In football, I don’t have a lot of friends. The people who I really trust, there are not many… Most of the time, I’m alone.

Football is a simple game based on the giving and taking of passes, of controlling the ball and of making yourself available to receive a pass. It is terribly simple.

Football is a team game and none can survive or excel without the help of the other.

Between men and women there is no friendship possible. There is passion, enmity, worship, love, but no friendship.

God’s got you in the palm of His hand. You won’t leave one second before your time. If God wants you to be here, then you’re going to be here.

I’m perpetually lonely.

When you have good friends you’ve been around, every time they talk, you don’t give them your full attention. You don’t look them in the eye and stop. Half the time, you’re listening, half the time, you are ignoring them.

This world of ours… must avoid becoming a community of dreadful fear and hate, and be, instead, a proud confederation of mutual trust and respect.

It’s so much easier to like people, and to let people in, to trust them until they prove that you should do otherwise. The alternative is being an iceberg.

We are for the most part more lonely when we go abroad among men than when we stay in our chambers. A man thinking or working is always alone, let him be where he will.

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

I’ve always been privileged to play for Coach Belichick, who I’ve always said is the best coach in the history of the league.

Acquaintances we meet, enjoy, and can easily leave behind; but friendship grows deep roots.

Geography has made us neighbors. History has made us friends. Economics has made us partners, and necessity has made us allies. Those whom God has so joined together, let no man put asunder.

If you don’t trust the pilot, don’t go.

Peace, commerce and honest friendship with all nations; entangling alliances with none.

I’ve seen my friends take someone back after they’ve cheated because they fit perfectly.

I don’t trust liberals, I trust conservatives.

A friend is one soul abiding in two bodies.

For how many things, which for our own sake we should never do, do we perform for the sake of our friends.

To keep your secret is wisdom; but to expect others to keep it is folly.

America is a friend to the people of Iraq. Our demands are directed only at the regime that enslaves them and threatens us. When these demands are met, the first and greatest benefit will come to Iraqi men, women and children.

Act, and God will act.

True friendship can afford true knowledge. It does not depend on darkness and ignorance.

Take a course in good water and air; and in the eternal youth of Nature you may renew your own. Go quietly, alone; no harm will befall you.

The more you stay in this kind of job, the more you realize that a public figure, a major public figure, is a lonely man.

There is no lonelier man in death, except the suicide, than that man who has lived many years with a good wife and then outlived her. If two people love each other there can be no happy end to it.

Gee, its lonesome in the outfield. It’s hard to keep awake with nothing to do.

If you want peace, you don’t talk to your friends. You talk to your enemies.

Friends… they cherish one another’s hopes. They are kind to one another’s dreams.

No woman ever hates a man for being in love with her, but many a woman hate a man for being a friend to her.

All of my misfortunes come from having thought too well of my fellows.

The gift of loneliness is sometimes a radical vision of society or one’s people that has not previously been taken into account.

It is in the thirties that we want friends. In the forties we know they won’t save us any more than love did.

Friendship often ends in love, but love in friendship – never.

One of the most beautiful qualities of true friendship is to understand and to be understood.

A friend never defends a husband who gets his wife an electric skillet for her birthday.

Derbies are always difficult to play because you have to handle the pressure. There’s no advantage or disadvantage for either side.

A man can be himself only so long as he is alone, and if he does not love solitude, he will not love freedom, for it is only when he is alone that he is really free.

It is better to be alone than in bad company.

As Dortmund manager, I lived in a street, and my two neighbours were Schalke fans. They showed it every day, flying flags!

Life could be wonderful if people would leave you alone.

When the people you love are gone, you’re alone.

I was very depressed when I was 19… I would go back to my apartment every day and I would just sit there. It was quiet and it was lonely. It was still. It was just my piano and myself. I had a television and I would leave it on all the time just to feel like somebody was hanging out with me.

True friends stab you in the front.

I don’t think that my kind of journalism has ever been universally popular. It’s lonely out here.

Shared joys make a friend, not shared sufferings.

I am a bit of a solitude person – a solitary personality. I like being on my own. I don’t have any major friendships or relationships with people.

Don’t be a writer; it’s a terrible way to live your life. There’s nothing to be gained from it but poverty and obscurity and solitude. So if you have a taste for all those things, which means that you really are burning to do it, then go ahead and do it. But don’t expect anything from anybody.

It is fun to be in the same decade with you.

In the same way the sun never grows weary of shining, nor a stream of flowing, it is God’s nature to keep His promises. Therefore, go immediately to His throne and say, ‚Do as You promised.‘

I met Woz when I was 13, at a friend’s garage. He was about 18. He was, like, the first person I met who knew more electronics than I did at that point. We became good friends, because we shared an interest in computers and we had a sense of humor. We pulled all kinds of pranks together.

As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend.

When I was a kid, I never thought much about football. I thought about following in my family’s footsteps and going into professional wrestling.

The nice thing is that when people come up to me, it’s the football they remember, not all the other rubbish.

One friend in a lifetime is much, two are many, three are hardly possible. Friendship needs a certain parallelism of life, a community of thought, a rivalry of aim.

I have a really close relationship with Mike Bloomberg.

Trust, but verify.

If I am not, may God put me there; and if I am, may God so keep me.

There’s plenty about God that I don’t understand and can’t explain. But I come back to my core belief that God is good, that He’s for us.

Friendship is but another name for an alliance with the follies and the misfortunes of others. Our own share of miseries is sufficient: why enter then as volunteers into those of another?
