Nothing surprises me anymore in the NFL.

Going to college offered me the chance to play football for four more years.

Expectations are a form of first-class truth: If people believe it, it’s true.

Wrestling is intimate. You can reach out and touch the wrestlers.

Football is unconditional love.

Maybe the ones burning my jersey were never LeBron fans anyway.

I have always thought I was the best ever player.

I regard golf as an expensive way of playing marbles.

I’m really a normal football manager.

I get a little bit emotional during a game!

Before I was born, my father told my mother, ‚If it’s a boy, he’s going to be a scientist.‘

Many people feel so pressured by the expectations of others that it causes them to be frustrated, miserable and confused about what they should do. But there is a way to live a simple, joy-filled, peaceful life, and the key is learning how to be led by the Holy Spirit, not the traditions or expectations of man.

In 1962 I was named Minor League Player of the Year. It was my second season in the bigs.

I think my top salary was maybe in 1966. I made $17,000 and 11 of that came from selling other players‘ equipment.

I plan on taking athletics as far as I can.

All that I know most surely about morality and obligations I owe to football.

My goal is to be number one in MMA.

There can be no greater error than to expect, or calculate, upon real favors from nation to nation. It is an illusion which experience must cure, which a just pride ought to discard.

I don’t really focus on these things – on what tags are given to me or what people think of me off the field – stuff like that. My main focus is always to do well on the field for the Indian cricket team. When people say good things about me off the field, I am more than happy to accept them.

I’m not who people expect me to be. I’m not Henry Kissinger.

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

When I used to play sports, I’d be the one cheering the team on, ‚Come on, we can beat these guys!‘ That’s just in me.

Some people feel affronted when something they thought to be true doesn’t happen. If that’s the case, then your sense of risk is much higher, and that leads to risk aversion. You need to be able to be comfortable in uncertainty.

All my life, I’ve been trying to make a hole-in-one. The closest I’ve come is a bogey.

I was 19 or 20 when The Beatles were at their peak, and I was coming up to the peak of my career, too. I was also the first footballer to have long hair, and that’s how I got my nickname ‚the Fifth Beatle.‘

I can’t say this enough – the food that you put into your bodies can actually help you get better grades. And it can also affect your performance in sports and other activities too. You see, when you give your body the best possible fuel, you have more energy, you’re stronger, you think more quickly.

I see myself as the best footballer in the world. If you don’t believe you are the best, then you will never achieve all that you are capable of.

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

You want me to own a team and deal with these rich, spoiled stubborn athletes, and try to get them to perform? No thank you.

Some people, through luck and skill, end up with a lot of assets. If you’re good at kicking a ball, writing software, investing in stocks, it pays extremely well.

Unless someone wants to look funny, I’ll not recommend anyone to copy my bowling action. But on a serious note, with the confidence that I have got from the amount of runs I have been scoring, when I’m thrown the ball to bowl, I am pretty sure of what I have to do. I may not be the most attractive to watch while bowling, but I can be effective.

I swim like a fish and I have an amazing kick.

Football fans share a universal language that cuts across many cultures and many personality types. A serious football fan is never alone. We are legion, and football is often the only thing we have in common.

Even though I had won in other categories, I didn’t have any expectations when I came into F1. Qualifying fifth, finishing sixth? I didn’t expect it.

When I’m out on the football field, I have so much confidence in what I’m doing.

In T20, you don’t have time to get distracted – it’s so quick, you have to run around in the field, and while batting, you don’t actually think about anything else.

I’ve thought sometimes about what I like about football, and it’s playing together.

I still love football, though, and I think cooking is like football. It’s not a job, it’s a passion. When you become good at it, it’s a dream job and financially you need never to worry. Ever.

What we anticipate seldom occurs: but what we least expect generally happens.

Our desires always disappoint us; for though we meet with something that gives us satisfaction, yet it never thoroughly answers our expectation.

Sometimes in the past when I played something might make me lose focus, or I would go home after a game where I thought I could have played better and I would let it hang over my head for a long time when it shouldn’t.

I like sports, and I enjoy playing basketball and lifting weights.

I don’t believe you could be a 39-year-old quarterback in the NFL and eat cheeseburgers every day. I want to be able to do what I love to do for a long time.

As a part of the NFL, things change every year.

Never marry someone in hope that they’ll change later.

I had been playing for a while, and I asked Louisville Slugger to send me a dozen flame treated bats. But when I got it, I realized they had sent me a box of ashes.

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

I guess for every driver the aim is to beat their teammate.

When you come to see a picture of mine, I want you to know that I’m not going to do anything that will make you uncomfortable. I want you to know that you won’t be disappointed in me.

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

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

The best football is always about expression of emotion. Always.

My superhero has always been Tendulkar, and it will be Tendulkar for life. He is someone who has inspired me immensely. Just watching him play for India, I used to dream of winning games for India, because he used to do it single handedly.

There’s a lot of pressure putting an album out all over the world and hoping people everywhere like it.

Reading isn’t good for a ballplayer. Not good for his eyes. If my eyes went bad even a little bit I couldn’t hit home runs. So I gave up reading.

Never put your money against Cassius Clay, for you will never have a lucky day.

At the core, one of my original goals is to redefine what the streets expect.

Men like a ref decision because they just want to get back to the game.

I know what I do for my team and what my teammates expect of me on both ends of the floor.

On the field, aggression can sometimes be a positive emotion. It boosts performance and can lift your game. But over the years, I have learnt that restrained aggression is a better animal. That way, you will conserve your energy and won’t spend yourself quickly.

An atheist is a man who watches a Notre Dame – Southern Methodist University game and doesn’t care who wins.
