Quotes taken from the authors in 1944

When you think about what the odds are to have four boys to not only be able to follow in the footsteps in a basketball career but to also be good in the secondary career as far as the broadcasting, it's pretty remarkable.

They have so fundamentally flawed techniques it's ridiculous. They shoot the ball flat. They all stand upright, there's just so many things they do incorrectly.

Remember, you and you alone are responsible for maintaining your energy. Give up blaming, complaining and excuse making, and keep taking action in the direction of your goals - however mundane or lofty they may be.

When you scratch the surface, every one of us has something that we deeply want to contribute to the world. All we have to do is step up and do it.

I was probably in the best shape of any athlete at the time, but you don't get to pass judgment on yourself.

To pick up the paper and read about yourself getting slammed, that doesn't start your day off right.

But I would say basically, I would just like to be remembered for what I did on the field.

I trained myself to perform on the field.

The final release point for the fastball is the tips of your fingers.

Decadence is wonderful.

If you got what it takes, you'll make it. If you don't, Shakespeare couldn't help you.

Jack L. Chalker
