“Winning is the most important thing in my life, after breathing. Breathing first, winning next.”

“I'm the boss. I'm the boss of the Yankees.”

“You measure the size of the accomplishment by the obstacles you have to overcome to reach your goals.”

“Owning the Yankees is like owning the Mona Lisa.”

“I will never have a heart attack. I give them.”

“I am the boss, I do seem to like to be boss.”

“I'm not a good loser. I'm a terrible loser.”

“Show me a good loser and I'll show you a loser.”

“I haven't always done a good job, and I haven't always been successful. But I know that I have tried.”

“I care what the fans think. I'm a fan myself.”

“I want to win, and I will do whatever it takes to win.”

“Second place is a loser.”

“You can't be a pussycat and win in this business.”
