“I’d play for half my salary if I could hit in this dump (Wrigley Field) all the time.”

Every strike brings me closer to the next home run.

Baseball was, is and always will be to me the best game in the world.

I don’t need to know where the green is. Where is the golf course?

I’m only going one way.

It’s hard to beat a person that never gives up.

Yesterday’s home runs don’t win today’s games.

If it wasn’t for baseball, I’d be in either the penitentiary or the cemetery. I have the same violent temper my father and older brother had. Both died of injuries from street fights in Baltimore, fights begun by flare-ups of their tempers.

The way a team plays as a whole determines its success.

I won’t be happy until we have every boy in America between the ages of six and sixteen wearing a glove and swinging a bat.

The most important thing that a young athlete must do it pick the right sport. Not one that they like just a little bit, but one that they love. Because,if they don’t really love their sport, they won’t work as hard as they should. Me? I loved to hit.

The way a team plays as a whole determines its success. You may have the greatest bunch of individual stars in the world, but if they don’t play together, the club won’t be worth a dime.

Well, the good Lord and good luck must have been with me because I did exactly what I said I was going to do.

Who is richer? The man who is seen, but cannot see? Or the man who is not being seen, but can see?

I’d give a year of my life if I could hit a homerun on opening day of this great new park.

Each strikeout brings me closer to my next homerun.

Baseball is the greatest game in the world and deserves the best you can give it.

Wealth–the most excellent of all gods.

Success is not the result of making money; earning money is the result of success — and success is in direct proportion to our service.

The philosophy of the rich and the poor is this: the rich invest their money and spend what is left. The poor spend their money and invest what is left.

In most cases, when people make more money, they get deeper in debt. This is why money alone does not make you rich.

Neither money pays, nor name pays, nor fame, nor learning; it is CHARACTER that cleave through adamantine walls of difference.

There is no dignity quite so impressive, and no one independence quite so important, as living within your means.

Most people think they want more money than they really do, and they settle for a lot less than they could get.

If you are afraid of making mistakes, you won’t learn anything and you won’t make much money.
