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

I have always thought I was the best ever player.

The secret to happiness is to face the fact that the world is horrible.

I’ve learned that men and women who are living wholehearted lives really allow themselves to soften into joy and happiness. They allow themselves to experience it.

When I came up to bat with three men on and two outs in the ninth, I looked in the other team’s dugout and they were already in street clothes.

Happiness: a good bank account, a good cook, and a good digestion.

Man never thinks himself happy, but when he enjoys those things which others want or desire.

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

Only two things are necessary to keep one’s wife happy. One is to let her think she is having her own way, and the other is to let her have it.

I do think coaches need to get away from the game more, though. It’s good for them.

I’m a football fan, a sports fan, a fan of competition.

Happiness lies in the joy of achievement and the thrill of creative effort.

Eventually you won’t think of ‚the Internet business.‘ You’ll think of it more like news, weather, sports, but even that taxonomy isn’t clear.

Since you get more joy out of giving joy to others, you should put a good deal of thought into the happiness that you are able to give.

Happy is he who still loves something he loved in the nursery: He has not been broken in two by time; he is not two men, but one, and he has saved not only his soul but his life.

Nothing surprises me anymore in the NFL.

There are some days when I think I’m going to die from an overdose of satisfaction.

Happiness is a virtue, not its reward.

I collect records. And cats. I don’t have any cats right now. But if I’m taking a walk and I see a cat, I’m happy.

The day I think I’m not enjoying the game and contributing the way I would like to, I’ll hang up my boots.

Oh, I can’t play soccer, and I’m not a great swimmer. I won’t drown, but you won’t see me doing laps in a pool.

Too often in life, something happens and we blame other people for us not being happy or satisfied or fulfilled. So the point is, we all have choices, and we make the choice to accept people or situations or to not accept situations.

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.

Everyone loves a win in India. No one wants to lose a match. It is the cricketer who absorbs all the pressure.

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

I don’t really focus on these things – on what tags are given to me or what people think of me off the field – stuff like that. 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.

I’m not going to lie; listen, I’m nice at basketball.

When I found somebody who I fell in love with, it made me feel different than I felt the rest of the day. It was electrifying. That’s what inspired the ‚Off to the Races‘ melodies. That’s one of the times when you’re feeling electrified by someone else and they make you happy to be alive.

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

I had talked to a lot of people in Golden State’s front offices before the draft. They said they liked me, but they had a lot of guards, so I didn’t think that I would end up there.

Once it gets down to single-digit games, you know the season’s end is approaching, and we’re all pretty physically tired.

I used to play a lot of different sports. Now when I look back, I understand that it really helped with my hand-eye coordination.

Our pleasures were simple – they included survival.

People take different roads seeking fulfillment and happiness. Just because they’re not on your road doesn’t mean they’ve gotten lost.

He who loves 50 people has 50 woes; he who loves no one has no woes.

Resolve not to be poor: whatever you have, spend less. Poverty is a great enemy to human happiness; it certainly destroys liberty, and it makes some virtues impracticable, and others extremely difficult.

I had no talent for science. What was infinitely worse: all my fraternity brothers were engineers.

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

Going to college offered me the chance to play football for four more years.

Stupidity is a talent for misconception.

What the ISL has done is create the hype and buzz around football that it very badly needs.

Happiness is nothing more than good health and a bad memory.

Trust yourself. Create the kind of self that you will be happy to live with all your life. Make the most of yourself by fanning the tiny, inner sparks of possibility into flames of achievement.

Man needs, for his happiness, not only the enjoyment of this or that, but hope and enterprise and change.

If I am not allowed to laugh in heaven, I don’t want to go there.

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.

When you are joyous, look deep into your heart and you shall find it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy. When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.

I’m so happy I discovered early how wonderful music makes me feel.

My wife and I are very affectionate.

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.

The happiest moments are when we sit down and we feel the presence of our brothers and sisters, lay and monastic, who are practicing walking and sitting meditation.

Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.

Because of your smile, you make life more beautiful.

You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.

The only thing that could spoil a day was people. People were always the limiters of happiness except for the very few that were as good as spring itself.

I’m mortified to be on the stage, but then again, it’s the only place where I’m happy.

Red is such an interesting color to correlate with emotion, because it’s on both ends of the spectrum. On one end you have happiness, falling in love, infatuation with someone, passion, all that. On the other end, you’ve got obsession, jealousy, danger, fear, anger and frustration.

To win a national championship, you’ve got to be a little lucky.

Aside from singing, I’m also a dancer. I’ve been dancing since I was 8.

One is lucky to be born in a place where no one is doing it, because then you can say, ‚Well, obviously I can write better than everyone else in high school.‘ You have no idea of the competition.

Love is trembling happiness.
