Airplanes may kill you, but they ain't likely to hurt you.

Don't pray when it rains if you don't pray when the sun shines.

Work like you don't need the money. Love like you've never been hurt. Dance like nobody's watching.

I've said it once and I'll say it a a hundred times, I'm forty-four years old.

If a man can beat you, walk him.

Don't look back. Something might be gaining on you.

Not to be cheered by praise, not to be grieved by blame, but to know thoroughly one's own virtues or powers are the characteristics of an excellent man.

Ain't no man can avoid being born average, but there ain't no man got to be common.

I don't generally like running. I believe in training by rising gently up and down from the bench.

My feet ain't got nothing to do with my nickname, but when folks get it in their heads that a feller's got big feet, soon the feet start looking big.

You gotta keep the ball off the fat part of the bat.

Avoid fried foods, which angry up the blood.

Money and women. They're two of the strongest things in the world. The things you do for a woman you wouldn't do for anything else. Same with money.

How old would you be if you didn't know how old you are?

My pitching philosophy is simple - keep the ball way from the bat.

It's funny what a few no-hitters do for a body.

I never threw an illegal pitch. The trouble is, once in a while I toss one that ain't never been seen by this generation.

Avoid running at all times.

Just take the ball and throw it where you want to. Throw strikes. Home plate don't move.

If your stomach disputes you, lie down and pacify it with cool thoughts.

Airplanes may kill you, but they ain't likely to hurt you.

I was born in August, no July, 1908.

The only change is that baseball has turned Paige from a second class citizen to a second class immortal.

Age is a case of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it don't matter.

I never rush myself. See, they can't start the game without me.

I ain't ever had a job, I just always played baseball.

When a batter swings and I see his knees move, I can tell just what his weaknesses are then I just put the ball where I know he can't hit it.

Never let your head hang down. Never give up and sit down and grieve. Find another way.

Work like you don't need the money, love like you've never been hurt and dance like no one is watching

If your stomach disputes you lie down and pacify it with cool thoughts.

Work like you dont need the money. Love like youve never been hurt. Dance like nobodys watching.

I feel about airplanes the way I feel about diets. It seems to me that they are wonderful things for other people to go on.

The thing is helicopters are different from airplanes An airplane by it's nature wants to fly, and if not interfered with too strongly by unusual events or incompetent piloting, it will fly.

All my life, I've never been able to get enough airplanes. This will keep me flying every day.

My dad served in two wars has been flying airplanes for 60 years now. He was certainly quite an inspiration.

I realized that If I had to choose, I would rather have birds than airplanes.

My wife had taken off on a plane. Two airplanes had crashed into the World Trade Center. I, of course, like any other person, felt potentially devastated, panicky a little bit.

I've had a chance to fly a lot of different airplanes, but it was nothing like the shuttle ride.

I want to bring passengers on my airplanes to present to them my product.

Before we had airplanes and astronauts, we really thought that there was an actual place beyond the clouds, somewhere over the rainbow. There was an actual place, and we could go above the clouds and find it.there.

After the loss of Columbia a couple of years ago, I think we were reminded of the risk. All of us, though, have always known that the Space Shuttle is a very risky vehicle, much more risky than even flying airplanes in combat.

I thought that automobiles were going to have mufflers and go fast and airplanes were going to fly fast.

Nine g's is good, if the pilot can stand it. We couldn't stand it. Not in the airplanes of World War II.

Airplanes are interesting toys, but of no military value.

We've got gays working there. If they can demonstrate long-term relationships, we make same-sex benefits available just as we do with common-law marriages. Gays are productive people. Some fly airplanes, some work in breweries.

There are aphorisms that, like airplanes, stay up only while they are in motion.

It is just called Continuing Legal Education. You can go to lectures, you can even listen to tapes on airplanes - they want you to stay current. So you do have to stay current to maintain your license even if you are not practicing.

Later, in the early teens, I used to ride my bike every Saturday morning to the nearest airport, ten miles away, push airplanes in and out of the hangars, and clean up the hangars.

My movies were the kind they show in prisons and airplanes, because nobody can leave.
