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

The things you do for a woman you wouldn’t do for anything else. Same with money.

How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you are?

If a man can beat you, walk him.

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.

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.

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

General rules will bear hard on particular cases.

Death will come in any case, and there is a long afterwards if the priests are right and nothing to fear if they are wrong.

Sometimes it’s better to bend the law a little in special cases.

Policemen are numbered in case they get lost.

If you must break the law, do it to seize power: in all other cases observe it.

Be sure to put the knocker fairly low on your door in case a very small friend drops by.

My rule was I will not answer a question that attempts to project how I will rule in a case that might come before the court.
