Hitting is fifty percent above the shoulders.

It's a funny thing, but, as years go by, I think you appreciate more and more what a great thing it was to be a United States Marine... People will tell me what a shame it was I had to go back into the service a second time, but I'm kinda glad I did.. Besides, I am a U.S. Marine and I'll be one till I die.

Baseball is 50% from the neck up

God gets you to the plate, but once you're there you're on your own.

I've found in life the more you practice, the better you get. If you want something enough and work hard to get it, your chances of success are greater.

A man has to have goals - for a day, for a lifetime - and that was mine, to have people say, 'There goes Ted Williams, the greatest hitter who ever lived.'

All I want out of life is that when I walk down the street, folks will say, "There goes the greatest hitter who ever lived."
