I say the sweet science is to hit and not get hit.

It's far, far better to be prepared: the more you know about the other team, the better.

As a catcher, I know the pitcher is trying to get ahead in the count.

I just was not going to subject my record to the bleak prospects of a primary election.

The editorial strategy of the 'World' is seemingly rested upon the theory that in a desperate cause, it is well to ask a little less than you hope to get. I think you should ask more.

It occurred to me that it would benefit me to play without emotion - well, without emotion others could see, anyway. Card players profited from having a poker face so opponents wouldn't know how good...

I just kept trying to tell myself, Don't be a hero and make a 3. If you keep making 4s, I think I'll eventually outlast somebody.

Name one experienced coach anywhere in the world that would hand over their playbook to the other team. Unless it's a fake playbook, it just doesn't happen.

That makes you a better player, when you go through the process of seeing what other teams are doing to you.

If someone's going to throw me in, I'm not going to try and hit a ground ball to third, you know? I'm going to try and hit it in the air. If someone's going to throw me away, I'm not going to try and...

We have formed a committee of secretaries which will chalk out a strategy to attract investment in the country.

Floyd Mayweather, he's a safe fighter. He is who he is. He's not going to take any risks.

I try to play hard defensively.

While sophisticated plays can work in poker, if attempted by an inexperienced player, they'll usually backfire. Elaborate bluffs and check-raises are best left to experienced players. It's just like...

A fight involves the emotion, the strategy of combat. There are many factors connected to a fight.

You always want to score on your first possession.

I was motivated to improve the U.S. strategy of going back to the moon in 1985. That's a long time ago. Going back to the moon would be a great achievement for tourism adventure flights.

Every time I went on the radio, I would take the crummiest radio station, the station that was like a toilet bowl. I would go on there and build up the ratings, so you couldn't do any worse.

I am a big fan of the five-bowler strategy.

Keep people off-balance and in the dark by never revealing the purpose behind your actions. If they have no clue what you are up to, they cannot prepare a defense.

Each driver has some particular style, and you compete against each driver in each race a little bit differently.

With acting, you wanna see if you can get into trouble without knowing how you're gonna get out of it. It's like the exact opposite of war, where you need an exit strategy. When you're acting, you...

As a player you always feel the pressure and as a team you are always trying to make sure the opposition are under it.

I always take things step by step and match by match.

I gotta continue within the offence and just understand it, pick and choose when to attack and things like that.

I intentionally abandoned the hard stuff early on because not only do I think it's useless, I think it's a distraction.

Emotion works against you. The less emotion, the more you use your brain and fight smart.

I can adapt my game to anyone, whether it's Ric Flair, Chris Benoit, or Batista.

You can't score if you're turning it over. It's like a punt. If you go out and you punt 12 times, you're not scoring points. That's not good. So, when you turn the ball over and throw interceptions,...

I have to be smart. You cannot be going in there, trying to go forward and pressure guys, and be taking damage and getting hurt on the way to doing it.
