We can learn from past failures and mistakes, but we shouldn't get stuck there. We can keep future goals in mind, but we shouldn't get stuck there, either. The only way to reach our potential is to focus on what we must do now - this moment, this day - to perform effectively and win.
Joe Torre
The game itself is an autonomous game, but everybody is a part of it. No contribution is too small.
Joe Torre
I believe anybody who is not afraid to fail is a winner.
Joe Torre
I am deeply saddened and shocked at the loss of umpire Wally Bell.
Joe Torre
One winter, when I was 12, my older brother Frank (20) said to my father, 'We want you out of the house. We don't want anything other than the house we live in. We don't want anything from you. Just leave.' And he left.
Joe Torre
He [Nomar Garciaparra] could go 0-for-10 in rehab and it wouldn't mean anything.
Joe Torre
Respect is the word I want. You have to earn it. You give, and you get it in return, that's how I see it.
Joe Torre
