Bragging just sounds good, man.
The WeekndWhen 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.
Jackie RobinsonYou gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, ‚I lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.‘
Eleanor RooseveltI am impelled, not to squeak like a grateful and apologetic mouse, but to roar like a lion out of pride in my profession.
John SteinbeckFashion is here to help make people look very important. If they have good taste and choose what suits them, I give them options on how they can do that. It’s always sexy, and it’s always with the same result: making women look fantastic.
Vivienne WestwoodI can honestly say that I was never affected by the question of the success of an undertaking. If I felt it was the right thing to do, I was for it regardless of the possible outcome.
Golda MeirBecause of its phantom nature, and despite elaborate defense mechanisms, the ego is very vulnerable and insecure, and it sees itself as constantly under threat. This, by the way, is the case even if the ego is outwardly very confident.
Eckhart TolleWe can approach God’s throne with boldness because we are confident in the power of what Jesus accomplished for us at the cross.

Paul AusterFashion is that thing that saved me from being sad.
Lady GagaMy 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.
Clint EastwoodAs long as I am playing competitive football I am happy.
Sunil ChhetriI had no future with the Dodgers, because I was too closely identified with Branch Rickey. After the club was taken over by Walter O’Malley, you couldn’t even mention Mr. Rickey’s name in front of him. I considered Mr. Rickey the greatest human being I had ever known.
Jackie RobinsonInaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage. If you want to conquer fear, do not sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy.

Sunil ChhetriAn atheist is a man who watches a Notre Dame – Southern Methodist University game and doesn’t care who wins.
Dwight D. EisenhowerWhen I look back at what I had to go through in black baseball, I can only marvel at the many black players who stuck it out for years in the Jim Crow leagues because they had nowhere else to go.
Jackie RobinsonAll the top players in the world play 45-50-60 games. You need that many games, even the strikers need that many games.
Sunil ChhetriSome of the stuff I do on the court is what most people think they can do.
Stephen CurryI am a professional sportswriter, among other things, and I take the games seriously. It is only one of my many powerful addictions, and I don’t mind admitting any of them.
Hunter S. ThompsonIt was a personal decision for me to stand and say that cricket is all I have in life, there’s nothing I need to do other than cricket. If I want to achieve whatever I thought as a kid, I need to work hard and not let it go to waste.
Virat KohliMost of the stuff I try in a game, in the moment, I have supreme confidence I’m going to execute it.
Stephen CurryYou listen to Charlie Parker or John Coltrane before they found their voice, they sounded different. And when you listen to them after they found their voice on their instruments, they sound more confident and in control. Artists have that, too.
Nipsey HussleI have always thought I was the best ever player.
George BestWhoever the coach is, my job is to talk to him, understand him and be a better player under him and give my best.
Sunil ChhetriI wasn’t a pretty girl. I was six feet tall at 15, you know.
Maya AngelouI support Real Madrid. I’m a big fan of Cristiano Ronaldo.
Virat KohliThe joy of doing well as a batsman for your country is much more than that little joy of going for a party and enjoying music. It is a completely different high, and I get high by performances. That’s what I enjoy now.
Virat KohliAs an athlete, you’d better laugh at yourself when you slip in the mud.
Dwayne JohnsonEvery man I meet is in some way my superior.
Ralph Waldo EmersonWhat the ISL has done is create the hype and buzz around football that it very badly needs.

Michelle ObamaAnd, honestly, if somebody wants to criticize me for not being a trainwreck, that’s fine with me!
Taylor SwiftI have the Midas touch, in the way that when I hook up with a project, I feel, not speaking cocky or conceited, but there’s a confidence I have. I learned that from Muhammad Ali; I used to bodyguard him. He taught me about confidence. So when it comes to any job I work, I’m gonna do it good; I’m going to bring it over the top.
Mr. TA big ego means that you have some confidence in your abilities, really, and that you’re prepared to take the risk of trying them out.
Brian EnoA fit body gives you confidence. And there’s nothing more impressive than a great attitude, which you can wear on your sleeve. But you’ll have to remember the difference between being rude and being confident.
Virat KohliI don’t really care how the Patriots are perceived, truthfully. I really don’t. I really don’t. Look, if you’re a fan of our team, you root for us, you believe in our team, and you believe in what we’re trying to accomplish. If you’re not a fan of us, you have a different opinion.
Tom BradyBut sports carried me away from being in a gang, or being associated with drugs. Sports was my way out.
LeBron JamesI still enjoy watching a batter successfully cross home plate, but nothing thrills me more than seeing the Holy Spirit at work in hearts as the Gospel is carried into stadiums, across the airwaves, and around the world.
Billy GrahamMy goal is to be number one in MMA.
Conor McGregorNever put your money against Cassius Clay, for you will never have a lucky day.
Muhammad AliMost of the confidence which I appear to feel, especially when influenced by noon wine, is only a pretense.

Jurgen KloppWhat is Champions League level? I saw a lot of rubbish games at Champions League level.
Jurgen KloppFootball changed my life and it gave me a platform to get out my aggression and it gave me a sense of value.
Dwayne JohnsonCourage is a mean with regard to fear and confidence.
AristotleConfidence… thrives on honesty, on honor, on the sacredness of obligations, on faithful protection and on unselfish performance. Without them it cannot live.
Franklin D. RooseveltAs a part of the NFL, things change every year.
Tom BradyAll my life, I’ve been trying to make a hole-in-one. The closest I’ve come is a bogey.
Lou HoltzAs soon as I got out there I felt a strange relationship with the pitcher’s mound. It was as if I’d been born out there. Pitching just felt like the most natural thing in the world. Striking out batters was easy.
Babe RuthSometimes 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.
LeBron JamesI’m not a star. I don’t feel I’m so great. So how can I make you feel great just because you’ve got my signature on a piece of paper?
Mr. TI want to grow old without facelifts. I want to have the courage to be loyal to the face I have made.
Marilyn MonroeAll 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.
Babe RuthIn my heart, I’m confident I could make a good president.
Joe BidenFebruary 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.
Hunter S. ThompsonToday, 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.
Jackie RobinsonI plan on taking athletics as far as I can.
Dwayne Johnson
