Willie Stargell
The bat is gone, but the smile remains.

Be honest and work hard to get what you want. Don't take shortcuts you only cheat yourself in the long run. Success is not measured by money or fame, but by how you feel about your own goals and accomplishments and the time and effort you put into them.
