I always loved the game, but when my legs weren't hurting it was a lot easier to love.

A team is where a boy can prove his courage on his own. A gang is where a coward goes to hide.

After I hit a home run I had a habit of running the bases with my head down. I figured the pitcher already felt bad enough without me showing him up rounding the bases.

I'll play baseball for the Army or fight for it, whatever they want me to do.

As far as I'm concerned, Aaron is the best ball player of my era. He is to baseball of the last fifteen years what Joe DiMaggio was before him. He's never received the credit he's due.

It's unbelievable how much you don't know about the game you've been playing all your life.

Well, baseball was my whole life. Nothing's ever been as fun as baseball.

He who has the fastest golf cart never has a bad lie.

I don't care who you are, you hear those boos.

It was all I lived for, to play baseball.

Heroes are people who are all good with no bad in them. That's the way I always saw Joe DiMaggio. He was beyond question one of the greatest players of the century.

My views are just about the same as Casey's.

If I knew I was going to live this long, I'd have taken better care of myself.

Sometimes I think if I had the same body and the same natural ability and someone else's brain, who knows how good a player I might have been.

Today's Little Leaguers, and there are millions of them each year, pick up how to hit and throw and field just by watching games on TV. By the time they're out of high school, the good ones are almost ready to play professional ball.

The biggest game I ever played in was probably Don Larsen's perfect game.

You don't realize how easy this game is until you get up in that broadcasting booth.

Roger Maris was as good a man and as good a ballplayer as there ever was.

Somebody once asked me if I ever went up to the plate trying to hit a home run. I said, 'Sure, every time.'

To play 18 years in Yankee Stadium is the best thing that could ever happen to a ballplayer.

When I hit a home run I usually didn't care where it went. So long as it was a home run was all that mattered.

I guess you could say I'm what this country is all about.

Hitting the ball was easy. Running around the bases was the tough part.

I could never be a manager. All I have is natural ability.

The only thing I can do is play baseball. I have to play ball. It's the only thing I know.

I always loved the game, but when my legs weren't hurting it was a lot easier to love.

The only sure rule in golf is he who has the fastest cart never has to play the bad lie.

We assume that celebrities have it easy and so love to watch them having to endure a bit of hardship.

I love Nautilus and stretching. The results are immediate, and that gives me the motivation to continue.

I am a ordinary teenager. I fall in love like everyone else.

I don't call you handsome, sir, though I love you most dearly: far too dearly to flatter you. Don't flatter me.

The essential elements of giving are power and love - activity and affection - and the consciousness of the race testifies that in the high and appropriate exercise of these is a blessedness greater than any other.

My mother keeps things in perspective for me. She makes me realize that the acting I do and love is no more important than what one of my brothers does-he works in a shoe repair shop. If my career ever tapers off, I'll go to college.

Actors love mental disorders, dialects, and corsets. Give them one of the three and they're happy.

My goal is, of course, for this show to do well, and I would love it if people liked it.

I love living on that stage. Without that, I'd die.

I love my DSL, but I love my WiFi more. And I probably get on the Internet 40 percent to 50 percent more because of the combination of those technologies.

But I love New York. I used to set my alarm clock when I was there, and get up at 4am and get a coffee, just because I could.

I love children and I love men, but I can't commit to either for the rest of my life.

Sitting at home the way I do, I'd just love the hear from people. It'd be a great help in passing the time.

The wise are wise only because they love. The fool are fools only because they think they can understand love.

We can recognize the dawn and the decline of love by the uneasiness we feel when alone together.

Love is a mutual self-giving which ends in self-recovery.

People react to fear, not love; they don't teach that in Sunday School, but it's true.

I sort of understood that when I first started: that you shouldn't repeat a success. Very often you're going to, and maybe the first time you do, it works. And you love it. But then you're trapped.

There is love there. And then there's times when I can't even stomach Simon. You don't have to sit next to him. That's all I have to say.

When I see children, I see the face of God. That's why I love them so much. That's what I see.

One can love a child, perhaps, more deeply than one can love another adult, but it is rash to assume that the child feels any love in return.

I love pasta with the homemade marinara sauce I had as a kid.
