Like a baseball game, wars are not over till they are over. Wars don’t run on a clock like football. No previous generation was so hopelessly unrealistic that this had to be explained to them.

I was the one who took football off the back pages and put it on to page one.

We may consider each generation as a distinct nation, with a right, by the will of its majority, to bind themselves, but none to bind the succeeding generation, more than the inhabitants of another country.

Never explain – your friends do not need it and your enemies will not believe you anyway.

If a man watches three football games in a row, he should be declared legally dead.

The English game is not faster than the German game. Perhaps there are a few more sprints. But there is a different style of football here, partially due to the weather.

At 17, I went to Stanford University to study engineering. My time was occupied with the required reading and the extracurricular duties of managing the baseball and football teams and earning my way.

Phil Niekro and his brother were pitching against each other in Atlanta. Their parents were sitting right behind home plate. I saw their folks more that day than they did the whole weekend.

Fellow citizens, we cannot escape history. We, of this Congress and this administration, will be remembered in spite of ourselves. No personal significance, or insignificance, can spare one or another of us. The fiery trial through which we pass will light us down in honor or dishonor, to the latest generation.

My job is to play quarterback, and I’m going to do that the best way I know how, because I owe that to my teammates regardless of who is out there on the field with me.

To me, football is so much about mental toughness, it’s digging deep, it’s doing whatever you need to do to help a team win and that comes in a lot of shapes and forms.

For this generation, ours, life is nuclear survival, liberty is human rights, the pursuit of happiness is a planet whose resources are devoted to the physical and spiritual nourishment of its inhabitants.

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

People have asked me a lot of times, because I didn’t hit a lot, how long a dozen bats would last me. Depending on the weight and model I was using at that time – I would say eight to 10 cookouts.

I idolised IM Vijayan and Krisanu Dey when I started watching football. After that, it was Bhaichung Bhutia in India and Brazilian Ronaldo abroad.

I love football and the intensity of football in Liverpool, this is what is very good for me.

In India, people are really glued to the Premier League and La Liga.

We were the first generation to have to deal with the modern stardom of football. Some handled it better than others.

Wars are poor chisels for carving out peaceful tomorrows.

My parents were of the generation who thought they were the children of a free Czechoslovakia, the only democracy in central Europe.

At the start of the season, there are 16 teams in the top division looking behind them, making sure they avoid relegation. The fear starts in the boardroom, comes down to managers and through to players. The fans sense it.

The Premier League is one of the most difficult in the world. There’s five, six, or seven clubs that can be the champions. Only one can win, and all the others are disappointed and live in the middle of disaster.

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

The first two games for Churchill, I was so jittery that I didn’t know what to do. I was running more but didn’t know what to do. I’ve no bones accepting the fact that I didn’t know what was happening in the game.

They used to call me ‚Touchdown T.‘ I remember in high school, we had homecoming, and I got in front of the pep rally, and I told them, ‚I’m going to run for three touchdowns.‘ I ran for three touchdowns, kicked the extra point, and took myself out the game.

He had a massive stroke. He died with his tie on. Do you think that could be our generation’s equivalent of that old saying about dying with your boots on?

It is true we have won all our wars, but we have paid for them. We don’t want victories anymore.

Wars of nations are fought to change maps. But wars of poverty are fought to map change.

Wars are, of course, as a rule to be avoided; but they are far better than certain kinds of peace.

If I could explain it to the average person, it wouldn’t have been worth the Nobel Prize.

History has proven that each generation of Howard graduates will forge the way forward for our country and our world.

This generation of Americans has a rendezvous with destiny.

Don’t forget what I discovered that over ninety percent of all national deficits from 1921 to 1939 were caused by payments for past, present, and future wars.

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

It’s a big compliment that so many people want to see me. For them, it’s all about football. That’s what they remember about me.

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.

Basketball is booming, and it’s not just an Under Armour standpoint: it’s about the game itself. Kids going out and playing and being inspired by what we do on the court.

If you made me the national commissioner of football, I’d tell you one thing that I would mandate. The second Saturday in September, we’re going to have conference day. Everybody from the SEC plays a Big 12 team. Everybody from the Big Ten is going to play the ACC. Everybody from the Big East is going to play the Pac-10.

Risk is a part of God’s game, alike for men and nations.

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

If it wasn’t for baseball, I’d be in either the penitentiary or the cemetery.

Each new generation born is in effect an invasion of civilization by little barbarians, who must be civilized before it is too late.

Winning the title in England is the biggest challenge of them all.

In the long term we can hope that religion will change the nature of man and reduce conflict. But history is not encouraging in this respect. The bloodiest wars in history have been religious wars.

I’m just glad I play for Coach Belichick.

Marriage is like a game of chess except the board is flowing water, the pieces are made of smoke and no move you make will have any effect on the outcome.

Football changed my life and it gave me a platform to get out my aggression and it gave me a sense of value.

I always thought about working in England because of the kind of football, the intensity of football. Liverpool was first choice.

I do not think psychoanalysis has a scientific basis. If we can’t explain why a cockroach decides to turn left, how can we explain why a human being decides to do something?

Football is big business – you can’t get away from it. But you have to separate that side from the playing.

Without football, my life is worth nothing.

Football is unconditional love.

At my advanced age – I’m now an octogenarian – I’m constantly amazed by the number of people who want to take my picture.

I’ve been so blessed to play for the greatest coach at a time when our organization has done incredible things. I’ve played with the best teammates. Playing for Mr. Kraft and what his influence on the team has been.

Football in itself is a grand game for developing a lad physically and also morally, for he learns to play with good temper and unselfishness, to play in his place and ‚play the game,‘ and these are the best of training for any game of life.

Politics is the ability to foretell what is going to happen tomorrow, next week, next month and next year. And to have the ability afterwards to explain why it didn’t happen.

In England, football is a big thing to talk about, but Liverpool, it’s a special place. You feel it when you make your first step.

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

The amazing fact is that America is founded on a document. It’s a work in progress. It can be tested by each generation.

I’m speaking for all of us. I’m the spokesman for a generation.

The Joker that Christopher Nolan created in ‚The Dark Knight‘ had the scar across his mouth, and the first time you heard his explanation for it, he makes you believe that’s how he got it. But then you get into the film, and every time he talks about his scar, it’s a totally different story.
