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.

The more players I have, the more difficult choices there are for me, but the better it is for LFC.

It’s the philosophies of being an athlete that carry me today.

If a guy hits .300 every year, what does he have to look forward to? I always tried to stay around .190, with three or four RBI. And I tried to get them all in September. That way I always had something to talk about during the winter.

How do you catch a knuckleball? You wait until it stops rolling, then go pick it up.

Where would I be without baseball? Who am I without baseball?

I’d just as soon play tennis with the net down.

No one remembers who climbed Mount Everest the second time.

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.

Ever since the morning of May 29, 1953, when Tenzing Norgay and I became the first climbers to step onto the summit of Mount Everest, I’ve been called a great adventurer.

I don’t know about the 2026 World Cup. But I would love to see Anirudh Thapa sending a cross to Jhingan and I would love to watch it from the stands.

Every night on the court I give my all, and if I’m not giving 100 percent, I criticize myself.

I’ve done everything I wanted to do, even if I have had to pay a very high price – which has been the case most of the time.

One is lucky to be born in a place where no one is doing it, because then you can say, ‚Well, obviously I can write better than everyone else in high school.‘ You have no idea of the competition.

I have really been disillusioned with soccer in England.

Desire is the starting point of all achievement, not a hope, not a wish, but a keen pulsating desire which transcends everything.

He is really something. I love him. He is Sir Arsene Wenger.

If what you did yesterday seems big, you haven’t done anything today.

The attempt and not the deed confounds us.

Trust yourself. Create the kind of self that you will be happy to live with all your life. Make the most of yourself by fanning the tiny, inner sparks of possibility into flames of achievement.

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

‚Rocky‘ and ‚Rocky III‘ were the best.

Our patience will achieve more than our force.

Peace is not merely a distant goal that we seek, but a means by which we arrive at that goal.

Growth is the great separator between those who succeed and those who do not. When I see a person beginning to separate themselves from the pack, it’s almost always due to personal growth.

I don’t want to achieve immortality through my work. I want to achieve it through not dying.

I am results-oriented.

Applause waits on success.

Celebrity is the chastisement of merit and the punishment of talent.

The nice thing is that when people come up to me, it’s the football they remember, not all the other rubbish.

All of my friends who have younger siblings who are going to college or high school – my number one piece of advice is: You should learn how to program.

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

You shall, I question not, find a way to the top if you diligently seek for it; for nature hath placed nothing so high that it is out of the reach of industry and valor.

Anything you really want, you can attain, if you really go after it.

That’s what you live for as a sportsman. You have to put up a fight.

I think of myself more as a sportsman than I do an artist.

I knew I’d be in the UFC since I started my career.

Someday, after mastering the winds, the waves, the tides and gravity, we shall harness for God the energies of love, and then, for a second time in the history of the world, man will have discovered fire.

With drive and a bit of talent, you can move mountains. I know. I’ve done it.

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

Playing basketball all my life, I’ve collected a lot of different basketball shoes. It’s pretty much all I wear.

Get place and wealth, if possible with grace; if not, by any means get wealth and place.

Sports are basically our way of feeling sorry for ourselves. Most men can’t become athletes. We’re watching guys who actually made it. We see them dunking and making touchdowns. Then we think about ourselves when we were younger.

I think about the milestones from my childhood and what it will be like to watch our kids go through them. Taking Riley to her first day of school was a whirlwind. I can’t imagine what middle school is going to be like, and high school, and graduation.

There is something special which rides on a game between Liverpool and United.

Football (soccer) is a matter of life and death, except more important.

I feel very lucky to make a living from my imagination; I’m very grateful for that. I like that what I do is create. I’m feeling very lucky to have had the career I had. It’s gone much longer and bigger than I ever thought it would be.

I signed for Mohun Bagan and then I got the news that Bhaichung also joined the club. The first day he met me he told me that I have heard about you and you are doing well. I told everyone in my family and friends that Bhaichung told me that.

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.

If I hit a man, his head is gonna go into the bleachers.

You may think it was a very little thing, and in these days it seems to me like a trifle, but it was a most important incident in my life. I could scarcely credit that I, the poor boy, had earned a dollar in less than a day; that by honest work, I had earned a dollar. I was a more hopeful and thoughtful boy from that time.

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

The next MVP of the Super Bowl is just as likely to have been a full-time grocery store bagger last year as a Heisman Trophy winner.

Duke is an ugly word in Kentucky. Nothing in the world compares to the joy of beating those hateful swine from Duke.

To be able to finish opportunities that I do get in the paint, that makes a difference.

All achievements, all earned riches, have their beginning in an idea.

My folks ain’t graduated from high school or nothing like that, so we always had to struggle in the family – and I come from a big family.

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.

All great achievements require time.

All I can tell them is pick a good one and sock it. I get back to the dugout and they ask me what it was I hit and I tell them I don’t know except it looked good.

My own dreams fortunately came true in this great state. I became Mr. Universe; I became a successful businessman. And even though some people say I still speak with a slight accent, I have reached the top of the acting profession.
