I’ve talked to guys who have played for the Phillies and gone on to other organizations and the grass isn’t always greener on the other side.

I know it sounds stupid and cliche, but I just want to get better. I want to keep improving.

Hitting at the top of the order is a good thing. You get more at-bats. I'm excited to see how this develops.

I've always been taught to play the game hard. Baseball is such a tough game, it really humbles you at times, you just have to try not to get too high or too low.

I figured out that there are occasions where you have to get pumped up and take charge, situations where you have to have fun and situations where you need to settle down.

Distress is a disease of the mind.

need is not demand. Effective economic demand requires not merely need but corresponding purchasing power.

If the Mormon Church still supported polygamy, and if it appeared to be a system that was not exploitative of women, I wouldn't feel that it's my place to forbid it.

If you compromise in any kind of movement or any kind of wave of revolution, if you sort of play the game, things are gonna change far more slowly than you need them to.

For me, Europe consists of three things: sovereignty, unity and democracy.

Whatever moisture is left in the popcorn when it gets from harvest to bag to your popper is what's going to determine how well the corn pops.

It's nice to be financially secure. Apart from that, I really don't care too much about money.

We must know the measure of a man's desires before we can sound the depth of his regrets.
