“I never rush myself. See, they can’t start the game without me.”

Work like you don’t need the money. Love like you’ve never been hurt. Dance like nobody’s watching.

Avoid running at all times.

The only change is that baseball has turned Paige from a second class citizen to a second class immortal.

Ain’t no man can avoid being born average, but there ain’t no man got to be common.

I ain’t ever had a job, I just always played baseball.

I don’t generally like running. I believe in training by rising gently up and down from the bench.

Age is a case of mind over matter. If you don’t mind, it don’t matter.

Just take the ball and throw it where you want to. Throw strikes. Home plate don’t move.

Don’t pray when it rains if you don’t pray when the sun shines.

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it a a hundred times, I’m forty-four years old.

When a batter swings and I see his knees move, I can tell just what his weaknesses are then I just put the ball where I know he can’t hit it.

I never threw an illegal pitch. The trouble is, once in a while I toss one that ain’t never been seen by this generation.

Don’t look back. Something might be gaining on you.

Airplanes may kill you, but they ain’t likely to hurt you.

I was born in August, no July, 1908.

My feet ain’t got nothing to do with my nickname, but when folks get it in their heads that a feller’s got big feet, soon the feet start looking big.

There’s no regrets for me.

I showed up for work, you can yell at me if you want, but I want input. So that’s the kind of coach I want to be.

I need to be able to explain myself in context.

People ask me if I have stage fright. I say, “God, no, I’m completely comfortable there. I have rest-of-the-day fright.”

I’m like a fungus; you can’t get rid of me.

I’m tryin’ to build myself bigger than just Ace Hood, I’m tryin’ to build myself as a bigger brand – open up clothing lines, colognes.

What are you gonna do? Kill me? Everybody dies.

I wouldn’t like me, if I had to be around me.
