“After I got that hit off Satchel (Paige), I knew I was ready for the big leagues.”

I thought he had been shot.

Baseball didn’t really get into my blood until I knocked off that hitting streak. Getting a daily hit became more important to me than eating, drinking or sleeping.

At my age, I’m just happy to be named the greatest living anything.

I want to thank the good lord for making me a yankee

I feel like I have reached the stage where I can no longer produce for my club, my manager, and my teammates.

In that case Mr. Barrow, Mr. Gehrig is a very underpaid ballplayer.

I played my best everyday. You never know when someone may be seeing you play for the first time.

Putting the Yankee uniform on every day.

If you keep thinking about what you want to do or what you hope will happen, you don’t do it, and it won’t happen.

I no longer have it (desire to play).

The absolute worst thing a person can say about your pictures is, ‘”That’s nice.” It’s the kiss of death.

It’s got to be better than rooming with Joe Page.

You start chasing a ball and your brain immediately commands your body to ‘Run forward, bend, scoop up the ball, peg it to the infield,’ then your body says, ‘Who me?’

I’m proud to have been a Yankee. But I have found more happiness and contentment since I came back home to San Francisco than any man has a right to deserve. This is the friendliest city in the world.

I think there are some players born to play ball.

When you have five or six potential hall of famers on your team … that’s when you win penants and championships. The only thing you have to be concerned about is getting the ballplayers to bed on time.

Never sweep. After four years the dirt gets no worse.

And after Brexit, we will be free to determine our economic future, with control over our money, laws and borders.

The care of the Earth is our most ancient and most worthy, and after all our most pleasing responsibility.

Life comes after you have been filled with the Holy Spirit. Get down and pray for power.

All animals are sad after coitus except the female human and the rooster.

Whatever the mind sets itself on is what the man walks after.

You must refuse every- thing that is not pure and holy. God wants you pure in heart. He wants you to have an intense desire after holiness…

We must not run after it, but we must fit ourselves for the vision and then wait tranquilly for it.
