Quotes of 1929

Quotes taken from the authors in 1929

A manager has his cards dealt to him and he must play them.

We have eyes, and we're looking at stuff all the time, all day long. And I just think that whatever our eyes touch should be beautiful, tasteful, appealing, and important.

One day I think it's the greatest idea ever that I'm working on. The next day I think it's the worst that I've ever worked on - and I swing between that a lot. Some days I'm very happy with what I'm doing, and the next day I am desperate - it's not working out!

Let's put it this way: if you are a novelist, I think you start out with a 20 word idea, and you work at it and you wind up with a 200,000 word novel. We, picture-book people, or at least I, start out with 200,000 words and I reduce it to 20.

They are deceptively simple. I admit that. But for me, all my life I try to simplify things. As a child in school, things were very hard for me to understand often, and I developed a knack, I think. I developed a process to simplify things so I would understand them.

The hardest part is developing the idea, and that can take years.

There are three secrets to managing. The first secret is have patience. The second is be patient. And the third most important secret is patience.

What you have to remember is that baseball isn't a week or a month but a season - and a season is a long time.

If you don't like the way the Atlanta Braves are playing then you don't like baseball.

I don't think a manager should be judged by whether he wins the pennant, but by whether he gets the most out of the twenty-five men he's been given.

Having Willie Stargell on your ball club is like having a diamond ring on your finger.

Probably the best thing that happened to me was going nuts. Nobody knew who I was until that happened.

I didn't mind if they yelled at me, but when they came on the field, it was a different story.

I've had 117 fights and that's the first time I've ever won.

You touch me and I'll kick you in the rear.

I'm the gooney bird that walked to the bank. I'm doing better than most of those guys who said I was crazy.

Sometimes a week might go by when I don't think about that game, but I don't remember when it happened last.

When it was over, I was so happy, I felt like crying. I wanted to win this one for Casey. After what I did in Brooklyn, he could have forgotten about me and who would blame him? But he gave me another chance and I'm grateful.

You must play boldly to win.

I have a tip that will take five strokes off anyone's golf game. It's called an eraser.
