Don't talk to me about aesthetics or tradition. Talk to me about what sells and what's good right now. And what the American people like is to think the underdog still has a chance.

I'm really 95 percent Mr. Rogers, and only 5 percent Oscar the Grouch.'

I haven't always done a good job, and I haven't always been successful - but I know that I have tried.

I haven't always made the right decisions.

We plan absentee ownership as far as running the Yankees is concerned.

As I have said many times - my father was a great fan of Bill Dickey's and he certainly loved the Yankees. I hope that he would be pleased.

Owning the Yankees is like owning the Mona Lisa.

I was often misquoted. I was supportive of my managers, even though they all may not think so.

I am dead set against free agency. It can ruin baseball.

I don't want to be in the Hall of Fame. I don't think owners should be.

As I've always said, the way New Yorkers back us we have to produce for them.

I don't think that anybody should be suspended for life for anything, other than murder. How is it helping someone to say, 'You're done forever, your life's over'?

Winning is the most important thing in my life, after breathing. Breathing first, winning next.

People keep coming up to me and asking, 'How does it feel to be banned for life?' Banned for life. I wasn't banned for life. There was never a word of suspension, probation or ban in that agreement. It was never meant to be part of it.

I think about the next season right away.

Don't talk to me about aesthetics or tradition. Talk to me about what sells and what's good right now. And what the American people like is to think the underdog still has a chance.

I will never have a heart attack. I give them.

I am tough. Sometimes I'm unreasonable. I have to catch myself every once in a while.

Ruth was probably the greatest athlete to perform in any sport. Never has there been anybody like him.

You shouldn't have any betting in the locker room at all, whether it's baseball or it's horses. You can't beat the horses. You can't beat any kind of gambling because they have the odds.

So begins a question which has of late become more and more urgent: what is the relation of aesthetics to politics?

At one of the annual conventions of the American Society for Aesthetics much confusion arose when the Society for Anesthetics met at the same time in the same hotel.

This required the development of a view which allowed one to integrate research with belief, thing with person, fact with aesthetics, knowledge with application of knowledge.

Design is the method of putting form and content together. Design, just as art, has multiple definitions; there is no single definition. Design can be art. Design can be aesthetics. Design is so simple, that's why it is so complicated.

There's no particular evidence that any of the lower mammals or any of the other animals have any interest in aesthetics at all. But Homo sapiens does, always has and always will.

I've handled colour as a man should behave. You may conclude that I consider ethics and aesthetics as one.

But aesthetics is not religion, and the origins of religion lie somewhere completely different. They lie anyway, these roses smell too sweet and the deep roar of the breaking waves is too splendid, to do justice to such weighty matters now.

There is no executive order; there is no law that can require the American people to form a national community. This we must do as individuals and if we do it as individuals, there is no President of the United States who can veto that decision.
