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

Joe Frazier got hit more than me – and he doesn’t have Parkinson’s.

Everybody asks if putting is like shooting free throws. It has a very similar kind of mindset. And it’s just you, the ball, and the target.

I am like a man so busy in letting rooms in one end of his house, that he can’t stop to put out the fire that is burning the other.

I don’t have time to be lonely. And I get fearful of relationships because I feel guilty about wanting someone to be completely faithful and loyal, when I can’t even give them 10 percent of the attention that they need. It’s just the reality of my time, my life, my schedule.

Nothing surprises me anymore in the NFL.

I don’t think a coach becomes the right coach until he wins a championship.

I happened to come along in the music business when there was no trend.

Life well spent is long.

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

Half our life is spent trying to find something to do with the time we have rushed through life trying to save.

The answer to all writing, to any career for that matter, is love.

People who have time on their hands will inevitably waste the time of people who have work to do.

In my school, the brightest boys did math and physics, the less bright did physics and chemistry, and the least bright did biology. I wanted to do math and physics, but my father made me do chemistry because he thought there would be no jobs for mathematicians.

My only scheme was to be a rapper.

If you look at the history of Notre Dame, if you hire a coach who’s been successful at another college program, they’re going to be ultra successful at Notre Dame because the talent will always be there.

When I was playing, there were always lots of teams in contention for the league – Arsenal, Manchester City, Liverpool, Leeds. Every week was a big game and a big battle.

I did go to Wellesley, a women’s college. And I am of a kind of strange generation which is transitional in terms of women who wanted to go out and get jobs.

Women can’t do everything at the same time, we need to understand milestones in our lives comes in segments.

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.

Personally yes I want our country to have one league. When it’s going to be one league, which we all are hearing, it has to be abiding by AFC rules.

It needs time. Nobody wants to hear it, but that’s the truth: if you want to have success in the future, you have to be ready to work now.

The wise man should restrain his senses like the crane and accomplish his purpose with due knowledge of his place, time and ability.

I’m proud to play for Real Madrid because I have fun; when you no longer have fun it’s a sign that it’s time to leave. For now though, I’m happy here at the greatest club in the world.

I have never cared especially for outdoor sports and have no desire to excel at tennis, swimming, or golf. I’ll leave those things to the men.

I saw 14 games in two and a half months at Churchill. It was what I really signed for. They were eyeing the championship and also playing the AFC Cup. So I am very thankful for Churchill, the coaching staff and the players.

Pop flies, in a sense, are just a diversion for a second baseman. Grounders are his stock trade.

Everyone loves a win in India. No one wants to lose a match. It is the cricketer who absorbs all the pressure.

Time and money spent in helping men to do more for themselves is far better than mere giving.

February is always a bad month for TV sports. Football is gone, basketball is plodding along in the annual midseason doldrums, and baseball is not even mentioned.

The average family spends 30 hours in front of a television, and they say they don’t have the time to have a balanced, integrated life.

Most people spend more time and energy going around problems than in trying to solve them.

I can remember earning £5,000 a game playing for Hibs at the end of the Seventies. They let me commute from London, train on the Friday and play on Saturday. That lasted until my friends at the Inland Revenue decided to take two-thirds. That wasn’t very entertaining for me.

It has been my observation that most people get ahead during the time that others waste.

I can’t deny that label-support gave me a leg up – though not every successful artist needs it.

Oh, I can’t play soccer, and I’m not a great swimmer. I won’t drown, but you won’t see me doing laps in a pool.

I’ve always liked being busy. If I have nothing to do for a week, it just makes me mad.

Dreaming about being an actress, is more exciting then being one.

It’s not essential for me to have a big debut week; it’s not essential for me to have big radio records.

Short cuts make long delays.

In twenty years I’ve never had a day when I didn’t have to think about someone else’s needs. And this means the writing has to be fitted around it.

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

For somebody who loves foreign policy, being Secretary is the best job in the world – but it doesn’t happen twice.

The one thing I regret was that my work required an enormous amount of my time, and a lot of travel.

It wasn’t so long ago that I was a working mom myself. And I know that sometimes, much as we all hate to admit it, it’s just easier to park the kids in front of the TV for a few hours, so we can pay the bills or do the laundry or just have some peace and quiet for a change.

The way I figured it, I was even with baseball and baseball with me. The game had done much for me, and I had done much for it.

When there’s so much left to do, why spend your time focusing on things you’ve already done, counting trophies or telling stories about the good old days?

Players now have a groin injury for months and months, and I often think they don’t really give a toss whether they’re playing or not because they’re getting paid anyway.

If I said I would knock out Sonny Liston in 1 minute and 49 seconds of the first round, that would hurt the gate.

I try to encourage all my teammates, and I sure hope that some day all athletes – my kids, high school kids – get the same level of care I get. Because you can play for a long period of time without having knee replacements, without having all the major head trauma that people are dealing with.

Hopefully I won’t be the last big splash at Under Armour.

That nice, soft pillow and the warm blanket, and it’s all comfortable, and no one wants to leave that comfort – but if you can wake up early in the morning, get a head start on everyone else that’s still sleeping, get productive time doing things that you need to do – that’s a huge piece to moving your life forward.

A coach, especially at a college level – much more at a college or high school level, than at a pro level – you’re more of a teacher than an actual coach.

Friends are thieves of time.

One today is worth two tomorrows.

But I think there are a set of experiences that turn a potential writer into a working writer, and then there are places in your life were you start to recognize what you want to do.

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.

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

I don’t think there is anything wrong in earning money from the sport you love. If you work hard and get benefits from it, there is no harm. The day you feel that you are not working hard and are only looking at the benefits, that’s where the problem is.

To share the dressing room of club and country with Bhai was an amazing experience. I learnt a lot from him and other senior players like Renedy Singh.

A broad margin of leisure is as beautiful in a man’s life as in a book. Haste makes waste, no less in life than in housekeeping. Keep the time, observe the hours of the universe, not of the cars.
