When you come to a fork in the road…. take it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can observe a lot by just watching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It ain’t over till it’s over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We made too many wrong mistakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No one goes there nowadays; it\u2019s too crowded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I always thought the record would stand until it was broken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Love is the most important thing in the world, but baseball is pretty good, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In theory there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice there is.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pair up in threes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You’ve got to be very careful if you don’t know where you are going, because you might not get there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The future ain\u2019t what it used to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I usually take a two-hour nap from 1 to 4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the world was perfect, it wouldn’t be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You don\u2019t have to swing hard to hit a home run. If you got the timing, it\u2019ll go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ninety percent of the game is half mental.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Baseball is 90% mental, and the other half is physical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Never answer an anonymous letter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why buy good luggage? You only use it when you travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take it with a grin of salt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It gets late early out here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I never said most of the things I said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s like d\u00e9j\u00e0 vu all over again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 A nickel ain\u2019t worth a dime anymore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Always go to other people\u2019s funerals, otherwise they won\u2019t come to yours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You better cut the pizza in four pieces because I\u2019m not hungry enough to eat six.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You wouldn\u2019t have won if we\u2019d beaten you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slump? I ain\u2019t in no slump\u2026 I just ain\u2019t hitting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How can you think and hit at the same time?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the people don\u2019t want to come out to the ballpark, nobody\u2019s going to stop them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have deep depth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even Napoleon had his Watergate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bill Dickey is learning me his experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He hits from both sides of the plate. He\u2019s amphibious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was impossible to get a conversation going, everybody was talking too much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don\u2019t know (if they were men or women fans running naked across the field). They had bags over their heads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m a lucky guy and I\u2019m happy to be with the Yankees. And I want to thank everyone for making this night necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m not going to buy my kids an encyclopedia. Let them walk to school like I did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I never blame myself when I\u2019m not hitting. I just blame the bat and if it keeps up, I change bats. After all, if I know it isn\u2019t my fault that I\u2019m not hitting, how can I get mad at myself?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It ain\u2019t the heat, it\u2019s the humility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you ask me anything I don\u2019t know, I\u2019m not going to answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, I\u2019m ugly. I never saw anyone hit with his face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We were overwhelming underdogs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The towels were so thick there I could hardly close my suitcase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Little League baseball is a very good thing because it keeps the parents off the streets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m lucky. Usually, you\u2019re dead to get your own museum, but I\u2019m still alive to see mine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If I didn\u2019t make it in baseball, I won\u2019t have made it workin\u2019. I didn\u2019t like to work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pie a la mode, with ice cream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wish I had an answer to that because I’m tired of answering that question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You tell the stupidest questions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
