Above Anything Else, I Hate To Lose.

A Life Is Not Important Except In The Impact It Has On Other Lives.

I Had To Fight Hard Against Loneliness, Abuse, And The Knowledge That Any Mistakes I Made Would Be Magnified Because I Was The Only Black Man Out There... I Never Cared About Acceptance As Much As I Cared About Respect.

Life Is Not A Spectator Sport. If You're Going To Spend Your Whole Life In The Grandstand Just Watching What Goes On, In My Opinion You're Wasting Your Life.

If I Had To Choose Between Baseball’s Hall Of Fame And First Class Citizenship For All Of My People. I Would Say First-class Citizenship.

I Never Cared About Acceptance As Much As I Cared About Respect.
