The riches of the game are in the thrills, not the money.

The measure of a man is in the lives he’s touched.

Work? I never worked a day in my life. I always loved what I was doing, had a passion for it.

People ask me a lot about the values I got from playing for the Cubs for so many years. The value I got out of it was patience. A lot of people these days are not very patient.

Another friend hired me to open doors for him in the moving and relocation business. I did that for 10 years, am still doing it. And I do some work for the Cubs, in community relations.

The Cubs are gonna shine in sixty-nine.

It's a great day for a ball game; let's play two!

Loyalty and friendship, which is to me the same, created all the wealth that I've ever thought I'd have.

Like some wines our love could neither mature nor travel.

The things taught in schools and colleges are not an education but the means of education.

Costumes and scenery alone will not attract audiences.

An idea might spark an essay, but never a story.

I am not one of those artists who is cemented in one way. I am able to, you know, make the happy, jovial, lighthearted music too. We need that in life too. So it's like that to me.

I want people to say, "Oh my God, I'm laughing out loud at television."

If you own a machine, you are in turn owned by it, and spend your time serving it.

I know that I want to wait for something that I really feel great about.

You'll be happy to know that the universal law that created miracles hasn't been repealed.
