I don't believe a manager ever won a pennant. Casey Stengel won all those pennants with the Yankees. How many did he win with the Boston Braves and Mets?

A baseball manager is a necessary evil.

Baseball is a simple game. If you have good players and if you keep them in the right frame of mind then the manager is a success.

Over the years, I've trained myself to speak using the same language I would use if I were typing: meaning using full sentences in the way that paragraphs and scenes are arranged.

I hope America can also be the cultural leader of the world, and use this frontier spirit to lead and show others that we need courage to go places where we have not gone before.

At the same time, I would add that the American people have a lot of courage.

We need to find the courage to say NO to the things and people that are not serving us if we want to rediscover ourselves and live our lives with authenticity.

The real act of marriage takes place in the heart, not in the ballroom or church or synagogue. It's a choice you make - not just on your wedding day, but over and over again - and that choice is reflected in the way you treat your husband or wife.

Marriage is not a noun; it's a verb. It isn't something you get. It's something you do. It's the way you love your partner every day.

My great hope is to laugh as much as I cry; to get my work done and try to love somebody and have the courage to accept the love in return.

One isn't necessarily born with courage, but one is born with potential. Without courage, we cannot practice any other virtue with consistency. We can't be kind, true, merciful, generous, or honest.

Courage is the most important of all the virtues, because without courage you can't practice any other virtue consistently. You can practice any virtue erratically, but nothing consistently without courage.

History, despite its wrenching pain, cannot be unlived, but if faced with courage, need not be lived again.

I had this talent for these stupid little teenage songs.

I think it is a mistake to identify a movie according to its language, as if movies were literature.

When a French book becomes an international hit it is because of the author and not because of the language. The same goes for movies.

The art of motion pictures is pictorial and language comes a distant second.

Men create real miracles when they use their God-given courage and intelligence.

It takes a certain courage and a certain greatness to be truly base.

Tragedy is restful: and the reason is that hope, that foul, deceitful thing, has no part in it.
