Satchel Paige

Don't look back. Something might be gaining on you.

Don't pray when it rains if you don't pray when the sun shines.

Money and women. They're two of the strongest things in the world. The things you do for a woman you wouldn't do for anything else. Same with money.

Work like you don't need the money. Love like you've never been hurt. Dance like nobody's watching.

Just take the ball and throw it where you want to. Throw strikes. Home plate don't move.

It's funny what a few no-hitters do for a body.

If your stomach disputes you, lie down and pacify it with cool thoughts.

The only change is that baseball has turned Paige from a second class citizen to a second class immortal.

How old would you be if you didn't know how old you are?

Age is a case of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it don't matter.
