The fan is the one who suffers. He cheers a guy to a .350 season then watches that player sign with another team. When you destroy fan loyalties, you destroy everything.

No, I don't think my presence will cause an increase in black attendance at Cleveland.

If the guys on the bench were as good as the guys you have out there, they'd be out there in first place.

I always tried to do the best. I knew I couldn't always be the best, but I tried to be.

I know a lot of people on the field - players, coaches, managers - are glad that I'm gone.

I haven't seen a player in this game, as long as I've been in it, that can't be pitched to... Barry is an outstanding ballplayer. I respect him an awful lot. I also have confidence in my pitchers that they can pitch to Barry Bonds and get him out.

Pitchers did me a favor when they knocked me down. It made me more determined. I wouldn't let that pitcher get me out. They say you can't hit if you're on your back, but I didn't hit on my back. I got up.

Close don't count in baseball. Close only counts in horseshoes and grenades.

But I'm not going to walk Barry Bonds, like some teams do, in the first inning with nobody on.

Managers don't have as much leverage as they used to have. We can't really be the boss.

All in all, I wouldn't call it a bad outing. It was a short outing.

At least when it's in French, I won't know what the heck they're saying.

You have to have a short memory as a closer.

If he can hit, he can hit. I don't care if he came from Class Z league.

It's nice to come into a town and be referred to as the manager of the Cleveland Indians instead of as the first black manager.

No. 1, these guys out here on this field. They keep my energy level up. They try hard, they don't complain about things - and I'd just like to be with them when things are good, and hopefully we can win a pennant together.

I just didn't have anything to say, so I said nothing.

The way we're going... if I called up another pitcher, he'd just hang up the phone on me.

People come out to see the players. When do you see a manager anyway? When he's out on the field arguing with the umpires, making a fool of himself and you know you can't win, and when he brings out the line-up card.

I am Eagle! I am Eagle!

A capitalist economy hums when leading businessmen are bubbling with animal spirits and are prepared to sink their money into risky ventures.

I love the life I live. The Lord blessed me to be independent. I am independent.

I feel good about my life.

If I have any message for others, it is to go for help early and not to be a resistant patient.

I have six brothers and sisters. My mother has six kids from two different marriages. And we would just sit around making fun of each other's dad, and all our dads had real problems.

Give me any two pages of the Bible and I'll give you a picture.

Use your lives wisely, my friends, and conserve these precious freedoms for future generations.

It was my first scene. My first day. We could have started with me drinking a beer, something a little less than having Barbies touching each other. But they started with that.

Not only did God deliver me from the bondage of alcoholism, he also blessed my family financially because of my commitment to honor what he had done for me and for not doing what I believed could possibly be destructive to others.

I still make videos in my bedroom by choice because that's the feel of my comedy, but the opportunity to make longer format content with a production company, with a team that's a bit more elevated in that sense, is really exciting for me because it's not that it's better than what I've already been doing, but it's different.

The 'Axis of Evil' was - and is - very real, as the tyrants of Iran, Iraq, and North Korea knew full well.

I like to be fragile. I like that. I try to be close to that energy and sensibility.

The Palestinian Authority gets money from the American taxpayer.

I just look at it, as it's something that I had to do. I had this vision that really, Graceland is suited for a king and it is his castle. And people really should see it, as he loved it.

Have you never seen a strange unconnected deformed representation of a figure which seen in another point of view became proportioned and agreeable It is the picture of man.

Guns are bad, I tell you.

A multitude of causes unknown to former times are now acting with a combined force to blunt the discriminating powers of the mind, and unfitting it for all voluntary exertion to reduce it to a state of almost savage torpor.

I stated that I'm a libertarian Republican, which means I believe in a series of issues, such as smaller government, constraint on budget deficits, free markets, globalization, and a whole series of other things, including welfare reform.

Make friends with the angels, who though invisible are always with you. Often invoke them, constantly praise them, and make good use of their help and assistance in all your temporal and spiritual affairs.

This is a gathering of Lovers. In this gathering there is no high no low no smart no ignorant no special assembly no grand discourse no proper schooling required. There is no master no disciple. This gathering is more like a drunken party full of tricksters fools mad men and mad women. This is a gathering of Lovers.

I'm not as big a soccer fan as people might imagine, being British.

I love cooking. I'm in the restaurant business.

Tolerance is you saying something crazy and me smiling and saying, 'That's nice.'
