Pair up in threes.

Too many kids today are playing major league ball and don't belong there.

I'm just a ballplayer with one ambition, and that is to give all I've got to help my ball club win. I've never played any other way.

I can remember a reporter asking me for a quote, and I didn't know what a quote was. I thought it was some kind of soft drink.

If anyone wants to know why three kids in one family made it to the big leagues they just had to know how we helped each other and how much we practiced back then. We did it every minute we could.

A ball player has to be kept hungry to become a big leaguer. That's why no boy from a rich family has ever made the big leagues.

Pair up in threes.

We need a hit, so here I go.

A person always doing his or her best becomes a natural leader, just by example.

You start chasing a ball and your brain immediately commands your body to 'Run forward, bend, scoop up the ball, peg it to the infield,' then your body says, 'Who me?'

The phrase 'off with the crack of the bat', while romantic, is really meaningless, since the outfielder should be in motion long before he hears the sound of the ball meeting the bat.

You always get a special kick on opening day, no matter how many you go through. You look forward to it like a birthday party when you're a kid. You think something wonderful is going to happen.

There is always some kid who may be seeing me for the first time. I owe him my best.

Now I've had everything except for the thrill of watching Babe Ruth play.

I feel like I have reached the stage where I can no longer produce for my club, my manager, and my teammates.

I think there are some players born to play ball.

I'm a ballplayer, not an actor.

When baseball is no longer fun, it's no longer a game.

All pitchers are born pitchers.

I'd like to thank the good Lord for making me a Yankee.

Biochemically love is just like eating large amounts of chocolate.

I understood that without English I would never get far, so my dream was to become a receptionist, and so I started to learn English from watching 'Sesame Street.'

The folly of endless consumerism sends us on a wild goose-chase for happiness through materialism.

That guns do more than protect us from criminals; more importantly, they protect us from the ongoing threat of government.

When I was in my single digits I was subjected to the worst torture you can possibly inflict on a child Catholic mass.

To be a great actor you just need to comprehend, so that's why I became a writer.

I just think it is so delightful to see people let their elbows free. I think the exuberance of it all is really exciting to me. Its a signal of the abundance of diversity and creative expression.

The point to remember is that what the government gives it must first take away.

I have no regrets on anything. People ask me all the time, 'Do I have any regrets?' I don't have any. If I could back and do it all over, would I change anything? No.

I have nothing against President McKinley whatsoever, but I would rather have this peak be called by the name it has gone by for centuries by Alaskans than a man who never set foot in our state. This is the tallest mountain in North America, and we deserve to have this Alaskan landmark bear an Alaskan name.

Christmas is not a time nor a season but a state of mind. To cherish peace and goodwill to be plenteous in mercy is to have the real spirit of Christmas.

It should be pursued as in the presence of God, and under the solemn sanctions created by a lively sense of his omniscience, and of our accountability to him for the right use of the faculties which he has bestowed.

The human mind is our fundamental resource.

My temperament is not the adventuresome sort that enjoys starting new projects every six months. I love ensemble, nine-to-five stability. There's a family dynamic in making a television show that you don't get on a movie, where you're a hired gun for a few months.

There's an ethical dimension to my life and all of our lives, from the time we get up in the morning to the time we sleep, including what we sleep on. So I don't separate my choices from ethical choices at any time.
