We need a hit, so here I go.

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.

I am human and I make mistakes.

I am afforded a bit of easy wonderment in relative comfort as to how humans have lasted so long. Climate- and geography-wise, the planet seems to have little use for us.

I really liked the snake that breaks out of the cage in the beginning of the movie. I saw it in real life, and it was really cool. Really big and fat. The owls are cool as well, but you can't really pet them.

Without you, I’m nothing. With you, I’m something. Together, we’re everything.

My friends seem much more excited about my doing Anastasia than Brainstorm... and to tell you the truth, I feel the same way.

So then learn to conquer your fear. This is the only art we have to master nowadays: to look at things without fear, and to fearlessly do right.

We're not a nation divided: we're a nation broken, and anything broken can be fixed.

I'm a rapper trying to be an actor.

If strong economic conditions can partially reverse supply-side damage after it has occurred, then policymakers may want to aim at being more accommodative during recoveries than would be called for under the traditional view that supply is largely independent of demand.

When Mom had her first nervous breakdown, she said she had a vision of Christ coming to her in the living room.

Mandela was true to himself, to his people and his principles. He sacrificed everything because he was prepared to be true to his ideals. You can relate to him whether you come from Manchester or Soweto.

Even as a footballer, I was always being creative.

I do what I love to do at the moment. If I wake up tomorrow and decide I want to dance, that's what I'd do. Or design clothes. I think I'd throw myself into whatever I'm doing now. It's not about abandoning what I was doing before, or giving up. It's about knowing that if I die tomorrow, I lived the way I wanted to.

I briefly did therapy, but after a while, I realised it is just like a farmer complaining about the weather. You can't fix the weather - you just have to get on with it.

Buddhism teaches us not to try to run away from suffering. You have to confront suffering. You have to look deeply into the nature of suffering in order to recognize its cause, the making of the suffering.

My ideas I can find anywhere. And I draw because I have to note down my ideas or flashes - I call them flashes, because they come to me, like that. Not so much in the plant drawings. I have to see them.

I could do another tour, make a record that's very similar, do similar venues. Or I could make a different record, do different venues, and grow. It's exciting to take it to new places, but it's never been my intent to be the biggest thing in the world. That's not what my drive is. I want to make what I want to make, and make a living off it.

The Bible says that two cannot walk together unless they are agreed.

Volleyball is more than a sport, it's a way of life

If you know how to make software, then you can create big things.

The social sciences were for all those who had not yet decided what to do with their lives, and for all those whose premature frustrations led them into the sterile alleys of confrontation.

Of the nine red cards this season we probably deserved half of them.

There are so many different camps about what being gay means. The danger comes when each one is so rigid that it sees itself as the true picture.

Its cool when fashion recycles itself its not cool when sustainable living does because it means there was and is as I write a period of absolute and possibly irreversible destruction.
