At 17, I went to Stanford University to study engineering. My time was occupied with the required reading and the extracurricular duties of managing the baseball and football teams and earning my way.

The key is not to prioritize what’s on your schedule, but to schedule your priorities.

It is even better to act quickly and err than to hesitate until the time of action is past.

I make impact plays. I make game-changing plays.

I’ve been so blessed to play for the greatest coach at a time when our organization has done incredible things. I’ve played with the best teammates. Playing for Mr. Kraft and what his influence on the team has been.

I’m looking forward to the intensity of football and how the people live football in Liverpool. It’s a special club.

I always had a sense of discipline in me. However, there was a time when I couldn’t divide my time properly between off-field things and on-field assignments. The focus would be missing at times, and that would affect my preparation for matches. I managed to change that.

It is extremely difficult to say how long the process actually took to finally achieve my fragrance, Boudoir, because there was a lot of time waiting around for other people.

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.

To love is so startling it leaves little time for anything else.

Nothing is particularly hard if you divide it into small jobs.

I hope the fans have enjoyed listening as much as I’ve enjoyed doing the games. I don’t ever go to the park where I don’t have a good day. I don’t like losing. But I don’t think I ever go to the park where I have a bad day. I don’t think once.

People who have time on their hands will inevitably waste the time of people who have work to do.

Millions of people were inspired by the Apollo Program. I was five years old when I watched Apollo 11 unfold on television, and without any doubt it was a big contributor to my passions for science, engineering, and exploration.

Career highlights? I had two – I got an intentional walk from Sandy Koufax and I got out of a rundown against the Mets.

Nothing is so fatiguing as the eternal hanging on of an uncompleted task.

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.

Where would I be without baseball? Who am I without baseball?

To share the dressing room of club and country with Bhai was an amazing experience. I learnt a lot from him and other senior players like Renedy Singh.

Most of the time, songs that I write end up being finished in 30 minutes or less.

Let all your things have their places; let each part of your business have its time.

I’m one of the slowest drivers on the road. I mosey along. If you’re doing anything too fast, including living life too fast, that creates sudden death. If I have to be somewhere on time, I make sure I leave early enough.

When there’s so much left to do, why spend your time focusing on things you’ve already done, counting trophies or telling stories about the good old days?

Sometimes if you got a problem deep rooted in your life, it takes a little bit of time to overcome it in that area.

One today is worth two tomorrows.

I was the one who took football off the back pages and put it on to page one.

If you’ve found some way to educate yourself about engineering, stocks, or whatever it is, good employers will have some type of exam or interview and see a sample of your work.

The military can buy our diplomats some time.

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

I idolised IM Vijayan and Krisanu Dey when I started watching football. After that, it was Bhaichung Bhutia in India and Brazilian Ronaldo abroad.

If you are working 50 hours a week in a factory, you don’t have time to read 10 newspapers a day and go back to declassified government archives. But such people may have far-reaching insights into the way the world works.

The black press, some liberal sportswriters, and even a few politicians were banging away at those Jim Crow barriers in baseball. I never expected the walls to come tumbling down in my lifetime.

Never leave that till tomorrow which you can do today.

At its heart, engineering is about using science to find creative, practical solutions. It is a noble profession.

You throw batting practice, you warm up pitchers, you sit and cheer. You do whatever you have to do to stay on the team.

Before I went to jail, I was active in politics as a member of South Africa’s leading organization – and I was generally busy from 7 A.M. until midnight. I never had time to sit and think.

You can’t score if you’re turning it over. It’s like a punt. If you go out and you punt 12 times, you’re not scoring points. That’s not good. So, when you turn the ball over and throw interceptions, you’re giving the other team more opportunities and your team less opportunities.

Football is a game you cannot play without making mistakes.

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

I see myself as the best footballer in the world. If you don’t believe you are the best, then you will never achieve all that you are capable of.

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.

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

Your greatest asset is your earning ability. Your greatest resource is your time.

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.

Many people take no care of their money till they come nearly to the end of it, and others do just the same with their time.

Time is money.

Most people spend more time and energy going around problems than in trying to solve them.

If I’d just tried for them dinky singles I could’ve batted around .600.

Since thou are not sure of a minute, throw not away an hour.

I have so much that I want to do. I hate wasting time.

Taking in a baseball game on TV is also a big treat.

People have asked me a lot of times, because I didn’t hit a lot, how long a dozen bats would last me. Depending on the weight and model I was using at that time – I would say eight to 10 cookouts.

I can’t play bridge. I don’t play tennis. All those things that people learn, and I admire, there hasn’t seemed time for. But what there is time for is looking out the window.

Nothing surprises me anymore in the NFL.

A lot of times, people have something that they’re afraid of. They’ve got a client that’s mad at them. They’ve got a project that’s due. And they let that stress hang over their head. I don’t let that happen.

We all started playing football against our best friends, and I can’t remember a moment where, because it was my best friend, I did not want to win against him.

He that rises late must trot all day.

Pop flies, in a sense, are just a diversion for a second baseman. Grounders are his stock trade.

And it comes from saying no to 1,000 things to make sure we don’t get on the wrong track or try to do too much. We’re always thinking about new markets we could enter, but it’s only by saying no that you can concentrate on the things that are really important.

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.

Phil Niekro and his brother were pitching against each other in Atlanta. Their parents were sitting right behind home plate. I saw their folks more that day than they did the whole weekend.
