Be ready to catch the ball when it is thrown by life.

The guy who’s willing to hustle the most is gonna be the guy that just gets that loose ball.

Niggas pray and pray on my downfall, But every time I hit the ground I bounce up like round ball

In many ways, I’m a big admirer still of Julian Assange. He had balls to do what he did and his motivations in terms of holding the powerful to account are tremendously inspiring to me.

I believe in my heart I’m the best player in the world. I’m just a scorer. I try to put the ball in the basket for my team. I’m just confident in my ability to play ball.

Words, like cannon balls, should go direct to their mark.

If he slices the budget like he slices a golf ball, the nation has nothing to worry about.

My balls feel like a pair of maracas.

Kids are without a doubt the most suspicious diners in the world. They will eat mud (raw or baked) rocks, paste, crayons, ball-point pens, moving goldfish, cigarette butts, and cat food. Try to coax a little beef stew into their mouths and they look at you like a puppy when you stand over him with the Sunday paper rolled up.

Let’s not pretend that mental phenomena can be mapped on to the characteristics of billiard balls.

Light and funny has a more compelling quality when you’re younger. But I haven’t abandoned the genre: I love falling down; I love Lucille Ball. It’s just that a lot of those stories revolve around problems that I can’t convincingly portray at this age.

Maybe I was born to play ball. Maybe I truly was.

A person who learns to juggle six balls will be more skilled than the person who never tries to juggle more than three.

Always keep in mind that if God didn’t want a man to have mulligans, golf balls wouldn’t come three to a sleeve.

I love sharing the ball with my teammates. I see a lot of things before my teammates see them.

The proper method of playing mixed doubles is to swipe the ball accidentally and straight at the woman opponent as hard and as accurately as possible. Male players must not only retain equanimity on their side of the net, but create dissension on the other.

Let no one say that I have said nothing new… the arrangement of the subject is new. When we play tennis, we both play with the same ball, but one of us places it better.

Try to think where you want to put the ball, not where you don’t want it to go.

I think about music in the way that I heard music as a kid – like, Oh my god, there’s this weird rubbery ball of undulating things.

That Seaman is a handsome young man but he spends too much time looking in his mirror rather than at the ball. You can’t keep goal with hair like that.

Everything I did that required effort, I opened my mouth. Even to catch a ball, I opened my mouth.

Since September it’s just gotten colder and colder. There’s less daylight now, I’ve noticed too. This can only mean one thing – the sun is going out. In a few more months the Earth will be a dark and lifeless ball of ice. Dad says the sun isn’t going out. He says its colder because the earth’s orbit is taking us farther from the sun. He says winter will be here soon. Isn’t it sad how some people’s grip on their lives is so precarious that they’ll embrace any preposterous delusion rather than face an occasional bleak truth?

So one time when I was working in this motel one of the toilets leaked and I had to replace the flapper ball. Here’s what it said on the package; I kept it till I knew it by heart: ‘Please Note. Parts are included for all installations, but no installation requires all of the parts.’ That’s kind of my philosophy about men. I don’t think there’s an installation out there that could use all my parts.

And two balls minus one, six titles at the tour de France.

But the truth is that L.A. was never entirely real anyway, as Steely Dan, Randy Newman, Warren Zevon, Larry David and Alan Ball all understood.

Jesus Christ can’t hit a golf ball straight. It’s virtually impossible – at best it’s an accident.

I can’t do anything about how people who are all but completely unaware of my actual motivations and my actual thought process and my actual worldview, how they characterize me. There’s not much I can do about it, except never say another word other than ‘there’s a ground ball to shortstop.’ And I don’t think that’s going to happen.

Titleist has offered me a big contract not to play its balls.

In the best of times, our days are numbered anyway. So it would be a crime against nature for any generation to take the world crisis so solemnly that it put off enjoying those things for which we were designed in the first place: the opportunity to do good work, to enjoy friends, to fall in love, to hit a ball, and to bounce a baby.

I had no knowledge of the various steps involved in the game balls and the process that happened between when they were prepared and went to the officials and went to the game. So, I’ve learned a lot about that.

Name and fame! to fly sublime Through the courts, the camps, the schools Is to be the ball of Time, Bandied in the hands of fools.

In general I like a guy who is athletic, somebody who can teach me something. Whether it’s teaching me a new way to cut on a wave or teach me a three-point conversion or teach me how to dribble a soccer ball. There’s something really cool about that.

One of the things you have to learn is that you don’t have to have the ball all the time to be effective.

When I’m late it matters, but when everybody else is late it doesn’t matter… If that’s the rule then just write it down and then I know, you know… I’ll read it and I’ll write it down on my balls. Right here. Right here on the back of my balls is where I’ll write it. On the very back. I’ll just lift them and write it nicely.
