NO MAN CAN AVOID BEING BORN AVERAGE, BUT NO MAN HAS TO STAY AVERAGE.

There never was a man on earth who pitched as much as me. But the more I pitched, the stronger my arm would get.

Just take the ball and throw it where you want to. Throw strikes. Home plate don't move.

You win a few, you lose a few. Some get rained out. But you got to dress for all of them.

Work such as you will not have to have the money. Adore like you've got by no means been damage. Dance like nobody's seeing.

When they treat you bad, you just got to take care of your pride, no matter what.

Nobody likes the ball low and away, but that's where you're going to get it from me. I been pitching it there 50 years, away from them. That way they can't hurt you. You keep the ball in the park.
