Quotes of 1956

Quotes taken from the authors in 1956

Concentrate, play your game, and don't be afraid to win.

I don't think the philosophy really changes between men and women. I think golf courses need to become more distance-friendly overall. I think golf courses almost need to develop a more generic set of tees instead of calling them black, blue, red or whatever.

You could argue that if the average golfer plays a golf course with 430-yard par 4s and they always miss the green, that's good practice. It's definitely great practice to play a course that's too long for you.

Don't give advice unless you're asked.

Golf isn't just about hitting a lot of drivers. I grew up playing on my front lawn, chipping and putting into soup cans, out of the ivy and over rose bushes and hedges - the little Alcott Golf and Country Club. I just loved having a wedge in my hands.

Muhammad Ali was the kind of guy you either loved or hated, but you wanted to see him. I happen to really love him. He brought boxing to another level and always made you laugh.

By the time you're 30 years old, you can be on a nowhere street, if you're not careful.

The bad press came because they thought I should fight more. I couldn't get the fights because if I would sign to fight one of King's guys I would be signed to him. I chose not to do that. In hindsight, that might have been a mistake.

I lost three times in my career. Losing to Holmes I could deal with, because I lost to a true champion.

I am involved in minor league baseball. I go around the country speaking to troubled youths, trying to help them understand that whatever path they choose, they'll need to really pay attention to it.

If you live what you believe, you will always have the respect of others.

I don't agree with everything that any of our political leaders say or believe - that's going to happen sometimes.

Eddie Haas talked a lot about not hitting the ball in the air.

It's always great when you're really needed.

Maybe I am naive about certain things. But I'm glad. I know all I want to know.

I learned life from some good teachers.

And like I said, I appreciate my older brothers because they would not allow me to win. They made me learn to play with them, which I think is the most important thing that I learned.

You win as a team, you lose as a team, you also do so many things together.

Baseball is a team game.

For me, baseball is about, again, the team winning.
