Nothing extraordinary happens to a cricketer if you time his career – which is very short.

The more sand has escaped from the hourglass of our life, the clearer we should see through it.

You know, I’m just 6’9 and 260. And just so happen to be very good at playing the game of basketball.“

Whenever I counsel someone who feels called to be an evangelist, I always urge them to guard their time and not feel like they have to do everything.

Some people think football is a matter of life and death. I assure you, it’s much more serious than that.

Surely a long life must be somewhat tedious, since we are forced to call in so many trifling things to help rid us of our time, which will never return.

Baseball was, is and always will be to me the best game in the world.

March is a month without mercy for rabid basketball fans. There is no such thing as a ‚gentleman gambler‘ when the Big Dance rolls around. All sheep will be fleeced, all fools will be punished severely… There are no Rules when the deal goes down in the final weeks of March. Even your good friends will turn into monsters.

Team sports aren’t my thing. I find it easier to pick something up if I can do it at my own speed. And you don’t need a partner to go running, you don’t need a particular place, like in tennis, just a pair of trainers.

Moderation is the key so I work certain amount of time and then I take a certain amount of time off.

Let the refining and improving of your own life keep you so busy that you have little time to criticize others.

My family didn’t have a lot of money, so I worked my heart out to get my degrees. But the minute I graduated, suddenly everyone was asking me, ‚Well, when are you going to get married and start having kids?‘ And the truth is I had no idea how I would balance the expected role of wife and mother with a challenging career.

I had a lot of success from the start. I never really was tested for long periods of time. I got my first professional job while I was a senior in college. I signed with the William Morris Agency before I graduated.

I’ve found that men I’ve dated who are in the same business can be really competitive. I’ve found a great group of girlfriends in the same business who aren’t competitive, but a few times guys have started comparing careers and it has been… challenging.

Throughout my 20s and early 30s, I had jobs that I loved. I worked in city government. I ran a youth organization. I served as an associate dean at a university. And I couldn’t imagine how a baby would fit into all of that.

I want kids. I want a soccer team, and I want a husband.

Character is the result of two things: mental attitude and the way we spend our time.

If it’s your job to eat a frog, it’s best to do it first thing in the morning. And If it’s your job to eat two frogs, it’s best to eat the biggest one first.

I grew up thinking that a research scientist was a natural thing to be.

I think a simple rule of business is, if you do the things that are easier first, then you can actually make a lot of progress.

If my doctor told me I had only six minutes to live, I wouldn’t brood. I’d type a little faster.

Life well spent is long.

In England, when an athlete gets to the top, we do our best to destroy him.

I played a little basketball. Some football in junior high.

Every day is a major balancing act that I have to figure out and coordinate.

We want to play the AFC Cup every year.

There is a place in the net where the keeper cannot reach the ball.

Thanksgiving dinners take eighteen hours to prepare. They are consumed in twelve minutes. Half-times take twelve minutes. This is not coincidence.

Throughout my career, I fed off the fuel of people not being able to understand me.

One cannot become a saint when one works sixteen hours a day.

It usually takes me more than three weeks to prepare a good impromptu speech.

Time is precious, but truth is more precious than time.

Acting is just a way of making a living, the family is life.

The proper function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time.

Writing is fun – at least mostly. I write for four hours every day. After that I go running. As a rule, 10 kilometers (6.2 miles). That’s easy to manage.

No boxer in the history of boxing has had Parkinson’s. There’s no injury in my brain that suggests that the illness came from boxing.

I used to play a lot of different sports. Now when I look back, I understand that it really helped with my hand-eye coordination.

If I had never ventured beyond being a stand-up comic, then I would be sitting in my house today working on my Leonardo DiCaprio impression.

I must govern the clock, not be governed by it.

And it comes from saying no to 1,000 things to make sure we don’t get on the wrong track or try to do too much. We’re always thinking about new markets we could enter, but it’s only by saying no that you can concentrate on the things that are really important.

Money and time are the heaviest burdens of life, and… the unhappiest of all mortals are those who have more of either than they know how to use.

I didn’t want to be a fashion designer, and for a good half of my career I didn’t like it. I always wanted to do other things.

When I am playing baseball, I give it all that I have on the ball field. When the ball game is over, I certainly don’t take it home. My little girl who is sitting out there wouldn’t know the difference between a third strike and a foul ball. We don’t talk about baseball at home.

You know, there are artists who are 35 and up that still make rap and that still works for them. I don’t know if I want to be that guy.

When someone is impatient and says, ‚I haven’t got all day,‘ I always wonder, How can that be? How can you not have all day?

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

Time is more value than money. You can get more money, but you cannot get more time.

Time is money.

Football coaches don’t have real problems.

Time management is an oxymoron. Time is beyond our control, and the clock keeps ticking regardless of how we lead our lives. Priority management is the answer to maximizing the time we have.

Becoming a writer is not a ‚career decision‘ like becoming a doctor or a policeman. You don’t choose it so much as get chosen, and once you accept the fact that you’re not fit for anything else, you have to be prepared to walk a long, hard road for the rest of your days.

When I write, when I’m going hot, I don’t want to write more than four hours in a row. After that, you’re pushing it.

I aspire my country eventually has a league where all players play 50 games.

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.

Today, Negroes play on every big league club and in every minor league. With millions of other Negroes in other walks of life, we are willing to stand up and be counted for what we believe in. In baseball or out, we are no longer willing to wait until Judgment Day for equality – we want it here on earth as well as in Heaven.

After the first day of practice, there’s not one guy who’s playing at 100 percent or who feels great. Sometimes, getting up in the morning and brushing your teeth is the hardest part of the day – it just hurts.

They’ll forget all the rubbish when I’ve gone, and they’ll remember the football. If only one person thinks I’m the best player in the world, that’s good enough for me.

How much time he saves who does not look to see what his neighbor says or does or thinks.

We live in a time-crunched world, and just about everything we do seems to be urgent.

Beware the barrenness of a busy life.

I have really been disillusioned with soccer in England.
