Most pitchers are too smart to manage.

You can't win if nobody catches the ball in the outfield. You're only as good as the team you have behind you.

Democracy, loudly upheld as a cure for much of the ailing world, has proved no guarantor of political wisdom, even if it remains the least bad form of government.

I would've done anything to work with Satyajit Ray.
