I have several times made a poor choice by avoiding a necessary confrontation.

One of the best ways of avoiding necessary and even urgent tasks is to seem to be busily employed on things that are already done

[SOLID CHOICE: A.J. Burnett might have finished on poor terms with Jack McKeon, but former Marlins manager Jeff Torborg remains a big believer in the free-agent pitcher.] I really like him, ... He'll give you everything he's got. He's a different kind of guy, the kind you'll see out on a motorcycle with his nipple rings and all that. But he's really a good boy. He'll do nothing but get better. I don't know where A.J. is going to go, but I do know one thing: Whoever gets him is getting one heck of a pitcher.

He had his choice, and he liked the worst.

We are rich only through what we give, and poor only through what we refuse.
