Quotes of 1949

Quotes taken from the authors in 1949

If you're asking your kids to exercise, then you better do it, too. Practice what you preach.

If you are dyslexic, your eyes work fine, your brain works fine, but there is a little short circuit in the wire that goes between the eye and the brain. Reading is not a fluid process.

I always felt that my greatest asset was not my physical ability, it was my mental ability.

If I wasn't dyslexic, I probably wouldn't have won the Games. If I had been a better reader, then that would have come easily, sports would have come easily... and I never would have realized that the way you get ahead in life is hard work.

The biggest problem with dyslexic kids is not the perceptual problem, it is their perception of themselves. That was my biggest problem.

Baseball is a game of averages, but over a short period of time, to have a little luck going is not a bad thing.

I'd rather not, but if it will help the club, I'll do it. My ankle injury still bothers me sometimes.

Baseball's what I do.

I feel like I'm walking on eggs and can't take another step.

I don't have the acting skills my daughter has.

I think I have already signed some scrap of paper for every man, woman, and child in the United States. What do they do with all those scraps of paper with my signature on it?

I keep telling myself, don't get cocky. Give your services to the press and the media, be nice to the kids, throw a baseball into the stands once in a while.

It's a weird scene. You win a few baseball games and all of a sudden you're surrounded by reporters and TV men with cameras asking you about Vietnam and race relations.

Sometimes in this game it's as good to be lucky as it is to be good.

Sometimes thinking too much can destroy your momentum.

A lot of guys who have never choked have never been in the position to do so.

I'd rather fight 100 structure fires than a wildfire. With a structure fire you know where your flames are, but in the woods it can move anywhere; it can come right up behind you.

No other game combines the wonder of nature with the discipline of sport in such carefully planned ways. A great golf course both frees and challenges a golfer's mind.

If a course needs to be in great condition to be played effectively, then the design strategy is flawed.

I'm not sure where my career is going here in Cincinnati.
