AFTER HITTING HIS 500TH HOME RUN: "The riches of the game are in the thrills, not the money."
AFTER RETIRING: "I've never worked a day in my life."
AS A COACH IN 1976: "I like my players to be married and in debt. That's the way you motivate them."
IN 1977: "Happiness is going eyeball-to-eyeball with those Cub fans. That's really what I appreciated most about playing in Wrigley Field."
IN 2003: "Sometimes when I'd hit a home run into the bleachers, I'd imagine the ball being caught by a kid and making his day. Then, I'd think, 'Someday, I might have to ask that kid for a job.' I can't imagine any of today's players needing to ask anybody for a job after baseball."
