All blame is a waste of time. No matter how much fault you find with another, and regardless of how much you blame him, it will not change you. The only thing blame does is to keep the focus off you when you are looking for... reasons to explain your unhappiness or frustration.

The key to being a good manager is keeping the people who hate me away from those who are still undecided.
Casey Stengel
The secret of successful managing is to keep the five guys who hate you away from the four guys who haven't made up their minds.

There are three things you can do in a baseball game. You can win, or you can lose, or it can rain.

They say Yogi Berra is funny. Well, he has a lovely wife and family, a beautiful home, money in the bank, and he plays golf with millionaires. What's funny about that?
Casey Stengel
They told me my services were no longer desired because they wanted to put in a youth program as an advance way of keeping the club going. I'll never make the mistake of being seventy again.
Casey Stengel
Being with a woman all night never hurt no professional baseball player. It's staying up all night looking for a woman that does him in.
Casey Stengel
You have to have a catcher because if you don't you're likely to have a lot of passed balls.
Casey Stengel
When you are younger you get blamed for crimes you never committed and when you're older you begin to get credit for virtues you never possessed. It evens itself out.
Casey Stengel
You gotta learn that if you don't get it by midnight, chances are you ain't gonna get it, and if you do, it ain't worth it.
Casey Stengel
No baseball pitcher would be worth a darn without a catcher who could handle the hot fastball.
Casey Stengel
Oldtimers, weekends, and airplane landings are alike. If you can walk away from them, they're successful.
Casey Stengel
Sure I played, did you think I was born at the age of 70 sitting in a dugout trying to manage guys like you?
Casey Stengel
I feel greatly honored to have a ballpark named after me, especially since I've been thrown out of so many.
Casey Stengel
Been in this game one-hundred years, but I see new ways to lose 'em I never knew existed before.
Casey Stengel
I came in here and a fella asked me to have a drink. I said I don't drink. Then another fella said hear you and Joe DiMaggio aren't speaking and I said I'll take that drink.
Casey Stengel
Son, we'd like to keep you around this season but we're going to try and win a pennant.
Casey Stengel
The trouble with women umpires is that I couldn't argue with one. I'd put my arms around her and give her a little kiss.
Casey Stengel
If we're going to win the pennant, we've got to start thinking we're not as good as we think we are.
Casey Stengel
I broke in with four hits, and the writers promptly declared they had seen the new Ty Cobb. It took me only a few days to correct that impression.
Casey Stengel
They say some of my stars drink whiskey, but I have found that ones who drink milkshakes don't win many ball games.
Casey Stengel
If I've got a good pinch-hitter, I hate to have him stay on the bench with men on the bases in an early inning. He may end the game right there.
Casey Stengel
If you're playing baseball and thinking about managing, you're crazy. You'd be better off thinking about being an owner.
