The most fun I ever had in my life was hittin' a baseball. And the best sound I ever heard in my life was a ball hit with a bat. Powww!

Baseball is the only field of endeavor where a man can succeed three times out of ten and be considered a good performer.

I've found in life the more you practice, the better you get. If you want something enough and work hard to get it, your chances of success are greater.

No one has come up with a substitute for hard work.

A man has to have goals - for a day, for a lifetime - and that was mine, to have people say, 'There goes Ted Williams, the greatest hitter who ever lived.'

Just keep going. Everybody gets better if they keep at it.

I've found that you don't need to wear a necktie if you can hit.

Baseball gives every American boy a chance to excel, not just to be as good as someone else but to be better than someone else. This is the nature of man and the name of the game.

The hardest thing to do in baseball is to hit a round baseball with a round bat, squarely.

There's only one way to become a hitter. Go up to the plate and get mad. Get mad at yourself and mad at the pitcher.

If you don't think too good, don't think too much.

It is in the nest of disappointment where depression lays its eggs.

Pitting your dream against someone else's is a fantastic way to get discouraged and depressed.

Now, what’s stirring in this murky sea of complexity and foolishness is an almost suffocating need to breathe fresh history.

I've made a decision and now I must face the consequences.

Never worry about bad press. All that matters is if they spell your name right.

Save the stonewall to build the levees.

If January is the month of change, February is the month of lasting change. January is for dreamers... February is for doers -

If you act like a rock star, you will be treated like one

I'm not perfect, but those flaws make an interesting person.

Beauty is a frail good.
