I can't recall a day this year or last when I did not hear the name of Babe Ruth.

What's scary in life is not what people know (or don't know), but what they know that isn't so.

Don't pray when it rains if you don't pray when the sun shines.

Work like you don't need the money. Love like you've never been hurt. Dance like nobody's watching.

Smile well and often, it makes people wonder what you've been up to.

Don't look back. Something might be gaining on you.

How old would you be if you didn't know how old you are?

Never let your head hang down. Never give up and sit down and grieve. Find another way.

If I knew exactly what I know now and had it to do over, I'd be a switch hitter. No telling what I could have done.

I'm sure glad this isn't my home ball park.

I came to the Braves on business, and I intended to see that business was good as long as I could.

Baseball needs me because it needs somebody to stir the pot, and I need it because it's my life. It's the means I have to make a little difference in the world.

Looking at the ball going over the fence isn't going to help.

Whatever we do, make sure we clean up baseball.

Last year, I was sort of a kid and I was a little scared, I ain't scared anymore.

The triple is the most exciting play in baseball. Home runs win a lot of games, but I never understood why fans are so obsessed with them.

There is no such thing as a bed of roses all your life.

Can I smoke now without someone taking my picture?

I don't feel right unless I have a sport to play or at least a way to work up a sweat.
