• Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence wins championships.
• I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can’t accept not trying.
• My attitude is that if you push me towards something that you think is a weakness, then I will turn that perceived weakness into a strength.
• You must expect great things of yourself before you can do them.
• To be successful you have to be selfish, or else you never achieve. And once you get to your highest level, then you have to be unselfish. Stay reachable. Stay in touch. Don’t isolate.
• Obstacles don’t have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don’t turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.
• Always turn a negative situation into a positive situation.
• Never say never, because limits, like fears, are often just an illusion.
• You have to expect things of yourself before you can do them.
• Every time I feel tired while I am exercising and training, I close my eyes to see that picture, to see that list with my name. This usually motivates me to work again.

• Life is like a piano. What you get out of it depends on how you play it.
• Always predict the worst, and you’ll be hailed as a prophet.
• I find that if you take the various popular song forms to their logical extremes, you can arrive at almost anything from the ridiculous to the obscene-or, as they say in New York, sophisticated.
• If you asked me to write a rock song or a rap song, I couldn’t do it because they’re not in my fingers.
• I’m not an original composer. The tunes are not stolen from other tunes necessarily except in a few cases, but they’re in the style of songs that I grew up with.
• We are the folk song army, every one of us cares. We all hate poverty, war, and injustice unlike the rest of you squares.
• Well I wasn’t really attacking the religious beliefs, I was attacking the formality of the rituals of the Catholic church; however, people took it wrongly.
• If, after hearing my songs, just one human being is inspired to say something nasty to a friend, or perhaps to strike a loved one, it will all have been worth the while.
• The people who came to hear me perform or to buy my records were not the type who would be offended. But I gather that there were other people who were offended.
• I’m very proud of myself on my, whatever the literacy is, I’m pretentious, totally pretentious. I like to say ‘hmm’, for example.

• Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.
• Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.
• To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.
• Education is an admirable thing, but it is well to remember from time to time that nothing that is worth knowing can be taught.
• The public is wonderfully tolerant. It forgives everything except genius.
• Some cause happiness wherever they go; others whenever they go.
• A cynic is a man who knows the price of everything, and the value of nothing.
• All women become like their mothers. That is their tragedy. No man does, and that is his.
• I don’t want to be at the mercy of my emotions. I want to use them, to enjoy them, and to dominate them.
• It is absurd to divide people into good and bad. People are either charming or tedious.

• Baseball games are like snowflakes and fingerprints, no two are ever alike.
• “Hardly anybody recognizes the most significant moments of their life at the time they happen.
• Growing up is a ritual, more deadly than religion, more complicated than baseball, for there seem to be no rules. Everything is experienced for the first time.
• Other people get into occupations by accident or design; but writers are born. I could work at selling motels, or slopping hogs, for fifty years, but if someone asked my occupation, I’d say writer, even if I’d never sold a word. Writers write. Other people talk.
• The crack of the bat, the sound of baseballs thumping into gloves, the infield chatter are like birdsong to the baseball starved.
• America has been erased like a blackboard, only to be rebuilt and then erased again. But baseball has marked time while America has rolled by like a procession of steamrollers.
• My intuition told me that it was the grass that was important.Now it glows parrot-green, cool as mint, soft as moss, lying there like a cashmere blanket.
• Most people write a lot of autobiography, but when I came to write autobiography I discovered that nothing interesting had ever happened to me. So I had to take the situation and invent stories to go with it.
• Baseball is meant to be a contemplative game. They play music to draw young people to the game. If young people can’t come to the game without music, then they should stay home.

• In a way, you’ve already won in this world because you’re the only one who can be you.
• The world needs a sense of worth, and it will achieve it only by its people feeling that they are worthwhile.
• You can’t really love someone else unless you really love yourself first.
• Imagining something may be the first step in making it happen, but it takes the real time and real efforts of real people to learn things, make things, turn thoughts into deeds or visions into inventions.
• I’m proud of you for the times you came in second, or third, or fourth, but what you did was the best you had ever done.
• There are three ways to ultimate success: The first way is to be kind. The second way is to be kind. The third way is to be kind.
• Often out of periods of losing come the greatest strivings toward a new winning streak.
• Whatever we choose to imagine can be as private as we want it to be. Nobody knows what you’re thinking or feeling unless you share it.
• Often, problems are knots with many strands, and looking at those strands can make a problem seem different.
• Even though no human being is perfect, we always have the chance to bring what’s unique about us to life in a redeeming way.
