Players who are not from the U.K. have to get used to the winds. I have to adapt my style as a result as well. Often, you are forced to keep things simple.

I have never cared especially for outdoor sports and have no desire to excel at tennis, swimming, or golf. I’ll leave those things to the men.

I’m committed to the fight game.

The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.

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

I think my top salary was maybe in 1966. I made $17,000 and 11 of that came from selling other players‘ equipment.

No one that encounters prosperity does not also encounter danger.

Our physiological constitution is obviously a product of Darwinian processes, insofar as you buy the evolutional theory as a generative, as an account of the mechanism that generated us. Our physiology evolved, our behaviors evolved, and our accounts of those behaviors, both successful and unsuccessful, evolved.

My mother had a great deal of trouble with me, but I think she enjoyed it.

Any good piece of material like Shakespeare ought to be open to reinterpretation.

I was a very average player and became a trainer in Germany with a special club.

Well, I mean, to me, I think my ultimate – my ultimate goal is winning championships and – and I understand that me going down as one of the greats will not happen until I, you know, win a championship.

I like the good life too much, I’m not good at going on stage night after night and on wet Wednesday afternoons.

After a hard day of basic training, you could eat a rattlesnake.

Concentrate your energies, your thoughts and your capital. The wise man puts all his eggs in one basket and watches the basket.

I really don’t pay attention to the outside world when I’m incarcerated, because being in prison is like being in a different world. So I don’t pay attention to what’s going on outside of jail, because it’s all beyond my control.

Basketball is booming, and it’s not just an Under Armour standpoint: it’s about the game itself. Kids going out and playing and being inspired by what we do on the court.

It takes a smart man to play dumb.

To be honest, there are no problems between me and Messi. People have their own opinions about who they think is the better player. It is what it is, but there is no rivalry beyond games and what happens on the pitch.

Marriage is like a game of chess except the board is flowing water, the pieces are made of smoke and no move you make will have any effect on the outcome.

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.

After the 12th class exam results, I got a call from Mohun Bagan. They saw me at Durand Cup when I was playing for City Club of Delhi. I thought they might want me for SAIL Academy. Never ever I thought Mohun Bagan is calling me for Mohun Bagan!

Any other woman who has to go to work and pick up the kids and make dinner – that’s way harder than what I have to do.

The military can buy our diplomats some time.

There’s many ups and downs in the fight game.

When I started analysing games in 2001, I had a DVD recorder. I’d be at home watching the games just on a normal TV, watching what I could and trying to figure out what we would be facing a few weeks later. The problem was, in the team meetings, I’d always have to keep going back and forwards with the footage, trying to get to the right part.

Plans are nothing; planning is everything.

Each success only buys an admission ticket to a more difficult problem.

When I signed up for BFC, then-coach Ashley Westwood wanted me to play on the left as an attacking midfielder. I was not sure initially but I believed in his vision. For the first six-seven games, I didn’t really know what I was doing. I was like a headless chicken. But he kept backing me.

The uncertainty of parenting can bring up feelings in us that range from frustration to terror.

As a part of the NFL, things change every year.

There are two bowlers who I think are very tough to play against – Dale Steyn and Morne Morkel.

We combat obstacles in order to get repose, and when got, the repose is insupportable.

Volleyball, I could be pretty good. After a few practices I could be that striker, or whatever they call it.

The odds of me coming into the rocket business, not knowing anything about rockets, not having ever built anything, I mean, I would have to be insane if I thought the odds were in my favor.

People have to understand one thing: at the age of 18, I arrived at a dream club like Manchester United. It was a dream come true. But, even at that moment, I was thinking about playing in England for some years and then going to play in Spain. Even at that time I was thinking that way, and I always gave 100% everything.

There have been so many great players that I’ve played with, that I’ve played against over the years.

The battlefield is a scene of constant chaos. The winner will be the one who controls that chaos, both his own and the enemies.

Although the life of a person is in a land full of thorns and weeds, there is always a space in which the good seed can grow. You have to trust God.

We want to play the AFC Cup every year.

All the top players in the world play 45-50-60 games. You need that many games, even the strikers need that many games.

Baseball was, is and always will be to me the best game in the world.

Hundreds of people who’ve never written before send in ‚Dr. Who‘ scripts. They may have good ideas, but what they fail to realise is that writing for TV is incredibly complicated. They have no idea how difficult it is and what the financial commitment is.

Even the securest financial plan and the finest health coverage aren’t enough to hold us steady when the challenges come… We need something more, something deeper and unshakeable, something that will see us through life’s hard times.

I hate all sports as rabidly as a person who likes sports hates common sense.

The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must rise with the occasion. As our case is new, so we must think anew and act anew.

I’m always hungry to score.

For different roles, my condition and training and diet does alter. Depending on the role, it will really dictate the type of training I do.

Extinction is the rule. Survival is the exception.

I’ve thought sometimes about what I like about football, and it’s playing together.

Fortunately for a quarterback, you can play for a long time because you don’t get hit very often.

Difficulties strengthen the mind, as labor does the body.

The English game is not faster than the German game. Perhaps there are a few more sprints. But there is a different style of football here, partially due to the weather.

Through every victory and every setback, I’ve insisted that change is never easy and never quick; that we wouldn’t meet all of our challenges in one term, or one presidency, or even in one lifetime.

If it wasn’t for baseball, I’d be in either the penitentiary or the cemetery.

I can remember earning £5,000 a game playing for Hibs at the end of the Seventies. They let me commute from London, train on the Friday and play on Saturday. That lasted until my friends at the Inland Revenue decided to take two-thirds. That wasn’t very entertaining for me.

Writing is challenging work because it’s so easy to get consumed with how it’s going, what’s going to happen to it, who’s going to like or not like it. You want to get all of that stuff out of your head and just let the work flow.

When the NBA adopted their uniform that they had to wear, I thought that was very interesting. And you see the way NBA players dress: It’s very cool.

Only by contending with challenges that seem to be beyond your strength to handle at the moment you can grow more surely toward the stars.

Baseball changes through the years. It gets milder.

It’s been my experience in politics that you can try and plan it out: ‚I’m going to hit the three ball which will hit the eight ball.‘ You’ve just got to go run and try to do everything right. And then have a little luck.
