This is like a tribute to them, the people who helped me to get here. The thing that makes me feel good about the whole thing is, the fans voted me here.

I have a motto: Work to become, not to acquire.

Never change a winning game; always change a losing one.

I think today the players are too nice to one another, but that might change with the unbalanced schedule, with teams playing each other more and more. When you face each other that much, with...

I don’t understand it. Jack will spend any amount of money to buy votes but he balks at investing a thousand dollars in a beautiful painting.

If my soldiers were to begin to think, not one of them would remain in the army.

Don’t be too proud to take lessons. I’m not.

I think we’re going in the right direction.

There’s the typical books, Moby Dick and, I guess in my adult life I began to read biographies more than fiction. I started to want to relate to other people’s lives, things that had really...

My biggest weakness is my sensitivity. I am too sensitive a person.

I think I’ll take a bath in his blood.

We on our part will stick to our independent foreign policy of peace, acting forever as a strong defender of world peace and a persistent proponent of common development.

I personally developed the Academy training program. All our training is based on solid educational principles. We present the material in four training formats: lecture, demonstration, drill, and implementation.

Friendships born on the field of athletic strife are the real gold of competition. Awards become corroded, friends gather no dust.

Everyone wants to beat us. So you can never take a single game lightly.

So when you put the kick in and the other runners go past you, it’s game over!

I’m taking T.O., every day… He gives me the whole football field.

I played the game one way. I gave it everything I had. It doesn’t take any ability to hustle.

It just wasn’t right the way they were behind by 25 points and then they’re told to hold the ball.

I’m happy out of my mind. I like beating a lot of people.

In preseason camp, there are no friends. when newcomers arrive trying to take not only your job, but maybe your best friend’s job, you work together to try to help each other. Everyone is an...

When I went to college, we had a very good local following, but stations only televised two or three NCAA games a season. And when I went to Europe, once in a while we had...

I feel like football players are overworked and underpaid compared to any other sports.

If the Mets can win the World Series, the United States can get out of Vietnam.

I don’t compete with other discus throwers. I compete with my own history.

Every race I run in is in preparation for the Indianapolis 500. Indy is the most important thing in my life. It is what I live for.

I don’t want people kissing my butt. If I had a bad show and I know it, don’t tell me I had a good show. I hate that. I guess because I’m 17, people think...

Most of us who aspire to be tops in our fields don’t really consider the amount of work required to stay tops.

You can ask anybody in the room. My numbers are the worst in here but I’m still a jerk to everybody, yelling at everybody, getting them going. Once I get it back, then I’ll be...

Then you figure out that if you don’t throw it as hard as you can, you can put it where you want. It’s more important where you put it.

I won twenty-eight games in thirty-five and I couldn’t believe my eyes when the Cards sent me a contract with a cut in salary. Mr Rickey said I deserved a cut because I didn’t win...

I don’t think Hank’s home run record will ever be broken. There’s no way.

Sometimes the biggest problem is in your head. You’ve got to believe you can play a shot instead of wondering where your next bad shot is coming from.

If a player demonstrated that he is the best, and a team decides, even so, we don’t want to pay him, as in any other business, he should be able to play elsewhere.

My role models in the business were the older guys on my team when I first got there: Gray Scott, Adrian Smith, Roland Taylor. These were the guys who took me under their wing, and...

You come home, and you party. But after that, you get a hangover. Everything about that is negative.

I’m the biggest fighter in the history of the sport. If you don’t believe it, check the cash register.

Probably the best part of my life has been watching the kids play their games.

I had a great first year and Mr. MacDonald was my biggest supporter. He gave me the encouragement I needed that first year to get my career started on a positive note.

I have the opportunity to be part of swimming history. To take the sport to a new level would be an honor for me. There’s no better time to try this than now.

If the entire team can feel the same way about these things, you can consistently remain a winner.

By the mid-sixties, the United States had poured more than half a million troops into South Vietnam.

And I can remember walking off the airplane in Houston, coming home from Atlanta, and it probably being the lowest day in my career.

I loved the feeling of freedom in running, the fresh air, the feeling that the only person I’m competing with is me.

I was so worried about winning, it was as if I was caught up in my own web.

When I began playing the game, baseball was about as gentlemanly as a kick in the crotch.

My sport taught me what I could do with my talents, whether in the rink or in the rest of my life.

Somebody may beat me, but they are going to have to bleed to do it.

I always hated to throw a guy out of a game but sometimes it was necessary to keep order.

Why do I jave to be an example for your kid? You be an example for your own kid.
