“There is always inequality in life. Some men are killed in a war and some men are wounded and some men never leave the country. Life is unfair.”

“If there's not drama and negativity in my life, all my songs will be really wack and boring or something.”

“I believe that a simple and unassuming manner of life is best for everyone, best both for the body and the mind.”

“Life is but thought.”

“All life demands struggle. Those who have everything given to them become lazy, selfish, and insensitive to the real values of life. The very striving and hard work that we so constantly try to avoid is the major building block in the person we are today.”

“It was once said that the moral test of government is how that government treats those who are in the dawn of life, the children those who are in the twilight of life, the elderly and those who are in the shadows of life, the sick, the needy and the handicapped.”

“Life is a tragedy when seen in close-up, but a comedy in long-shot.”

“Every day is a new opportunity. You can build on yesterday's success or put its failures behind and start over again. That's the way life is, with a new game every day, and that's the way baseball is.”

“The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane.”
