My mental approach is totally different. My coach predicated everything on defense. He always talked about defense, defense, defense. I took it to heart that if you play defense, you can take the heart from an offensive player.

Eric Williams

I don't have to steal bases. I steal bases because I want to.

Lou Brock

I even steal bases. I hear all the time that I'm slow, but hey, I have 66 stolen bases.

Yadier Molina

Stealing bases is just something I like to do. I figure if I can hit home runs and steal bases, I'd be different than everybody else.

Carl Crawford

The interesting thing was we never talked about pottery. Bernard [Leach] talked about social issues; he talked about the world political situation, he talked about the economy, he talked about all kinds of things.

Warren MacKenzie

I don't care that much about stolen bases. So when I steal and a guy fouls a pitch off, for me it's not that frustrating.

Trea Turner

They never talked about my defense. But every coach I've played for, I make them say 'Oh, I didn't know about your defense. We're going to put you on the best players. And the other team thinks that you're not good, so they're going to attack you. But we love that.'

Danilo Gallinari

I have the speed. People said, 'Just hit the ball on the ground, slap the ball, just get on base.' But I wanted to be able to hit home runs. I wanted to be able to bunt, steal bases, play defense.

Trea Turner

Fidel Castro just talked a long time, and he talked and he talked and he talked and he talked... and he talked during the meeting. I think it was about four hours. But I guess that's part of the Castro spirit.

Aaron McGruder

When I were a young man, I used to play baseball and steal bases just like Jackie Robinson. If the empire would rule me out, I would get mad and hit the empire.

Langston Hughes

If you want to steal, steal a little in a nice way. But if you steal too much to become rich overnight, you'll be caught.

Mobutu Sese Seko

Growing up in a small Alaska town, domestic violence was that dirty little secret nobody talked about. We must start talking about it. For too long, we have been providing protection to the wrong people.

Lisa Murkowski

I wasn't going to be drafted to steal bases at 18.

Billy Butler

I used to read reviews - I read a lot of the reviews when I did 'Borgen,' but the thing is, people were so harsh that I talked to my wife about it, and I said this is too tough - the people are too personal and too idiotic to understand it, in my mind.

Pilou Asbaek

BRAC originated in the 1960s under President Kennedy as the Department of Defense (DOD) had to realign its base structure after World War II and the Korean War. At that time, the DOD was able to close bases without congressional interference, and 60 bases were closed in the 1960s.

Sam Brownback

I don't really look at the catcher at all. I think you steal bases off the pitcher.
