My motto was always to keep swinging. Whether I was in a slump or feeling badly or having trouble off the field, the only thing to do was keep swinging. – Hank Aaron
Im hoping someday that some kid, black or white, will hit more home runs than myself. Whoever it is, Id be pulling for him. – Hank Aaron
I never smile when I have a bat in my hands. Thats when youve got to be serious. When I get out on the field, nothings a joke to me. I dont feel like I should walk around with a smile on my face. – Hank Aaron
I never doubted my ability, but when you hear all your life youre inferior, it makes you wonder if the other guys have something youve never seen before. If they do, Im still looking for it. – Hank Aaron
Girls, like men, want to be petted, pitied, and made much of, when they are diffident, in low spirits, or in unrequited love. These are services which the weak cannot render to the strong and which the strong will not render to the weak, except when there is also a difference of sex. – George Bernard Shaw
