Look at the saying of an inspirational athelte who broke stereotypes when he played in all white baseball teams. Break down your own barriers and fly high.
- 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.
- “Above anything else, I hate to lose.”
- “The most luxurious possession, the richest treasure anybody has, is his personal dignity.”
- “This ain’t fun. But you watch me, I’ll get it done.”
- “I don’t like needing anyone for anything.”
- “How you played in yesterday’s game is all that counts.”
- “I think if we go back and check our record, the Negro has proven beyond a doubt that we have been more than patient in seeking our rights as American citizens.”
- “Many people resented my impatience and honesty, but I never cared about acceptance as much as I cared about respect.”
