Take pride in your work at all times. Remember, respect for an umpire is created off the field as well as on.

I'd hate this to get out but I really like opera.

Keep all your personalities out of your work. Forget and forgive.

Keep your eye on the ball.

Never charge a player and, above all, no pointing your finger or yelling.

Review your work. You will find, if you are honest, that 90% of the trouble is traceable to loafing.

Avoid sarcasm. Don't insist on the last word.

I know parts of all the decades come in and out of fashion, but you never get to wear an entire outfit exactly how it was.

I like to hear a man talk about himself because then I never hear anything, but good.
