“I never smile when I have a bat in my hands. That's when you've got to be serious.”
Hank Aaron (1934) Retired American baseball player

That's when you've got to be serious. When I get out on the field, nothing's a joke to me. I don't feel like I should walk around with a smile on my face.
Robert A. Heinlein (1907–1988) American science fiction author
This I Believe (1952)
Context: I am not going to talk about religious beliefs, but about matters so obvious that it has gone out of style to mention them.
I believe in my neighbors.
I know their faults and I know that their virtues far outweigh their faults. Take Father Michael down our road a piece — I'm not of his creed, but I know the goodness and charity and lovingkindness that shine in his daily actions. I believe in Father Mike; if I'm in trouble, I'll go to him. My next-door neighbor is a veterinary doctor. Doc will get out of bed after a hard day to help a stray cat. No fee — no prospect of a fee. I believe in Doc.
“My biggest fault is that the faults I was born with grow bigger each year.”
