“It's no shame in reaching second or third base if you aimed for first base.”
“Progress always involves risk; you can't steal second base and keep your foot on first.”
“Aim at a high mark and you'll hit it. No, not the first time, nor the second time. Maybe not the third. But keep on aiming and keep on shooting for only practice will make you perfect.”
“First base was a far richer social opportunity. First base made catching feeling like a bad dinner party - what with the ump hanging on your shoulder and all the fans and cameras staring at you. At first base you could really talk.”
“...true authority is not based on control - it's based on truth...”
“Some people are born on third base and go through life thinking they hit a triple.”
