I like people talking about me, about my defense or what I'm doing. I like to see that, and that makes me work hard.

My mom and dad gave me everything they could have given me.

I like to be aggressive. I like to swing the bat.

I can't change something that I've been all my life. But I can work to express myself and talk more.

My goal is to win. It doesn't matter how I do. I want to do well, but I just want the team to win.

I learned that I have to work hard every day, that I can't get down if I get in a slump.

I pray to God to be a great player, but I want to keep my life.

Major League Baseball should retire Roberto Clemente's number, just like they did Jackie Robinson's.

I just need to come to the park every day thinking something good is going to happen to me and hoping today is going to be the day.

Now that I feel 100 percent, I'm looking forward to playing my game the way I want to-getting on base, stealing bases and trying to help the team any way I can.

I know there are a lot of expectations of me, and I will do the best I can.

To awaken within the dream is our purpose now. When we are awake within the dream, the ego-created earth-drama comes to an end and a more benign and wondrous dream arises. This is the new earth.

Motivating people- the ingredient that separates winners from losers.

Whatever you do, don't do it halfway.

The sermon is now the true poppy of literature.

There is something about words. In expert hands, manipulated deftly, they take you prisoner.

I think our lives are surely but the dreams Of spirits, dwelling in the distant spheres, Who as we die, do one by one awake.

You'll lose it, if you talk about it

Life cannot be captured in a few axioms. And that is just what I keep trying to do. But it won't work, for life is full of endless nuances and cannot be captured in just a few formulae.

For the soul to be well, it needs to be with God.

To have friends, you know, one need only be good-natured; but when a man has no enemy left there must be something mean about him.
