I may have had a tough break, but I have an awful lot to live for.

I love to win, but I love to lose almost as much. I love the thrill of victory, and I also love the challenge of defeat.

The ballplayer who loses his head, who can't keep his cool, is worse than no ballplayer at all.

The Babe is one fellow, and I'm another and I could never be exactly like him. I don't try, I just go on as I am in my own right.
