Failure Is Part Of Success.

I Think What Separates A Superstar From The Average Ballplayer Is That He Concentrates Just A Little Bit Longer.

You May Not Think You're Going To Make It. You May Want To Quit. But If You Keep Your Eye On The Ball, You Can Accomplish Anything.

I Need To Depend On Someone Who Is Bigger, Stronger And Wiser Than I Am. I Don't Do It On My Own. God Is My Strength. He Gave Me A Good Body And Some Talent And The Freedom To Develop It. He Helps Me When Things Go Wrong. He Forgives Me When I Fall On My Face. He Lights The Way.

You've Got To Remember, The Older You Get The Slower You Get. I've Seen A Lot Of Players Get Old ... If I Can Have A Good Season In 1972 And Come Back With Another Good One, Well, That's Different. I Might Not Quit. But Two Bad Ones Back To Back And Staying Home Would Be Written On The Wall.

I Had Just Turned 20, And Jackie Told Me The Only Way To Be Successful At Anything Was To Go Out And Do It. He Said Baseball Was A Game You Played Every Day, Not Once A Week.
