If I’d married someone in show business, there’d be too much competition.

In college, a loss is pretty devastating. That feeling kind of goes away in an 82-game season. You hate to lose, but you also have a lot more games to make up for it.

Fortune is like the market, where, many times, if you can stay a little, the price will fall.

When love and skill work together, expect a masterpiece.

Luck is a matter of preparation meeting opportunity.

Folks don’t like to have somebody around knowing more than they do.

Anybody with ability can play in the big leagues. But to be able to trick people year in and year out the way I did, I think that was a much greater feat.

Luck is a very thin wire between survival and disaster, and not many people can keep their balance on it.

Serious sport has nothing to do with fair play. It is bound up with hatred, jealousy, boastfulness, disregard of all rules and sadistic pleasure in witnessing violence. In other words, it is war minus the shooting.

I think the positive competition between states in India is one of the most positive dynamics that the country has.

Men rise from one ambition to another: first, they seek to secure themselves against attack, and then they attack others.

With all the… success that I’ve been lucky enough to get? That doesn’t happen unless the home life is solid.

Baseball is like a poker game. Nobody wants to quit when he’s losing; nobody wants you to quit when you’re ahead.
