Quote by Anthony P. Mauro, Sr.

“I’m at the point in life when people reassuringly remind me that age is only a number, which is thoughtful but for the fact that those who remind me are conspicuously short in remaining numbers at their age.”

“Oftentimes, we think we are in control of our lives and journey. Suddenly, we experience the unexpected and we think we are being chastised but instead we are being awakened to see that we were never in control of our lives. We were only walking on grounds that make us comfortable. Without the right thought process, we may choices that lead to consequences which may bring us pain, awaken ego and fear and make us more vain. Reality is that until you find your true self, connect with your spirit and soul (remember you are a spiritual being before the physical/flesh), you will be breaking the shells of your fragile heart, inflicting pain on others and drawing yourself away from the light and truth that you are. The moment you make the decision to find yourself, your life will forever be changed and you will see life in the true meaning of which God created it to be. Your perspective will forever be changed and you will never be the same again”

“I grew up in a day and age where hitting .250 in any given season made you a god. It was a smaller game back then. You had to hit smart and run well. There was mind to it. Then they put in a jackrabbit ball and it became a thing of brawn. You had to pitch the seams off the goddam thing or knock it into the stands every game if you wanted to be anyone. The people want that action and maybe you can give it to them for a time. But your fame will not last. It's how you play the game day in and day out, through cold streaks and shit-hole road trips. You better enjoy every goddam bus and rain delay and asswipe motel and old loud-mouthed manager and drop to the minors. Because that's what this is. It ain't glory. It's a long, ugly haul. And at the end of the day you may be a hero or you may be a washed up never been. That's all.”
