Quotes of 1931

Quotes taken from the authors in 1931

I just think we shouldn't get into counting coaches' records. I've never been for that... but I know that's just American society.

If you make every game a life and death proposition, you're going to have problems. For one thing, you'll be dead a lot.

I always mean what I say, but I don't always say what I'm thinking.

I do believe in praising that which deserves to be praised.

I enjoy basketball. I enjoy coaching basketball. It's the out-of-season stuff I didn't handle well.

Somebody once asked me if I ever went up to the plate trying to hit a home run. I said, 'Sure, every time.'

If I knew I was going to live this long, I'd have taken better care of myself.

After I hit a home run I had a habit of running the bases with my head down. I figured the pitcher already felt bad enough without me showing him up rounding the bases.

It's unbelievable how much you don't know about the game you've been playing all your life.

He who has the fastest golf cart never has a bad lie.

There is far more opportunity than there is ability.

Thomas Alva Edison

Great ideas originate in the muscles.

Thomas Alva Edison

To have a great idea, have a lot of them.

Thomas Alva Edison

His genius he was quite content in one brief sentence to define; Of inspiration one percent, of perspiration, ninety nine.

Thomas Alva Edison

What you are will show in what you do.

Thomas Alva Edison

Every time I look at my pocketbook, I see Jackie Robinson.

And my father didn't have money for me to go to college. And at that particular time they didn't have black quarterbacks, and I don't think I could have made it in basketball, because I was only 5' 11". So I just picked baseball.

It's not hard. When I'm not hitting, I don't hit nobody. But when I'm hitting, I hit anybody.

I would try and help everybody, because the game was so easy for me. It was just like walking in the park.

Maybe I was born to play ball. Maybe I truly was.
