There was no respect for youth when I was young, and now that I am old, there is no respect for age--I missed it coming and going.

I wanted to be on the mound at the end of the game. I had a lot of respect for guys who did it and who did it for a long time and I wanted to be out there and get my chance to show them I could do that.

It is disgraceful to live at the cost of one's self-respect. Self-respect is the most vital factor in life. Without it, man is a cipher. To live worthily with self-respect, one has to overcome difficulties. It is out of hard and ceaseless struggle alone that one derives strength, confidence and recognition.

Without self-respect there can be no genuine success. Success won at the cost of self-respect is not success ¾ for what shall it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses his own self-respect.
