You don't protect Mark McGwire. The only way to protect him is hit 70 homers yourself.

Everyone would like to play in their hometown, but right now I like Cincinnati, I like the way it's going. I'm happy.

It takes a lot of energy to be negative. You have to work at it. But smiling is painless. I'd rather spend my energy smiling.

Life is too short to worry about anything

Life is too short to worry about anything. You had better enjoy it because the next day promises nothing.

I'm having a good time. I'm going to treat every game and every day as if they are my last because I now know that they could be.

Never give up and don't ask why because every situation does not need an answer. I'm a firm believer that I don't worry about anything I can't control.

Just putting my uniform on keeps me going. Being able to get out there keeps me going. That's the best therapy.

I don't listen to what people say about me and I don't read what they write about me. People can compare me to anyone they want to, but I'm not going to worry about it.

I don't even take aspirin.

Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens.

I wouldn’t say I’ve become more radical: I was born radical.

People want to watch whatever video they want to watch whenever they want to watch. If you provision your Internet infrastructure adequately, you can do that.

Read nature; nature is a friend to truth.

Farm animals feel pleasure and sadness, excitement and resentment, depression, fear, and pain. They are far more aware and intelligent than we ever imagined...they are individuals in their own right.

A line I like to use is, "Every day is training. Every day of life is a pursuit of perfection."

Thoughts there are, that need no embodying, no form, no expression. It is enough to hint at them vaguely; a word, and they are heard and seen.

All life depends on organic reactions. A favorite saying.

If you find yourself stuck in the middle there is only one way to go, forward.

What I tell everyone, and I really do for myself is, I have a long-run dream, which is I want to work on stuff that I think matters.
