Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other.

I am not concerned that you have fallen; I am concerned that you arise.

If you would win a man to your cause, first convince him that you are his sincere friend.

Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man’s character, give him power.

A man ought to get all he can earn. A man who knows he's making money for other people ought to get some of the profit he brings in. Don't make any difference if it's baseball or a bank or a vaudeville show. It's business, I tell you. There ain't no sentiment to it. Forget that stuff.

Baseball changes through the years. It gets milder.

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.

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

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

I think it is possible for ordinary people to choose to be extraordinary.
