As soon as you get traded, you kind of start thinking where you're going to live, your family, you have to pack.

But hitting is so crazy. You feel great today and get three hits. And the next day you show up and it's, 'What happened to my mechanics? Where's my swing?' Sometimes I even Google it and the search comes up with no results.

I know where my game is. I know I'm a power hitter and an RBI guy. I need to get on base for my teammates behind me and just stick with my game. I don't try to do too much. Sometimes when you try to do too much in this game you pretty much can't do anything. And that's pretty much my mentality.

Courage and conviction are powerful weapons against an enemy who depends only on fists or guns. Animals know when you are afraid; a coward knows when you are not.

Nature is at work. Character and destiny are her handiwork. She gives us love and hate, jealousy and reverence. All that is ours is the power to choose which impulse we shall follow.

Love... Force it and it disappears. You cannot will love, nor even control it. You can only guide its expression. It comes or it goes according to those qualities in life that invite it or deny its presence.

Enthusiasm is the best protection in any situation. Wholeheartedness is contagious. Give yourself, if you wish to get others.

He who doesn't consider himself is seldom considerate of others.

Intellectual comradeship requires that you think your thoughts through to the place where you can make the complex seem simple, the obscure quite clear.

Good humor isn't a trait of character, it is an art which requires practice.

If you give yourself to your task at once, you won't have to do it twice.

Manage yourself first and others will take your orders.

No man will work for your interests unless they are his.

The fact, if they are there, speak for themselves.

Try out your ideas by visualizing them in action.

Your desires and true beliefs have a way of playing blind man's bluff. You must corner the inner facts.
