The difference between the impossible and the possible lies in a man's determination.

Managing is like holding a dove in your hand. Squeeze too hard and you kill it, not hard enough and it flies away.

Baseball is like driving, it's the one who gets home safely that counts.

There are three types of baseball players: those who make it happen, those who watch it happen, and those who wonder what happens.

The difference between the impossible and the possible lies in a man's determination.

I love doubleheaders. That way I get to keep my uniform on longer.

I believe managing is like holding a dove in your hand. If you hold it too tightly you kill it, but if you hold it too loosely, you lose it.

The only way I'd worry about the weather is if it snows on our side of the field and not theirs.

Pressure is a word that is misused in our vocabulary. When you start thinking of pressure, it's because you've started to think of failure.

I bleed Dodger blue and when I die, I'm going to the big Dodger in the sky.

About the only problem with success is that it does not teach you how to deal with failure.

People say you can't go out and eat with your players. I say why not.

Guys ask me, don't I get burned out? How can you get burned out doing something you love? I ask you, have you ever got tired of kissing a pretty girl?

Listen, if you start worrying about the people in the stands, before too long you're up in the stands with them.

Always give an autograph when somebody asks you.

My theory of hitting was just to watch the ball as it came in and hit it.

When we win, I'm so happy I eat a lot. When we lose, I'm so depressed, I eat a lot. When we're rained out, I'm so disappointed I eat a lot.

No, we don't cheat. And even if we did, I'd never tell you.

'Pressure' is a word that is misused in our vocabulary. When you start thinking of pressure, it's because you've started to think of failure.

Chan Ho had a great career and was the exemplification of class, dignity and character.

Everybody wants to win, but everybody doesn't win.

Everything I have, I owe to baseball and the Dodgers.

Everywhere I go, I feel strange.

Grownups have to say 'please,' too.

I am so happy and proud to learn of Hideo Nomo's election to the Japanese Baseball Hall of Fame. He was quite a pitcher and competitor, but he is also a very special and caring person.

I bleed Dodger blue!

I do not care whether you're a Democrat or you're a Republican or an independent. We must pull for the people who are wearing the uniform of the armed forces. These people weren't drafted. They enlisted, because they believe.

I firmly believe that there is a God. I firmly believe that there is a Heaven. And I firmly believe that if you go there, it's gonna be great.

I started in the lowest league in baseball, and I worked my way all the way up to Triple A and then to the big leagues. I never reached the level that I thought I would reach as a player. But that's the way it goes. So then I started from the bottom as a manager, and I worked my way up to managing the Dodgers for 20 years.

I still remember the entire Boy Scout motto. I don't remember the serial number of my gun in the army. I don't remember the number of my locker in school. But I remember that Boy Scout code.

I was fortunate enough to coach the U.S. Olympic team in Australia.

I'm telling you, I don't like cheaters.

If you love your job, you haven't worked a day in your life.

My son wasn't gay. No way.

No matter how good you are, you're going to lose one-third of your games. No matter how bad you are, you're going to win one-third of your games. It's the other third that makes the difference.

One time I was doing a speech to a group of kids, and just before I get there, I see this little kid crying. I found out they just lost a game, and he was the losing pitcher. I went over there, put my arm around him, and said, 'What are you crying for? When major league players lose, they don't cry.'

Sometimes you've just got to let an umpire know that you're not satisfied with his decision. That they've missed the play in your opinion. Not that it's going to do you any good, but you've got to let them know.

Sometimes, you get too hopped up, too excited, and it works against you.

Sports has kept me on the straight and narrow path.

The only Angels in Los Angeles are in Heaven, and they're looking down on the Dodgers.

There are three kinds of people in this world: people who make it happen, people who watch what happens, and people who wonder what happened.

They could never beat me in Springfield. I loved that old ballpark. If I could have pitched there all my career, I'd be a 300-game winner.

We're all put here for a reason. And one little movement changes your way of life.

When I took the job as the manager of the Olympic team, I didn't take it because I was a Dodger. I did it because I was an American, and I wanted to bring that gold medal where it belongs in baseball, the United States. And that's exactly what our team did.
