I spent a lot of hours on the baseball field doing whatever I could do to get better.

I constantly try to humble myself; if you don't, I'm sure the game is going to find a way to humble you.

When you're a first-round pick and you get to the big leagues at 22, there's almost a sense that you've got to mature.

There have been some ups and downs, but I'm happy that I've stayed fairly consistent.

I like to set realistic goals for myself, not outrageous ones.

I definitely think with a lot of hard work, I can be a better player than I was last year, and hopefully, continue to raise the bar every year.

I read, much of the night, and go south in the winter.

In deep silence, raise your consciousness. Now feel the profound joy of life.

In the past there was a difference between the conditions in which Hizballah operated in Lebanon and the conditions of resistance operated in Palestine.

Now I was more certain than ever of my decision. I could not love a man who did not love Jane Austen.

When I lost my rifle, the Army charged me 85 dollars. That is why in the Navy the Captain goes down with the ship.

I feel like a visitor that got left behind by his ride.

My feet will tread soft as a deer in the forest. My mind will be clear as water from the sacred well. My heart will be strong as a great oak. My spirit will spread an eagle's wings, and fly forth.

Idealism has devolved into madness.

Every meal should end with something sweet.

I eat whatever I want. I can get away with it. There are some strict regiment eatings, but I don't follow them.
