Babe Ruth

"The way a team plays as a whole determines its success. You may have the greatest bunch of individual stars, but if they don't play together, the club won't be worth a dime."

"It's hard to beat a person who never gives up."

"Every strike brings me closer to the next home run."

"You just can't beat the person who never gives up."

"Don't let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game."

"It ain't over till it's over."

"Never let the fear of striking out get in your way."

"I swing big, with everything I've got. I hit big or I miss big."

"Yesterday's home runs don't win today's games."

"All I can do is be me, whoever that is."

"The pitcher has got only a ball. I've got a bat. So the percentage in weapons is in my favor."

"Keeping your eyes on the ball is a lot less complicated than life."

"Never make predictions, especially about the future."

"If I ever saw an ungrateful son-of-a-bitch, I'm looking at him right now."

"You know how hard it is to live on twenty-five hundred dollars a year?"

"I have only one superstition. I make sure to touch all the bases when I hit a home run."

"The only real game in the world is baseball."

"It's just a game, and the object is to win it."

"Every American boy should be taught to play baseball."

"You've got to think big to be big."

"I never blame myself when I'm not hitting. I just blame the bat."

"Hell, I never learned anything by going to school."

"Fame shouldn't go to your head or down to your wallet."

"If you're not doing what you love, you're wasting your time."

"The way to become great is to act great."

"Picking a good woman is as important as picking a good bat."

"Keep your eye on the ball and play the game hard."

"You have two choices in life: you can like what you do, or you can dislike it."

"I just love the game. I love it."

"I'll promise you this: I will never embarrass you."
