Serious sport is war minus the shooting.

It never bothered me when people would say, ‚You only win championships because you’re playing with Shaq.‘ It bothered me when he said it.

I’ve been pleased to work with so many wonderful stars through the years. This has been an amazing journey. I hope it continues.

Let’s just be smart this time. I’m looking for smart.

Every driver is different, so I just hope whatever I do is going to be good enough, because it’s not that I just want to be with McLaren. I want to win with McLaren.

I’m bad at picking heroes.

I have really been disillusioned with soccer in England.

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.

As commanders and staff officers, we are coaches and sentries for our units: how can we coach anything if we don’t know a hell of a lot more than just the TTPs?

Most of the stuff I try in a game, in the moment, I have supreme confidence I’m going to execute it.

I am pretty chill before games. Have a go-to routine that keeps me busy until we are ready to take the court so I’m not just sitting around anxious for the game.

We herd sheep, we drive cattle, we lead people. Lead me, follow me, or get out of my way.

In Dortmund, they say the derby is more important than the championship. You can feel it around the game.

In politics, nothing happens by accident. If it happens, you can bet it was planned that way.

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.

How you go about testing is just very different to just being in the situation of qualifying, having to go out, having to nail the lap.

You will never know the feeling of a driver when winning a race. The helmet hides feelings that cannot be understood.

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

People think hard sparring will get you sharp. And you do get sharp in the gym. But anytime I’ve trained that way, I’ve actually been a little bit flatter in the fight. And the knockout shot hasn’t come. It’s almost because my training has been too hard.

When did I know I had talent? I think it started when I first started playing sports, organized sports.

We all know what flopping is when we see it. The stuff that you see is where guys aren’t really getting hit at all and are just flailing around like a fish out of water.

We murdered them 0-0.

It’s not called quitting if you quit while you ahead. It’s about being aware and being strategic enough to know that you got to get out the pool at some point. You got to put your clothes back on and dry off.

I have always thought I was the best ever player.

Serious sport has nothing to do with fair play. It is bound up with hatred, jealousy, boastfulness, disregard of all rules and sadistic pleasure in witnessing violence. In other words, it is war minus the shooting.

You don’t lead by hitting people over the head – that’s assault, not leadership.

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.

Politics is like football; if you see daylight, go through the hole.

I began playing Monopoly for real when I was 26 years old. Today, my wife and I have approximately 1,400 little green houses – each paying us monthly. You do not have to be a rocket scientist or have a Harvard degree to play Monopoly for real.

We can succeed only by concert. It is not, ‚Can any of us imagine better,‘ but, ‚Can we all do better?‘

I’m just looking to learn, grow, stay focused, and become a better fighter and a better athlete.

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

We’re African-American and we work together as a family, so people assume we’re like the Jacksons. But I didn’t have parents using me to get out of a bad situation.

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

Having the support from everyone, the bosses, whoever within the team, definitely makes it much easier for me as a driver.

When you have that respect from your teammates, it makes it a lot more comfortable.

You will kill 10 of our men, and we will kill 1 of yours, and in the end it will be you who tire of it.

I hope to play until I’m, like, 38 or something, and that’s a lot of years in the game and a lot of travel and a lot of sacrifice on my family’s part.

It is a fine game to play – the game of politics – and it is well worth waiting for a good hand before really plunging.

It is piracy, not overt online music stores, which is our main competitor.

My uncle played rugby, and my dad played football, and they used to argue which game was the roughest – and everybody agreed rugby was. It’s a great team sport, and to be successful, every person has to play in the same level.

On this team, we’re all united in a common goal: to keep my job.

Competition is a sin.

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.

I am fortunate to have played 15 years for my country.

There is but one way for a president to deal with Congress, and that is continuously, incessantly, and without interruption. If it is really going to work, the relationship has got to be almost incestuous.

If you can’t beat them, arrange to have them beaten.

To all the positions, I just bring the determination to win. Me being an unselfish player, I think that can carry on to my teammates. When you have one of the best players on the court being unselfish, I think that transfers to the other players.

Experience teaches us that it is much easier to prevent an enemy from posting themselves than it is to dislodge them after they have got possession.

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

If you’re entering anything where there’s an existing marketplace, against large, entrenched competitors, then your product or service needs to be much better than theirs. It can’t be a little bit better, because then you put yourself in the shoes of the consumer… you’re always going to buy the trusted brand unless there’s a big difference.

The first time I stepped on an NBA court I became a businessman.

The only time my prayers are never answered is on the golf course.

We named the book ‚Extreme Ownership‘ because we really found that when we looked at not only at leaders but at teams that were the most successful, we found that the ones that had this attitude of extreme ownership were the ones that did the best, and it’s definitely an attitude that I had.

Nobody ever defended anything successfully, there is only attack and attack and attack some more.

I look at athletes in all sports and try to picture what kind of football player they’d be, what position they’d play and so on.

Even if soccer is not number one in the United States, they do things very well here. There’s much our country can learn from the U.S.A., because we all know that soccer is not the main game in India. We can still do more things, like provide better facilities for the players so they can perform well.

Just as I wanted to outdo everyone when I played, I had to outdo everyone when we were out on the town.

I don’t know anything that builds the will to win better than competitive sports.

Success depends upon previous preparation, and without such preparation there is sure to be failure.

I was lucky – I found what I loved to do early in life. Woz and I started Apple in my parents‘ garage when I was 20. We worked hard, and in 10 years, Apple had grown from just the two of us in a garage into a $2 billion company with over 4000 employees.
