“When you are younger you get blamed for crimes you never committed and when you’re older you begin to get credit for virtues you never possessed. It evens itself out.”

You gotta lose ’em some of the time. When you do, lose ’em right.

Son, we’d like to keep you around this season but we’re going to try and win a pennant.

Sure I played, did you think I was born at the age of 70 sitting in a dugout trying to manage guys like you?

The secret of successful managing is to keep the five guys who hate you away from the four guys who haven’t made up their minds.

Don’t drink in the hotel bar, that’s where I do my drinking.

It’s a combination of life being unpredictable, and you being super dumb.

Before you begin, sit for a moment and take a couple of deep breaths. You want to be calm and prepared to maintain mental focus

The day you stop caring what other people think of you is the day your life begins.

That is life… to begin again when everything is lost!

Beginning of all knowledge comes from humility.
