A part of control is learning to correct your own weaknesses. The person doesn't live who was born with everything. Sometimes he has one weak point, generally he has several. The first thing is to know your faults. And then take on a systematic plan of correcting them. You know the old saying about a chain only being as strong as its weakest link. The same can be said in the chain of skills a man forges.

Wealth is always attracted, never pursued.

Baseball was, is and always will be to me the best game in the world.

Life is a game like any other; we just don't take it as seriously.

All ballplayers should quit when it starts to feel as if all the baselines run uphill.

The only real game, I think, in the world is baseball.

I won't be happy until we have every boy in America between the ages of six and sixteen wearing a glove and swinging a bat.
