Reading isn’t good for a ballplayer. Not good for his eyes. If my eyes went bad even a little bit I couldn’t hit home runs. So I gave up reading.

Wealth is always attracted, never pursued.

Let me show you how it’s done… Loser!

It’s hard to beat a person that never gives up.

Don’t let the fear of striking out hold you back.

I had only one superstition. I made sure to touch all the bases when I hit a home run.

Who is richer? The man who is seen, but cannot see? Or the man who is not being seen, but can see?

I’ll promise to go easier on drinking and to get to bed earlier, but not for you, fifty thousand dollars, or two-hundred and fifty thousand dollars will I give up women. They’re too much fun.

All ballplayers should quit when it starts to feel as if all the baselines run uphill.

Don’t ever forget two things I’m going to tell you. One, don’t believe everything that’s written about you. Two, don’t pick up too many checks.

Yesterday‘s home runs don’t win today‘s games.

How about a little noise. How do you expect a man to putt?

Gee, its lonesome in the outfield. It’s hard to keep awake with nothing to do.

If I’d just tried for them dinky singles I could‘ve batted around .600.

Paris ain’t much of a town.

I learned early to drink beer, wine and whiskey. And I think I was about 5 when I first chewed tobacco.

As soon as I got out there I felt a strange relationship with the pitcher‘s mound. It was as if I’d been born out there. Pitching just felt like the most natural thing in the world. Striking out batters was easy.

I won‘t be happy until we have every boy in America between the ages of six and sixteen wearing a glove and swinging a bat.

Don’t be afraid to take advice. There’s always something new to learn.

Life is a game like any other; we just don’t take it as seriously.

I swing big, with everything I’ve got. I hit big or I miss big. I like to live as big as I can.

The way a team plays as a whole determines its success. You may have the greatest bunch of individual stars in the world, but if they don’t play together, the club won’t be worth a dime.

Baseball changes through the years. It gets milder.

I’d give a year of my life if I could hit a homerun on opening day of this great new park.

Baseball was, is and always will be to me the best game in the world.

A part of control is learning to correct your weaknesses.

All I can tell them is pick a good one and sock it. I get back to the dugout and they ask me what it was I hit and I tell them I don’t know except it looked good.

Heroes get remembered, but legends never die.

If you want to hit home runs, you’ve go to swing a lot.

Read about your case of amnesia. Must be a new brand.
