Just like every person who works for Dortmund is a fan of the club, it was the same at Mainz. When I was a player there, we had 800 supporters on rainy Saturday afternoons, and if we died, no one would notice or come to our funeral. But we loved the club, and we have this same feeling at Dortmund.

While some doubted that connecting the world was actually important, we were building. While others doubted that this would be sustainable, you were forming lasting connections. We just cared more about connecting the world than anyone else. And we still do today.

I like working. That’s when I’m feeling my best. And the people around me know that. My wife knows that.

Politics is a noble activity. We should revalue it, practise it with vocation and a dedication that requires testimony, martyrdom, that is to die for the common good.

For just when ideas fail, a word comes in to save the situation.

I signed for Mohun Bagan and then I got the news that Bhaichung also joined the club. The first day he met me he told me that I have heard about you and you are doing well. I told everyone in my family and friends that Bhaichung told me that.

Sectional football games have the glory and the despair of war, and when a Texas team takes the field against a foreign state, it is an army with banners.

As a comedian, I found this thing, this profession, that suits my mind and life force. To drop it to do something else? I just don’t get that.

The arts have only ever interested a small minority of people, which acted as a kind of nursery to support artists.

If the Great Way perishes there will morality and duty. When cleverness and knowledge arise great lies will flourish. When relatives fall out with one another there will be filial duty and love. When states are in confusion there will be faithful servants.

I feel that when you care about your music, taking risks is something you should do to keep things exciting.

My mother never gave up one me. I messed up in school so much they were sending me home, but my mother sent me right back.

In poverty and other misfortunes of life, true friends are a sure refuge. The young they keep out of mischief; to the old they are a comfort and aid in their weakness, and those in the prime of life they incite to noble deeds.

As a former resident with strong personal and ministry ties to the North Star State, I pray that the good people of Minnesota will show their support for God’s definition of marriage, between a man and a woman.

I wanted very much to learn to draw, for a reason that I kept to myself: I wanted to convey an emotion I have about the beauty of the world.

We have an obligation to help people that cannot help themselves. The mentally retarded, the physically retarded, et cetera.

I was a naturally aggressive left-back, a cut-throat tackler.

I support Real Madrid. I’m a big fan of Cristiano Ronaldo.

I knew early on that I wanted to entertain in some form. And I knew I would work as hard as anyone to do it.

When I do something, I do it full steam ahead.

No one is a friend to his friend who does not love in return.

If there is anything that a man can do well, I say let him do it. Give him a chance.

I was a good football player, and I had a chance to play with some great players.

I believe that I’m one of the best in the world at what I do, and that’s all I’ve ever wanted to be.

Football coaches don’t have real problems.

People should pursue what they’re passionate about. That will make them happier than pretty much anything else.

I’m gonna be making records anyway, even if I had to sell ‚em out of the trunk of my car. I’m that kind of musician and singer.

I used to dream about taking the ball ‚round the keeper, stopping it on the line, and then getting on my hands and knees and heading it into the net. When I scored against Benfica in the 1968 European Cup final, I nearly did it. I left the keeper for dead, but then I chickened out.

I have never left another senator out to dry. Never.

It seems like when I was growing up there was more compromise, wanting to work with each other, and I think all of them – all of the lawmakers – have hearts to do what’s right, and they all are passionate about it.

Whatever I have tried to do in life, I have tried with all my heart to do it well; whatever I have devoted myself to, I have devoted myself completely; in great aims and in small I have always thoroughly been in earnest.

A business absolutely devoted to service will have only one worry about profits. They will be embarrassingly large.

Love is the answer to everything. It’s the only reason to do anything. If you don’t write stories you love, you’ll never make it. If you don’t write stories that other people love, you’ll never make it.

I like to work.

If someone told me I could play two Asian Cup finals, I wouldn’t have believed it.

God didn’t make me to make movies, flex muscles, buy gold. What you love the most becomes your God… If I never make another dollar, my life is complete.

Not bragging by any means, but I could have done a lot of other stuff as far as working in films go and working in television… I had chances to do that stuff, but I like baseball, I really do.

Because my career is so important, I think I make a lot of – I wouldn’t call them sacrifices, but just concessions for my job. I love what I do, and I want to do it for a long time.

I’m in awe of the universe, but I don’t necessarily believe there’s an intelligence or agent behind it. I do have a passion for the visual in religious rituals, though, even though they may be completely empty and bereft of substance. The incense is powerful and provocative, whether Buddhist or Catholic.

I would love to sign on to do a movie if it was the right role and if it was the right script, because I would be taking time away from music to tell a big grand story, and spend all of my time and pouring all of my emotions into being someone else. So for me to do that, it would have to be a story worth telling.

At the end of the day, we started playing football because we loved it.

It took a lot of blood, sweat and tears to get to where we are today, but we have just begun. Today we begin in earnest the work of making sure that the world we leave our children is just a little bit better than the one we inhabit today.

I love music, and after my first experience with movies, I can’t wait to do more.

A lot of people can’t stand touring but to me it’s like breathing. I do it because I’m driven to do it.

WWE is a space where I thrived, and I loved, and I still do. I love connecting with an audience; that is the greatest thing about going back to WWE.

I love making music. That’s what I love to do. So I don’t feel like there’s any need to take a break unless I want to.

I guess, taking away all the theatrics or the costuming and the outer layers of what I do, I’m a writer… I write.

Success is the result of perfection, hard work, learning from failure, loyalty, and persistence.

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.

Anything that encourages people to pick up an instrument and play, I’m fully behind.

It was a personal decision for me to stand and say that cricket is all I have in life, there’s nothing I need to do other than cricket. If I want to achieve whatever I thought as a kid, I need to work hard and not let it go to waste.

Tonight – to you, the great silent majority of my fellow Americans – I ask for your support.

Music is really driving my whole life.

He has a right to criticize, who has a heart to help.

I hate letting my teammates down. I know I’m not going to make every shot. Sometimes I try to make the right play, and if it results in a loss, I feel awful. I don’t feel awful because I have to answer questions about it. I feel awful in that locker room because I could have done something more to help my teammates win.

To be honest, I never really considered myself to be too much of an actress. So, whenever I get the chance to do music, I’m always, like, just in it. It’s like, ‚Oh my God, I finally get to do this. I’m so happy.‘

I need drama in my life to keep making music.

I never had to choose a subject – my subject rather chose me.

I’ve had mixtapes that have been better than albums I’ve heard from other artists. I take my time; I put my heart into it.

Many people mistake our work for our vocation. Our vocation is the love of Jesus.

At the end of the day, your fans are the people who support you in and out. And their opinions matter.
