I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn’t, than live as if there isn’t and to die to find out that there is.
Albert CamusI believe in innovation and that the way you get innovation is you fund research and you learn the basic facts.
Bill GatesThere is no unique picture of reality.
Stephen HawkingIf we long to believe that the stars rise and set for us, that we are the reason there is a Universe, does science do us a disservice in deflating our conceits?
Carl SaganA 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.
Matthew McConaugheyThe word ‚belief‘ is a difficult thing for me. I don’t believe. I must have a reason for a certain hypothesis. Either I know a thing, and then I know it – I don’t need to believe it.
Carl JungThe old Dodgers were something special, but of my teammates overall, there was nobody like Pee Wee Reese for me.
Jackie RobinsonMen in general are quick to believe that which they wish to be true.
Julius CaesarOur faith is faith in someone else’s faith, and in the greatest matters this is most the case.
William JamesThere is a soak-the-rich attitude in the air, a feeling that if you have a lot of money you must have got it by some ghastly means. I can quite happily say there was never any family money. All the money we got was mine, just from writing books.
Terry PratchettIt is the heart which perceives God and not the reason. That is what faith is: God perceived by the heart, not by the reason.
Blaise PascalYou cannot mix sports with politics.
Jackie ChanWhenever I’m confused about something, I ask God to reveal the answers to my questions, and he does.
Beyonce KnowlesFor ninety per cent of those who view him from outside, the Christian God looks like a great landowner administering his estates, the world. Now this conventional picture, which is too well justified by appearances, corresponds in no way to the dogmatic basis or point of view of the Gospels.
Pierre Teilhard de ChardinChristianity, if false, is of no importance, and if true, of infinite importance. The only thing it cannot be is moderately important.
C. S. LewisIf any of you should ask me for an epitome of the Christian religion, I should say that it is in one word – prayer. Live and die without prayer, and you will pray long enough when you get to hell.
Charles SpurgeonI failed to make the chess team because of my height.
Woody AllenPrayer is not an old woman’s idle amusement. Properly understood and applied, it is the most potent instrument of action.
Mahatma GandhiLuck is believing you’re lucky.
Tennessee WilliamsIs the babe young? When I behold it, it seems more venerable than the oldest man.
Henry David ThoreauI guess for every driver the aim is to beat their teammate.
Lando NorrisReading isn’t good for a ballplayer. Not good for his eyes. If my eyes went bad even a little bit I couldn’t hit home runs. So I gave up reading.
Babe RuthPeople often speak of God being even-handed. God is not even-handed. God is biased, in favor of the weak, of the despised.
Desmond TutuI love football and the intensity of football in Liverpool, this is what is very good for me.
Jurgen KloppI was acting when I was playing baseball.
Bob UeckerI don’t believe in nepotism. I don’t much like the idea of parents who interfere.
Anthony HopkinsCage Warriors is a brilliant organisation. They’re doing great things for European MMA, and they’re giving the platform for guys like me who came through. They’re vital. I’m forever grateful for the opportunities I got.
Conor McGregorWe must always think about things, and we must think about things as they are, not as they are said to be.
George Bernard ShawNo man ever believes that the Bible means what it says: He is always convinced that it says what he means.
George Bernard ShawAll who call on God in true faith, earnestly from the heart, will certainly be heard, and will receive what they have asked and desired.
Martin LutherJohn Kerry believes in an America where hard work is rewarded.
Barack ObamaIn the little world in which children have their existence, whosoever brings them up, there is nothing so finely perceived and so finely felt, as injustice.
Charles DickensThey say miracles are past.
William ShakespeareI’m not sure what you need first – the players believing or others believing in them – but in the end, both have to think it.
Jurgen KloppI don’t think a coach becomes the right coach until he wins a championship.
Kobe BryantPeople usually think according to their inclinations, speak according to their learning and ingrained opinions, but generally act according to custom.
Francis BaconIf you would convince a man that he does wrong, do right. Men will believe what they see.
Henry David ThoreauI like sports, and I enjoy playing basketball and lifting weights.
Joel OsteenPeople 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.
Cristiano RonaldoHe is dead in this world who has no belief in another.
Johann Wolfgang von GoetheI always try to put a seed of hope into people’s hearts. I’m not there to teach them doctrine necessarily, but to let them know that God is a good God, and has a plan for their lives. Hopefully, that will restore their faith, or draw them into faith.
Joel OsteenBy giving us the opinions of the uneducated, journalism keeps us in touch with the ignorance of the community.
Oscar WildeI believe in everything until it’s disproved. So I believe in fairies, the myths, dragons. It all exists, even if it’s in your mind. Who’s to say that dreams and nightmares aren’t as real as the here and now?
John LennonHow people themselves perceive what they are doing is not a question that interests me.
Noam ChomskyIf my critics saw me walking over the Thames they would say it was because I couldn’t swim.
Margaret ThatcherThrough the ages, many of His children have had access to the blessings of the gospel, but many more have not.
Russell M. NelsonEverything that we see is a shadow cast by that which we do not see.
Martin Luther King, Jr.I believe that when you think of the negative, and you get up discouraged – ‚There’s nothing good in my future‘ – I really believe it almost ties the hands of God. God works where there’s an attitude of faith. I believe faith is all about hope.
Joel OsteenWe should live our lives as though Christ were coming this afternoon.
Jimmy CarterYou are the sum total of everything you’ve ever seen, heard, eaten, smelled, been told, forgot – it’s all there. Everything influences each of us, and because of that I try to make sure that my experiences are positive.
Maya AngelouBut we try to pretend, you see, that the external world exists altogether independently of us.
Alan WattsYou should not believe your conscience and your feelings more than the word which the Lord who receives sinners preaches to you.
Martin LutherI used to rush home to see ‚Match Of The Day.‘ Whatever I was doing, I wouldn’t miss it.
George BestThe Christian resolution to find the world ugly and bad has made the world ugly and bad.
Friedrich NietzscheSome people mistakenly think nature is very nice and benevolent and never betrays.
Margaret AtwoodMen often take their imagination for their heart; and they believe they are converted as soon as they think of being converted.
Blaise PascalThe writer must believe that what he is doing is the most important thing in the world. And he must hold to this illusion even when he knows it is not true.
John SteinbeckBelieving in progress does not mean believing that any progress has yet been made.

Lou HoltzFootball is unconditional love.
Tom Brady
