I don't like the subtle infiltration of 'something for nothing' philosophies into the very hearthstone of the American family. I believe that 'Thou shalt earn the bread by the sweat of thy face' was a benediction and not a penalty. Work is the zest of life; there is joy in its pursuit.

Don't worry about your individual numbers. Worry about the team. If the team is successful, each of you will be successful, too.

We win if the world is convinced of two things, that you are a fine gentleman, and a great baseball player.

The world’s not so simple anymore, I guess it never was. We ignored it, now we can’t.

Never surrender opportunity to security.

First of all, a man, whether seeking achievement on the athletic field or in business, must want to win. He must feel that the thing he is doing is worthwhile; so worthwhile that he is willing to pay the price of success to attain distinction.

Baseball is a game of inches.
