Baseball is almost the only orderly thing in a very unorderly world. If you get three strikes, even the best lawyer in the world can't get you off.

If you can't outsmart people, outwork them.

Tradition is the albatross around the neck of progress.

I try not to break the rules, but merely to test their elasticity.

I don't mind the high price of stardom. I just don't like the high price of mediocrity.

If there is any justice in this world, to be a White Sox fan frees a man from any other form of penance.

An island of surety in a changing world.
