Famous quote by Branch Rickey

"The opportunity to create a small world between two pieces of cardboard, where time exists yet stands still, where people talk and I tell them what to say, is exciting and rewarding"

"Creating the kind of connections between people that lead to collective civic action, political expression, community dialogue, shared cultural experiences"

"People with many interests live, not only longest, but happiest"

"By associating with wise people you will become wise yourself"

"If the present Congress errs in too much talking, how can it be otherwise in a body to which the people send one hundred and fifty lawyers, whose trade it is to question everything, yield nothing, and talk by the hour?"

"Virtuous people often revenge themselves for the constraints to which they submit by the boredom which they inspire"

"These days baseball is different. You come to spring training, you get your legs ready, you arms loose, your agents ready, your lawyer lined up"

"The world is full of abundance and opportunity, but far too many people come to the fountain of life with a sieve instead of a tank car... a teaspoon instead of a steam shovel. They expect little and as a result they get little"

"Faith, there hath been many great men that have flattered the people who ne'er loved them"
