“Gee, its lonesome in the outfield. It’s hard to keep awake with nothing to do.”

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

Don’t ever forget two things I’m going to tell you. One, don’t believe everything that’s written about you. Two, don’t pick up too many checks.

Baseball changes through the years. It gets milder.

Paris ain’t much of a town.

Reading isn’t good for a ballplayer. Not good for his eyes. If my eyes went bad even a little bit I couldn’t hit home runs. So I gave up reading.

It’s hard to beat somebody when they don’t give up.

If I’d just tried for them dinky singles I could’ve batted around 600.

Don’t be afraid to take advice. There’s always something new to learn.

Don’t let the fear of striking out hold you back.

(Ty) Cobb is a prick. But he sure can hit. God Almighty, that man can hit.

Love the game of baseball and baseball will love you.

Wealth is always attracted, never pursued.

The only real game, I think, in the world is baseball.

Let me show you how it’s done, Loser!

If it wasn’t for baseball, I’d be in either the penitentiary or the cemetery.

You know this baseball game of ours comes up from the youth – that means the boys. And after you’ve been a boy, and grow up to know how to play ball, then you come to the boys you see representing themselves today in our national pastime.

An Awakened person is someone who finds freedom in good fortune and bad.

Injustice makes the rules, and courage breaks them.

Whatever your years, there is in every being’s heart the love of wonder, the undaunted challenge of events, the unfailing childlike appetite for what next, and the joy and the game of life.

Becoming “awake” involves seeing our confusion more clearly.

Every morning I awake torn between a desire to save the world and an inclination to savor it. This makes it hard to plan the day. But if we forget to savor the world, what possible reason do we have for saving it? In a way, the savoring must come first.

I think a repressive regime always fears people who are awakened – particularly ordinary people. If they are awakened, I think governments all over the world feel uncomfortable about that; they want to be in control.

We are witnessing a great awakening. Millions of Texans, millions of Americans are rising up to reclaim our country, to defend liberty and to restore the Constitution.

We are seeing a great awakening. A national movement of We the People, brought together by what unites us – a shared love of liberty, and an understanding of the unlimited potential of free men and free women.
