Age is a case of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it don't matter.

Ain't no man can avoid being born average, but there ain't no man got to be common.

Airplanes may kill you, but they ain't likely to hurt you.
Satchel Paige
Don't look back. Something might be gaining on you.
Satchel Paige
Don't pray when it rains if you don't pray when the sun shines.

How old would you be if you didn't know how old you are?

How old would you be if you didn't know how old you were?
Satchel Paige
I ain't ever had a job, I just always played baseball.
Satchel Paige
I don't generally like running. I believe in training by rising gently up and down from the bench.
Satchel Paige
I never rush myself. See, they can't start the game without me.
Satchel Paige
I never threw an illegal pitch. The trouble is, once in a while I toss one that ain't never been seen by this generation.
Satchel Paige
I use my single windup, my double windup, my triple windup, my hesitation windup, my no windup. I also use my step-n-pitch-it, my submariner, my sidearmer, and my bat dodger. Man's got to do what he's got to do.
Satchel Paige
I've said it once and I'll say it a a hundred times, I'm forty-four years old.
Satchel Paige
If a man can beat you, walk him.
Satchel Paige
It's funny what a few no-hitters do for a body.
Satchel Paige
Just take the ball and throw it where you want to. Throw strikes. Home plate don't move.
Satchel Paige
Money and women. They're two of the strongest things in the world. The things you do for a woman you wouldn't do for anything else. Same with money.
Satchel Paige
My feet ain't got nothing to do with my nickname, but when folks get it in their heads that a feller's got big feet, soon the feet start looking big.
Satchel Paige
My pitching philosophy is simple - keep the ball way from the bat.
Satchel Paige
One time I snuck a ball on with me and when I went to winding up, I threw one of them balls to first and one to second. I was so smooth I picked off both runners and fanned the batter without that ump or the other team even knowing it.
Satchel Paige
The only change is that baseball has turned Paige from a second class citizen to a second class immortal.
Satchel Paige
There never was a man on Earth who pitched as much as me. But the more I pitched, the stronger my arm would get.
Satchel Paige
When a batter swings and I see his knees move, I can tell just what his weaknesses are then I just put the ball where I know he can't hit it.
Satchel Paige
You gotta keep the ball off the fat part of the bat.
