Honestly, I don't think I'm doing anything any different right now. You swing, and the ball finds a hole. That's it. That's the game of baseball.

We won't let history define our future. Our actions will do the talking. Our determination will turn doubters into believers.

We focus on what we do right, we learn from what we did wrong, we move onto the next day that's what prepares us, that's what makes us strong?

In order to be better, you should expect to be better.

Life doesn't always go the way you planned it to go. Sometimes you have detours you have to take.

The good thing about this game? There's always tomorrow.

I don't really look at myself as a power hitter. I look at myself as someone who drives the ball to the gaps, hits line drives.

Before I point a finger at anyone, I have to point it at myself first.

One thing I always remember: Frustration is built by unmet expectations.

We all have an expectancy of something, but who's to say it always goes that way? Nine times out of 10, life never goes that way.

I'll do everything I've got to do to get on base, and I've been doing that. I'm happy with it.

You cannot afford to be too busy to pray.

If you think you are unworthy to pray, that thought is not coming from Jesus Christ. More than anything, He wants us to approach Heavenly Father, to have our prayers heard and answered.

Decide what you want. Declare it to the world. See yourself winning. And remember that if you are persistent as well as patient, you can get whatever you seek.

The trouble with you people is that you don't laugh enough.

A religion that cannot stand a little laughter must be a very rotten one.

I would never tell anybody to get a divorce.

Medals are decided by hundredths of a second, so I need assurance that my vision is perfect every time I compete, no matter what the conditions.

When you fall in love you recognise you're not the most important person in the world, and your focus becomes another person.

Ponder and deliberate before you make your move. He will conquer who has learned the artifice of deviation. Such is the art of maneuvering.

Real repentance means coming not only to be sorry for the consequences of sin but to hate sin itself.
