A life is not important except in the impact it has on other lives. I'm not concerned with your liking or disliking me... All I ask is that you respect me as a human being. Baseball is like a poker game. Nobody wants to quit when he's losing; nobody wants you to quit when you're ahead.

The most luxurious possession, the richest treasure anybody has, is his personal dignity.
