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

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.

Tomorrow is a new day. You shall begin it well & serenely, & with too high a spirit to be cumbered with your old nonsense. This day is too dear with its hopes & invitations to waste a moment on the rotten yesterdays.

I think we have a fascinating new and quite dominant input into politics - and it wont go away. From time to time, people articulate a view that we should ban opinion polls, but that's nonsense.

I have to have my coffee. I probably have three cups a day, but only before noon.

The message of Jesus is summed up partly in the Sermon on the Mount, and partly when he begins his ministry and quotes the passage from Isaiah: 'I have come to set free the prisoners and restore sight to the blind.' And certainly, his mission is also to bring hope. It was to heal people, to befriend the outcast.

Like so many women, I was living out the unlived life of my mother - so I wouldn't be her. But the price I paid was that I distanced myself internally.

It could happen to anyone when you get hired by a different president. There's a difference in philosophies. It happens. It's a change in CEOs. They have their own people, their own philosophies, and it's different than what Bob stands for.

I hated stand-up.

We can also cut by heat - heat punch. And we also can cut by cold - extreme cold. When you cut with heat, it makes a mark. With cold, no mark. It depends on the fabric.

When the public's right to know is threatened, and when the rights of free speech and free press are at risk, all of the other liberties we hold dear are endangered.

Indeed, in view of its function, religion stands in greater need of a rational foundation of its ultimate principles than even the dogmas of science.

I've been a godmother loads of times, but being a grandmother is better than anything.

'Homeland' is not a sensationalist show.

Every time you choose to love you have also just chosen to die.

I trained 8 hours a day 7 seven days a week and I had 2 weeks off in a year.

I think there is a direct correlation between interest shown by a member of Congress on these projects and the progress that is made. I think it gives the Superfund effort some credibility, lets citizens know we are serious about these cleanups.

Disco sucks You never heard that from me.

Dreams come true, but then things happen that are beyond anything you could dream. To be in a movie and to be in the same room participating in a movie with Meryl Streep? Come on!

I opened up a frozen-yogurt business out of college. I didn't finish college; I went halfway, and then I worked for Joel Silver, the producer, as a driver for a year.

I made a big mistake with him the first day I shot. We're shooting the scene where I come back from the party, the dance, in the sleigh with Julie Christie and we turn the corner and go past the camera and the camera follows us just a little bit and we disappear.

Never try to impress a woman, because if you do, she'll expect you to keep up the standard for the rest of your life.

If you've ever talked to a special agent that you know well, and you ask he or she about a dangerous encounter they were involved in, they'll almost always give you the same answer: 'Yeah, I did it, but I was scared to heck the whole time.'

Religion is capable of driving people to such dangerous folly that faith seems to me to qualify as a kind of mental illness.
