Curtis Martin Hall Of Fame Quotes

#1. I think it's important for fans to be involved in all aspects of the game.

I thought, 'I can't believe I'm talking to Bruce Springsteen, who's talking to Paul McCartney! #Quote by Melissa Etheridge

#10. We try to exert a Ted Williams kind of discipline. In his book The Science of Hitting, Ted explains that he carved the strike zone into 77 cells, each the size of a baseball. Swinging only at balls in his "best" cell, he knew, would allow him to bat .400; reaching for balls in his "worst" spot, the low outside corner of the strike zone, would reduce him to .230. In other words, waiting for the fat pitch would mean a trip to the Hall of Fame; swinging indiscriminately would mean a ticket to the minors. #Quote by Warren Buffett

#11. I think there are a lot of people who are afraid to be who they are, and if I have to sacrifice a little bit of fame and a little bit of success because I'm being 100 percent truthful with who I am, hopefully that will create a paved way for someone else. #Quote by Todrick Hall

I have a lot more understanding of them. #Quote by Martin Shaw

And it's either an anchor limiting your freedom and potential or a source of radiant energy, vitality and joy, elevating your life and the lives of those around you. It's your choice ... will yours be a source of strength, from which you will impact the world, or an obstacle, preventing you from your dreams and desires? ...

My advice to you, aim high; aim for strength. #Quote by Shawn Phillips
