my career has just kept moving, even when people didn't know it did. I made such interesting films, but, yeah, they're not necessarily the big movies that go to the supermarket. I don't need those movies, because I don't wanna do them.

There are worse things in life than death. Have you ever spent an evening with an insurance salesman?

Baseball calls it a curve ball for a reason you just dont know where some pitches will land. Your ace could get injured. Your golden glover could err. Your team could sit through a rain delay. Your manager could get ejected. Your bench must be broad and deep enough to overcome.
