Back in my day, we didn't think about money as much. We enjoyed playing the game. We loved baseball. I didn't think about anybody else but the Cardinals.

Unless you give it all you've got, there isn't any sense in playing.

I love to play this game of baseball. I love putting on the uniform.

I learned to hit with a broomstick and a ball of tape and I could always get that bat on the ball.

The first principle of contract negotiations is don't remind them of what you did in the past - tell them what you're going to do in the future.

Used to be bats had thick handles and a big barrel. Then they found it's not the size of the bat that gets home runs - it's the speed with which you can swing it.

Poetry is a connection to a change within you.

Self-help courses will only help you if they teach you to pay attention to life itself.

In peace, the Middle East, the ancient cradle of civilization, will become invigorated and transformed. Throughout its lands there will be freedom of movement of people, of ideas, of goods.

The power that comes from knowing the facts of history is dwarfed by the power that comes from being able to shape the stories about how that history is written and told.

Actually I never make a mistake, because it takes a huge effort for me to make a mistake.

Every time I see high-trust cultures, I see a lessening of adversarialism.

So I show appreciation for the little gifts that have been handed to me.

Who gathers the withered rose?
