Umpiring is a mixture of good physique, good eyes, plenty of courage, pride in your work, a knowledge of the rules, getting the right angle, a respect for the ability of others -- managers, players and umpires -- plus plenty of common sense. There is no greater asset than common sense properly applied."
Later, he says:
In all the 25 years that I umpired, I have never tried to prove infallibility. Rather, I have very forcefully stated that I called the play as i saw it, and that made the decision arrived at "official." Even when positive I had not erred, I always regarded it as diplomacy to listen to the player's side of the argument. It is far easier to reason with the player who has let off steam rather than one who is burning up over an adverse decision and finds no one willing to listen. It is then that he goes berserk.
Never try to alibi your error. That makes two mistakes out of one. Umpires dislike ball players who alibi. In like manner, ball players have no particular use for the umpire who always has an alibi.
Don't work your thumb overtime, pointing the way to the clubhouse.

I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs."
- Thomas Jefferson
"By perserverance,study, and eternal desire,any man can become great!" - General Patton
"you can learn more character on the two-yard line than anywhere else." - Paul Dietzel
"Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason, than that of blind-folded fear." - Thomas Jefferson
"Show me a good and gracious loser,and I'll show you a failure."
All you need in life are the three F's : faith, family, and friends.
