My best advice to you — shut up.
We’ve been devastated by the severest and deadliest drought in history – that of our profound awareness of the futility of all effort and the vanity of all plans.
It's been a long time since I've been me.
If you cannot live alone, you were born a slave.
Life is full of paradoxes, as roses are of thorns.
I always live in the present. I don’t know the future and no longer have the past. The former oppresses me as the possibility of everything, the latter as the reality of nothing.

I managed 26 years and found out when I retired I didn't own the game. I thought I owned it when I was managing all those years.

That mountain is only owned by one single person, and he'll never give it up. That's the way baseball is.
