"Emotional self-control-- delaying gratification and stifling impulsiveness- underlies accomplishment of every sort"

Previous Quote

I'm very pleased and very proud of my accomplishments, but I'm most proud of that (hitting four-hundred home runs and three-thousand hits). Not (Ted) Williams, not (Lou) Gehrig, not (Joe) DiMaggio did that. They were Cadillacs and I'm a Chevrolet.
