A comprehensive approach to a two-state solution is not just, we believe, in Israel's interest. It's in our interest.

If you took money out of politics, you'd solve 80 percent of all the problems.

Yes, I'll stand up to the party if they're wrong and they aren't going the right way for people in Pennsylvania. But I do believe in Democratic principles.

I come from a background in the military where everyone had health care. We understood the value of education as a given. You learn a skill, earn a pension and go on to 'Be all that you can be'... You invest in people. You hold people accountable.

The career politicians down in Washington don't want to be held accountable.

My party needs to understand that business is not a bad word - especially when it has the word 'small' before it.

Unless you have bad times, you can't appreciate the good times.

Competing at the highest level is not about winning. It's about preparation, courage, understanding and nurturing your people, and heart. Winning is the result.

I am deeply saddened and shocked at the loss of umpire Wally Bell.

Baseball is a team sport played by individuals for themselves.

That's what I'd like to think that my reputation is - being honest.

I believe anybody who is not afraid to fail is a winner.

I have no problem with cheating. Whatever you can get away with.

You're always in the storm's eye, so to speak, when you're with the Yankees.

Baseball has changed dramatically since I began my tenure with the Yankees.

In regards to steroids, I think we're all to blame, all of baseball. I never realized how far-reaching this problem has been.

We've beat up our umpires. They're now allowed to be human.

Major league baseball is about the history of the game. Baseball history is so important. It's so much more than money.

Jerry Coleman was the kind of player who made me proud to wear the pinstripes.

As a supporter of the Prostate Cancer Foundation and their Home Run Challenge program, I am extremely grateful for the valuable partnerships and relationships built with Major League Baseball and our affiliates.

'Million Dollar Arm' touches on many of the Safe At Home Foundation's core values, such as children, teamwork and family.

If a club is winning, you never pay attention to a guy who's 0-for-10. If a club is losing, all of a sudden you'll find that he's the main reason why you're losing, which is absurd for me.

Baseball, while you're doing it, you think it's going to last forever.

You get to the big leagues, and you think, 'Can I do this stuff?' Then you take the first pitch down the middle for Strike 1, and you think, 'I could have hit that.'

Golf is the only game I know where you call a foul on yourself.

My relationship with George Steinbrenner was great. He was the boss, and I accepted that.

You could have the bases loaded, and you bring up the best pinch-hitter in the world to pinch hit, he hits into a double play, and then all of a sudden: 'How could you do that?'

When I was 16 years old, my brother Frank said, 'You'd better become a catcher, because you're too big and fat to do anything else.' Well, I took his advice. It was a quick way to get to the big leagues, and I've never regretted it.

My 12 years in New York were very, very special, the fans were very special, and it's something I will take with me wherever I go and into retirement.

I just don't like to dwell on stuff.

Even though I was never a Yankee fan until I put on the uniform, when you think about the deep history of this organization, you always knew what the Yankees represented.

Respect is the word I want. You have to earn it. You give, and you get it in return, that's how I see it.

Pitchers make adjustments, and it's up to the hitters to readjust and sort of tweak what they do.

My father wasn't the best role model to me.

Every time I pull somebody out of the bullpen, I believe he can do the job. I have to believe it. If he doesn't, hopefully he will do it the next time.

I felt there was a lot of love in my house. And my mom was, you know, the basis of all that.

One thing you have to realize is that cancer is not something you necessarily cure, but you want to just take care of yourself and extend your life as long as you can.

You know, Mike Milken, the money that he has raised for cancer research has been remarkable.

St. Louis has always been special to me.

By rule, the decision to reverse a call by use of instant replay is at the sole discretion of the crew chief.

I think that winning creates chemistry, as opposed to other way around. I've been on a lot of friendly teams that couldn't win, trust me.

As a player, to me the Dodgers were the Yankees of the National League because... you either loved them or you hated them.

There's nothing that can replace the feeling of winning.

I think there's more of opportunity to win games in the National League than the American League because there are more decisions to make.

After you manage the Yankees for 12 years, it's really tough to envision going somewhere else. But then the Dodgers called.

I hated the Yankees and Dodgers and wound up managing both.

It's nice to have writers write nice things about you and guys on radio and TV say nice things about you, but the guy who's in the locker next to you is the one you play the game for.

You have to fix something when it first appears.

There is no worse emotion than fear.

When I was coming home from school as a youngster, and I saw my dad's car in the driveway, I would go to a friend's house. I connected my dad being there with fear.
