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.

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

My pitching philosophy is simple - keep the ball way from the bat.

Airplanes may kill you, but they ain't likely to hurt you.

Don't eat fried food, it angries up the blood.

Baseball is the most perfect of games, solid, true, pure and precious as diamonds. If only life were so simple. Within the baselines anything can happen. Tides can reverse; oceans can open. That's why they say, we don't stop playing because we get old. We get old because we stop playing.

Smile well and often, it makes people wonder what you've been up to.
