Tommy Lasorda has many many great quotes but my favorite all time was given about Darryl Strawberry after his first season in L.A. He was awful and a huge disappointment to Dodger fans. A reporter asked Tommy something about Darryl dogging it in the outfield...
"He is not a dog; a dog is loyal and runs after balls." Joshua

My favorite isn't a quote, it's a rant by Cubs manager Lee Elia lashing out at Cuns fans on April 29, 1983. In honor of the 30 year annivesary:

makes me feel as if I'm stealing." Mickey Mantle

Pete Rose -- I'd walk through hell in a gasoline suit to play baseball.
Reggie Jackson on Tom Seaver -- He's so good, blind people come to the park to hear him pitch. Anonymous batter protesting after striking out looking on three pitches against Walter Johnson -- the third one sounded low. Writer about Lefty Grove -- he was so fast he could throw a lambchop past a wolf. Pitcher I don't remember about Hank Aaron -- trying to get a fastball by him is like trying to sneak the sunrise past a rooster. Babe Ruth on justifying his higher salary than Herbert Hoover -- I had a better year than he did. Willie Stargell on hitting against Sandy Koufax -- it was like trying to drink coffee with a fork. Sal Maglie on why he threw two consecutive pitches at a batter's head -- to show him the first one wasn't a mistake.

Bob Uecker:
"I signed with the Milwaukee Braves for three-thousand dollars. That bothered my dad at the time because he didn't have that kind of dough. But he eventually scraped it up."

In a rather confusing play Babe Herman hit a ball off the wall with the bases loaded and the Dodgers wound up with three men on 3rd base. Dazzy Vance who had somehow failed to score from 2nd was diving back into third with Chick Fewster standing on the bag already and Herman sliding in thinking he was getting a triple. While the umpires were trying to figure it out, Vance made a speech, "Mr. Umpire, fellow teammates, and members of the opposition. If you carefully peruse the rules of our national pastime you will find that there is one and only one protagonist in rightful occupation of this hassock - namely yours truly, Arthur C. Vance". And he was right. The other two were out.

Dick Allen about artificial turf:
"If a horse won't eat it, I don't want to play on it." Bob Uecker: "The way to catch a knuckleball is to wait until the ball stops rolling and then to pick it up." And then there's Yogi: "So I'm ugly. So what? I never saw anyone hit with his face."

Goose Goslin - "I truly loved those fastballs. Zip they'd come in, and whack .. right back out."
Al Bridwell on getting the hit that set off the whole "Merkle Boner" incident: " I wish I had never gotten that hit. I wish I'd struck out instead. If I had done that it would have spared Fred a lot of unfair humiliation. Yes, I wish I'd struck out. It would have been better all around." For some reason a reporter asked the opposing pitcher before a World Series game how he would pitch to Gus Niarhos who was hardly a threat at the plate: "We'll probably throw him fastballs and bunch him towards the mound."
