I am very happy playing and showing off my talent on the cricket field and have no plans to enter Bollywood.

I feel that my fans have cultivated my talent and they continue to nurture me.

It is possible to live happily in the here and the now. So many conditions of happiness are available – more than enough for you to be happy right now. You don’t have to run into the future in order to get more.

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

I focus on one thing and one thing only – that’s trying to win as many championships as I can.

Probably the happiest period in life most frequently is in middle age, when the eager passions of youth are cooled, and the infirmities of age not yet begun; as we see that the shadows, which are at morning and evening so large, almost entirely disappear at midday.

My life turned out to be beyond my greatest dreams.

Talent is something that comes from within; it has nothing to do with age.

The way I figured it, I was even with baseball and baseball with me. The game had done much for me, and I had done much for it.

Every day we have plenty of opportunities to get angry, stressed or offended. But what you’re doing when you indulge these negative emotions is giving something outside yourself power over your happiness. You can choose to not let little things upset you.

Whether happiness may come or not, one should try and prepare one’s self to do without it.

If you cannot concentrate, you are not so happy.

I can see, and that is why I can be happy, in what you call the dark, but which to me is golden. I can see a God-made world, not a manmade world.

My superhero has always been Tendulkar, and it will be Tendulkar for life. He is someone who has inspired me immensely. Just watching him play for India, I used to dream of winning games for India, because he used to do it single handedly.

We don’t laugh because we’re happy – we’re happy because we laugh.

I have learned that only two things are necessary to keep one’s wife happy. First, let her think she’s having her own way. And second, let her have it.

You can sometimes play some really good football and not score.

The choicest pleasures of life lie within the ring of moderation.

Most people would assume my business success, and the wealth that comes with it, have brought me happiness. But I know I am successful, wealthy, and connected because I am happy.

Over the years, all my coaches and my teammates have contributed a lot to shape my career. I can never forget their contribution and help.

Football changed my life and it gave me a platform to get out my aggression and it gave me a sense of value.

I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious.

My ultimate goal is to end up being happy. Most of the time.

Life is essentially a cheat and its conditions are those of defeat; the redeeming things are not happiness and pleasure but the deeper satisfactions that come out of struggle.

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

I had no bad moment in my relationship with Dortmund. Not one second.

The people you choose to have around you make all the difference. My family and close friends keep me grounded. You have to have a mind of your own and a strong head on your shoulders. Cricket is the most important thing to me, so the rest of it pales in comparison.

Happiness is a hard master, particularly other people’s happiness.

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.

I just want to live happily ever after, every now and then.

Celebrity is the chastisement of merit and the punishment of talent.

Of all the things which wisdom provides to make us entirely happy, much the greatest is the possession of friendship.

Until you have cultivated the habit of saying some kind word of those whom you do not admire, you will be neither successful nor happy.

As your career grows, the list of things that makes you happy should not become smaller, it should become bigger.

Italy, and the spring and first love all together should suffice to make the gloomiest person happy.

I was a naturally aggressive left-back, a cut-throat tackler.

The best thing about the Kentucky Derby is that it is only two minutes long. It is the quickest event in sports, except for Sumo-wrestling & Mike Tyson fights. Maybe Drag-racing is quicker, but I have never been attracted to it.

Wine is constant proof that God loves us and loves to see us happy.

The intense happiness of our union is derived in a high degree from the perfect freedom with which we each follow and declare our own impressions.

It was a personal decision for me to stand and say that cricket is all I have in life, there’s nothing I need to do other than cricket. If I want to achieve whatever I thought as a kid, I need to work hard and not let it go to waste.

If someone told me I could play two Asian Cup finals, I wouldn’t have believed it.

Nothing surprises me anymore in the NFL.

We should consider every day lost on which we have not danced at least once. And we should call every truth false which was not accompanied by at least one laugh.

Louis van Gaal is one of the most successful managers in the world.

I believe in manicures. I believe in overdressing. I believe in primping at leisure and wearing lipstick. I believe in pink. I believe happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day, and… I believe in miracles.

Be content with what you have; rejoice in the way things are. When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you.

The old Dodgers were something special, but of my teammates overall, there was nobody like Pee Wee Reese for me.

Football is a sad game.

I’m really a normal football manager.

If you get to my age in life and nobody thinks well of you, I don’t care how big your bank account is, your life is a disaster.

Fun is good.

In England, football is a big thing to talk about, but Liverpool, it’s a special place. You feel it when you make your first step.

I’m proud to play for Real Madrid because I have fun; when you no longer have fun it’s a sign that it’s time to leave. For now though, I’m happy here at the greatest club in the world.

If I heard someone else singing like me, I would buy it in a heartbeat.

The secret of happiness is this: let your interests be as wide as possible, and let your reactions to the things and persons that interest you be as far as possible friendly rather than hostile.

Laughter heals all wounds, and that’s one thing that everybody shares. No matter what you’re going through, it makes you forget about your problems. I think the world should keep laughing.

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

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

The only ones among you who will be really happy are those who will have sought and found how to serve.

As men are not able to fight against death, misery, ignorance, they have taken it into their heads, in order to be happy, not to think of them at all.

I am not happy, and the quest for happiness as a principal objective is not part of my world. Of course, ever since I can remember, I have done what I felt like doing.
