An agent won't help you get drafted higher, won't make you win more games, and won't make you faster or stronger.

All you need is something to say, and a burning desire to say it... it doesn't matter where your hands are.

I was born January 6, 1937, eight years after Wall Street crashed and two years before John Steinbeck published The Grapes of Wrath, his Pulitzer Prize-winning novel about the plight of a family during the Great Depression.

In life, be a participant, not a spectator.

You will never be indecisive if you know your purpose.

The standards you establish for others must reflect the standards you set for yourself. No one will follow a hypocrite.

Your neighbors will make judgments about you based on how your lawn and house look, and people who see you passing will judge you based on how clean you keep your car. It's not always fair, but it has always been true. Appearances matter, so make yours a good one.
