I was a good football player, and I had a chance to play with some great players.

I don’t know about the 2026 World Cup. But I would love to see Anirudh Thapa sending a cross to Jhingan and I would love to watch it from the stands.

I am fortunate to have played 15 years for my country.

Black or white good parts are hard to come by. A good actor with a good opportunity has a shot; without the opportunity it doesn’t matter how good you are.

I was totally dominated and revered my father. I admired everything he did. He was a great sports person. He loved me. I was his only boy at that time, before my brother Billy came along.

When I’m out on the football field, I have so much confidence in what I’m doing.

When I won the Golden Gloves in 1960, that made me realize I had a chance. And when I won at the Olympics, that sealed it: I was the champ.

Be a player; don’t play yourself. And don’t play basketball. That’s not your sport, Jeb Bush.

I try to encourage all my teammates, and I sure hope that some day all athletes – my kids, high school kids – get the same level of care I get. Because you can play for a long period of time without having knee replacements, without having all the major head trauma that people are dealing with.

I always tell people that you should only hire people to be on your team if you would work for them.

All ballplayers should quit when it starts to feel as if all the baselines run uphill.

Everything negative – pressure, challenges – is all an opportunity for me to rise.

My uncle played rugby, and my dad played football, and they used to argue which game was the roughest – and everybody agreed rugby was. It’s a great team sport, and to be successful, every person has to play in the same level.

Performing is a thing in itself, a distinct skill, different from making recordings. And for those who can do it, it’s a way to make a living.

Having the support from everyone, the bosses, whoever within the team, definitely makes it much easier for me as a driver.

I have always thought I was the best ever player.

I need to do well and show I’m a worthy driver in F1.

Children’s talent to endure stems from their ignorance of alternatives.

I put all my genius into my life; I put only my talent into my works.

You know, I’m just 6’9 and 260. And just so happen to be very good at playing the game of basketball.“

No man will make a great leader who wants to do it all himself or get all the credit for doing it.

I believe in the dignity of labor, whether with head or hand; that the world owes no man a living but that it owes every man an opportunity to make a living.

How you played in yesterday’s game is all that counts.

The purpose of education is to make good human beings with skill and expertise… Enlightened human beings can be created by teachers.

We will naturally pursue our goals on the strength of our own resources, skills and enterprise. But, we know that we will be more successful when we do this in partnership with the world.

Science is the captain, and practice the soldiers.

Everybody asks if putting is like shooting free throws. It has a very similar kind of mindset. And it’s just you, the ball, and the target.

I have long understood that losing always comes with the territory when you wander into the gambling business, just as getting crippled for life is an acceptable risk in the linebacker business. They both are extremely violent sports, and pain is part of the bargain. Buy the ticket, take the ride.

God is not on the side of the big battalions, but on the side of those who shoot best.

May we do good everywhere as we have opportunity, and results will not be wanting!

I wanted to be famous for my music and my talent, and I always wished I could cut it out when I left the stage.

My main focus is always to do well on the field for the Indian cricket team. When people say good things about me off the field, I am more than happy to accept them.

We have an obligation and a responsibility to be investing in our students and our schools. We must make sure that people who have the grades, the desire and the will, but not the money, can still get the best education possible.

A coach, especially at a college level – much more at a college or high school level, than at a pro level – you’re more of a teacher than an actual coach.

I’ve been blessed in that regard through and through. So I’m just thankful for this opportunity to play the game that I love and share that with the world.

In India, people are really glued to the Premier League and La Liga.

The Paralympic Games is about transforming our perception of the world.

Playing basketball all my life, I’ve collected a lot of different basketball shoes. It’s pretty much all I wear.

Like a baseball game, wars are not over till they are over. Wars don’t run on a clock like football. No previous generation was so hopelessly unrealistic that this had to be explained to them.

I know my serve stinks, but I was a pretty good tennis player.

My first assistant-coaching job in football was at William & Mary in 1961.

In college, a loss is pretty devastating. That feeling kind of goes away in an 82-game season. You hate to lose, but you also have a lot more games to make up for it.

Liverpool is a club with a big, big, big history, and all the clubs in the world have a big history if the present is not too successful. If you have never had success, then nobody knows how it is, but in Liverpool, everybody knows how it was.

I was acting when I was playing baseball.

We named the book ‚Extreme Ownership‘ because we really found that when we looked at not only at leaders but at teams that were the most successful, we found that the ones that had this attitude of extreme ownership were the ones that did the best, and it’s definitely an attitude that I had.

In England, when an athlete gets to the top, we do our best to destroy him.

I think that a president needs to have a variety of views presented. But also, there has to be a team effort, because otherwise, I think it creates a dissonance and difficulty.

In football, it’s the job of the player to play, the coach to coach, the official to officiate. Each guy is charged with upholding his end, nothing more. In golf, the player, coach and official are rolled into one, and they overlap completely. Golf really is the best microcosm of life – or at least the way life should be.

Never hold discussions with the monkey when the organ grinder is in the room.

When love and skill work together, expect a masterpiece.

Ability is nothing without opportunity.

In England, you have stadiums in the middle of the city.

I used to rush home to see ‚Match Of The Day.‘ Whatever I was doing, I wouldn’t miss it.

WIth football you can have up to 28 guys you consider starters, and if they can pick up the slack when some aren’t playing so well, you don’t have to turn those two game losing streaks into six-game losing streaks.

I grew up in a rural area called Vega Baja and I’m the first of so many talented people in this area to make it out. I take great pride to represent where I come from and I am able to show my fans, and everyone who listens and watches me, that anything is possible.

The most genius thing about the way I create is to create with other geniuses.

Working with a lot of people at the same time is a task. I really like making stuff and getting stuff done. One of the things I really liked about Facebook was that I could always move so quickly. I wrote the original application in, like, nine days at the end of January.

Who’s to say what’s a good voice and not a good voice?

One of my direct subordinates, one of my guys that worked for me, he would call me up or pull me aside with some major problem, some issue that was going on. And he’d say, ‚Boss, we’ve got this, and that, and the other thing.‘ And I’d look at him and I’d say, ‚Good.‘

Synergy is better than my way or your way. It’s our way.

We herd sheep, we drive cattle, we lead people. Lead me, follow me, or get out of my way.
