I give thanks to God and to all the people in the U.K. who have supported me over the years.

I was fortunate and I was lucky that I had a couple of people in my life who cared about me. I had good, loving parents.

What was God doing before the divine creation?

If you are full of motivation as a player, if you are full of concentration, I am open arms.

Everything I have, my career, my success, my family, I owe to America.

The God of this world is riches, pleasure and pride.

Beethoven can write music, thank God, but he can do nothing else on earth.

In this world of sin and sorrow there is always something to be thankful for; as for me, I rejoice that I am not a Republican.

Rebellion against tyrants is obedience to God.

Choosing to be positive and having a grateful attitude is going to determine how you’re going to live your life.

I am thankful for laughter, except when milk comes out of my nose.

Yes, Mother. I can see you are flawed. You have not hidden it. That is your greatest gift to me.

My husband and I had to raise five of my younger brothers and sisters. They lived with us. We sent them to school.

Rejoicing in our joy, not suffering over our suffering, makes someone a friend.

I don’t know if I particularly want to be remembered for anything. I personally do not think I’m a great gift to the world. I’ve been very fortunate.

One looks back with appreciation to the brilliant teachers, but with gratitude to those who touched our human feelings. The curriculum is so much necessary raw material, but warmth is the vital element for the growing plant and for the soul of the child.

I always joke that my kids‘ favorite holiday is Father’s Day. They love the way I celebrate the occasion by writing each of them a thank-you letter and a generous check. It’s my way of letting them know how much I appreciate the great pleasure and privilege of being their dad.

I’ve married somebody who I knew for 14 years. So, I’m just living with a friend. All through my ups and downs in football, from winning the I-League to losing the ISL final, she has been a source of great support.

The will is a beast of burden. If God mounts it, it wishes and goes as God wills; if Satan mounts it, it wishes and goes as Satan wills; Nor can it choose its rider… the riders contend for its possession.

However great may be the work for which we are responsible, we will always do well if we pause to spend time in sacred praise.

All men are born with a nose and five fingers, but no one is born with a knowledge of God.

I’ll do whatever it takes to win games, whether it’s sitting on a bench waving a towel, handing a cup of water to a teammate, or hitting the game-winning shot.

I am indebted to my father for living, but to my teacher for living well.

God proved His love on the Cross. When Christ hung, and bled, and died, it was God saying to the world, ‚I love you.‘

When you have nobody you can make a cup of tea for, when nobody needs you, that’s when I think life is over.

Stability is when the U.K. and U.S. invade a country and impose the regime of their choice.

It’s always interesting about God because it’s like all of the religions in the world say that they pray to the same God, and yet they ask that same one God to divide itself up and agree with this one and fight against that one.

Applause is a receipt, not a bill.

And poets, in my view, and I think the view of most people, do speak God’s language – it’s better, it’s finer, it’s language on a higher plane than ordinary people speak in their daily lives.

In this quest to seek and find God in all things, there is still an area of uncertainty. There must be. If a person says that he met God with total certainty and is not touched by a margin of uncertainty, then this is not good.

Well look, I mean, I think that prayer and holy water, and things like that are all fine. They don’t do any good, but they don’t necessarily do any harm. It’s touching to be thought of in that way. It makes up for those who tell me that I’ve got my just desserts.

I wake up every day inspiring myself, because God gave me life.

My dad was like a stage mother he always pushed me to do what I wanted.

Health is the greatest gift, contentment the greatest wealth, faithfulness the best relationship.

Me don’t dip on nobody’s side. Me don’t dip on the black man’s side, not the white man’s side. Me dip on God’s side, the one who create me and cause me to come from black and white.

My family has very strong women. My mother never laughed at my dream of Africa, even though everyone else did because we didn’t have any money, because Africa was the ‚dark continent‘, and because I was a girl.

To be without some of the things you want is an indispensable part of happiness.

The best way to know God is to love many things.

It’s rare for a startup to make money immediately, so you need to make sure that you have enough saved or that you have another income stream that can support you.

I try to look on all the great things God’s done, and not focus on the negative. It’s a perspective.

I am grateful to be a woman. I must have done something great in another life.

You know, you can only lead them from behind.

I’m an atheist and I thank God for it.

Before God we are all equally wise – and equally foolish.

If you want to make God laugh, tell him about your plans.

In my entire life, any time I’ve ever lost something, I’ve gotten something even better going around the next corner. It’s like one door closes and another door opens. As long as I can walk through the produce section in every grocery store in this country and eat the grapes that they’re going to throw away, I know I can be fine.

I’ve been very fortunate.

It is better to lead from behind and to put others in front, especially when you celebrate victory when nice things occur. You take the front line when there is danger. Then people will appreciate your leadership.

I want to thank The Beatles for almost single-handedly getting me out of writer’s block.

How much better it would be if all could be more aware of God’s providence and love and express that gratitude to Him.

God’s dream is that you and I and all of us will realize that we are family, that we are made for togetherness, for goodness, and for compassion.

I knew through the surgeries that he was on my side and that this wasn’t something where I was gonna feel less of a woman, because my husband wasn’t gonna let that happen.

God doesn’t dwell in the wooden, stony or earthen idols. His abode is in our feelings, our thoughts.

If God created us in his own image, we have more than reciprocated.

My father wasn’t around when I was a kid, and I used to always say, ‚Why me? Why don’t I have a father? Why isn’t he around? Why did he leave my mother?‘ But as I got older I looked deeper and thought, ‚I don’t know what my father was going through, but if he was around all the time, would I be who I am today?‘

But men must know, that in this theatre of man’s life it is reserved only for God and angels to be lookers on.

People who don’t know the true character of God – who don’t believe He is merciful, gracious and slow to anger – can never have a close, personal, intimate relationship with Him.

God sometimes does try to the uttermost those whom he wishes to bless.

Rocks and waters, etc., are words of God, and so are men. We all flow from one fountain Soul. All are expressions of one Love.

‚God‘ is a relative word and has a respect to servants, and ‚Deity‘ is the dominion of God, not over his own body, as those imagine who fancy God to be the soul of the world, but over servants.

We love life, not because we are used to living but because we are used to loving.
