Quotes of 1961

Quotes taken from the authors in 1961

If you ask any great player or great quarterback, there's a certain inner confidence that you're as good as anybody. But you can't say who is the absolute best. To be considered is special in itself.

It's nice to feel the fans are behind you. You shouldn't concern yourself with things like that - but it does matter.

I know I've got to just keep throwing the ball. That's what I do best.

You can do more, you can always do more.

I've been a Dolphin for 17 years, and I'll be a Dolphin for the rest of my life. That will never change.

Even good people are obliged to deceive.

Testing, we will never do enough of it.

Racing is a very selfish, self-centred, self-glorifying thing. My wife's life for 14 years was centered around me. It was all about me. It was all for my ego.

It is cycling as a professional sport that represents the problem. It can transform someone into a liar.

Baseball is a red-blooded sport for red-blooded men. It's no pink tea, and mollycoddles had better stay out. It's a struggle for supremacy, a survival of the fittest.

The great trouble with baseball today is that most of the players are in the game for the money and that's it, not for the love of it, the excitement of it, the thrill of it.

I may have been fierce, but never low or underhand.

The crowd makes the ballgame.

Speed is a great asset; but it's greater when it's combined with quickness - and there's a big difference.

I believe in the players and what I've put together and we'll make it work.

Most players in this league say they want consistency.

It was important to me to believe, because if I don't believe, how can I expect them to believe?
