I've done enough wrong on my own, I don't want to get blamed for something I didn't do.

If you can get an out on one pitch, take it. Let the strikeouts come on the outstanding pitches. Winning is the big thing. If you throw a lot of pitches, before you know it, your arm is gone.

When I went back to Shea last year it really hit me how much the fans care for me, it still gives me goose bumps. I want to do the right thing for them and my family.

My first year in baseball, there were only one or two reporters. My second year, I got to the Triple-A playoffs, there were four or five. When I came up in 1984, I never saw so many people.

I love the fans and I appreciate how much they care for me.

Everywhere I go, your beauty spills into my day. The trees were never this verdant. The birdsong never this sweet.

Stand up for your conscience. Use light to reveal what is concealed in the darkness. Use truth to fight the lies, and the heart to fight the mind.

It's not about the speed of the river, but flow of the current.

Better silent than stupid.

The IT model of the enterprise has become a lot more user lead.

It is not good enough to say, "Well, hey, I vote every two years. I vote every four years." That's fine, but that is not good enough.

Guilt is tricky because we confuse it with caring. ... It's the next best thing to being there.

I think for any writer, creating and controlling your own property is the ultimate dream.

The roster that we have today may change tomorrow. It is what it is for right now.

Were it my cue to fight, I should have known it Without a prompter.
