Satchel Paige

Satchel Paige, 1906-1982

other Satchel Paige Quotes:

Age is a case of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it don't matter.

Ain't no man can avoid being born average, but there ain't no man got to be common.

Airplanes may kill you, but they ain't likely to hurt you.

Don't look back. Something might be gaining on you.

Don't pray when it rains if you don't pray when the sun shines.

How old would you be if you didn't know how old you are?

How old would you be if you didn't know how old you were?

I ain't ever had a job, I just always played baseball.

I don't generally like running. I believe in training by rising gently up and down from the bench.

I never rush myself. See, they can't start the game without me.

I never threw an illegal pitch. The trouble is, once in a while I toss one that ain't never been seen by this generation.

I use my single windup, my double windup, my triple windup, my hesitation windup, my no windup. I also use my step-n-pitch-it, my submariner, my sidearmer, and my bat dodger. Man's got to do what he's got to do.

I've said it once and I'll say it a a hundred times, I'm forty-four years old.

If a man can beat you, walk him.

It's funny what a few no-hitters do for a body.

Money and women. They're two of the strongest things in the world. The things you do for a woman you wouldn't do for anything else. Same with money.

My feet ain't got nothing to do with my nickname, but when folks get it in their heads that a feller's got big feet, soon the feet start looking big.

My pitching philosophy is simple - keep the ball way from the bat.

One time I snuck a ball on with me and when I went to winding up, I threw one of them balls to first and one to second. I was so smooth I picked off both runners and fanned the batter without that ump or the other team even knowing it.

The only change is that baseball has turned Paige from a second class citizen to a second class immortal.

There never was a man on Earth who pitched as much as me. But the more I pitched, the stronger my arm would get.

When a batter swings and I see his knees move, I can tell just what his weaknesses are then I just put the ball where I know he can't hit it.

Work like you don't need the money. Love like you've never been hurt. Dance like nobody's watching.

You gotta keep the ball off the fat part of the bat.

Mr. Paige, if it were Mr. Paige, was paraphrasing (or parodying) Ann Lee who said, apropos of work such as making furniture.

"Work as though you were going to live for ever, work also as though this was the last day of your life."

From that philosophy, which takes a little thought to understand and apply, came the wonderful quality and workmanship of their products. Everyone enthuses about their designs, but it is the sheer skill and care put into the products which I find so appealing.
