We all started playing football against our best friends, and I can’t remember a moment where, because it was my best friend, I did not want to win against him.

There is danger that we lose sight of what our friend is absolutely, while considering what she is to us alone.

Friendship, like credit, is highest when it is not used.

God is not so wary as we, else He would give us no friends, lest we forget Him! The charms of the heaven in the bush are superseded, I fear, by the heaven in the hand, occasionally.

We were the first generation to have to deal with the modern stardom of football. Some handled it better than others.

Great American sport. Horseshoes is a very great game. I love it.

I married my best friend that happens to be a girl.

In college, a loss is pretty devastating. That feeling kind of goes away in an 82-game season. You hate to lose, but you also have a lot more games to make up for it.

We make our friends; we make our enemies; but God makes our next door neighbour.

I used to dream about taking the ball ‚round the keeper, stopping it on the line, and then getting on my hands and knees and heading it into the net. When I scored against Benfica in the 1968 European Cup final, I nearly did it. I left the keeper for dead, but then I chickened out.

I respect Chris Brown. I’d like to call myself a friend – I don’t know if I’m allowed to do that.

It’s what counts, isn’t it, on the Sunday, rather than pre-season testing. If you lock up, you do a little mistake, it’s nothing, but if you do it on Sunday, you lose a place or you have to box for a flat spot or something like that. It’s a much bigger problem.

No matter what message you are about to deliver somewhere, whether it is holding out a hand of friendship, or making clear that you disapprove of something, is the fact that the person sitting across the table is a human being, so the goal is to always establish common ground.

My aim is to create a happy society with genuine friendship. Friendship between Tibetan and Chinese peoples is very essential.

A lot of football success is in the mind. You must believe you are the best and then make sure that you are.

It’s really annoying for me. That’s not what I’m playing for, to be the face of the NBA or to be this or that or to take LeBron’s throne or whatever.

The way to catch a knuckleball is to wait until it stops rolling and then pick it up.

I remember when I was in high school I didn’t have a new dress for each special occasion. The girls would bring the fact to my attention, not always too delicately. The boys, however, never bothered with the subject. They were my friends, not because of the size of my wardrobe but because they liked me.

You can wipe out your opponents. But if you do it unjustly you become eligible for being wiped out yourself.

Do I not destroy my enemies when I make them my friends?

I’ve married somebody who I knew for 14 years. So, I’m just living with a friend. All through my ups and downs in football, from winning the I-League to losing the ISL final, she has been a source of great support.

I was born in Africa. I came to California because it’s really where new technologies can be brought to fruition, and I don’t see a viable competitor.

You can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you.

When I talk to kids, I’m really listening. When I do that, we have a little bit of a bigger connection than me being Kendrick Lamar and you being a student. It’s almost like we’re friends. Because a friend listens.

Rule number one is: Beat your team-mate.

I am sure as everyone knows that I am not the happiest if I don’t do a good job in qualifying or the race.

Why is it so hard for people to believe that white people are poor?! I wouldn’t say I lived in a ghetto; I’d say I lived in the ‚hood. The same friends I had back then are the same people on tour with me now.

The victor belongs to the spoils.

I do love the films I’ve done in the past. I work hard in my movies and my friends work hard and we’re trying to make people laugh and I’m very proud of that.

I gave my archive to Emory University because there’s a really dear friend who teaches there, Rudolph Byrd, and he’s the editor.

It is easy enough to be friendly to one’s friends. But to befriend the one who regards himself as your enemy is the quintessence of true religion. The other is mere business.

We, we – as I say, we go in and shake up other industries and I think, you know, we do it differently and I think that industries are not quite the same as a result of Virgin attacking the market.

Wisdom I know is social. She seeks her fellows. But Beauty is jealous, and illy bears the presence of a rival.

Go up close to your friend, but do not go over to him! We should also respect the enemy in our friend.

To me, being the best means proving it in different countries and championships.

Love is blind; friendship closes its eyes.

It is easy to say how we love new friends, and what we think of them, but words can never trace out all the fibers that knit us to the old.

There is some self-interest behind every friendship. There is no friendship without self-interests. This is a bitter truth.

A friend never defends a husband who gets his wife an electric skillet for her birthday.

We can be thankful to a friend for a few acres, or a little money; and yet for the freedom and command of the whole earth, and for the great benefits of our being, our life, health, and reason, we look upon ourselves as under no obligation.

The language of friendship is not words but meanings.

I’ve met some Evertonians in the street, and they’ve been friendly. I’ve had taxi drivers who have been Everton fans. They’ve been really nice.

We’ve always had a pretty competitive and pretty ferocious battle with British Airways… It’s lasted now about 14 years, and we’re very pleased to have survived it.

My wife and I don’t compete. We know each other’s preferences, and we work to provide those for each other. One will take over when the other is faced with something he or she dislikes. That’s what friends do.

The rule of friendship means there should be mutual sympathy between them, each supplying what the other lacks and trying to benefit the other, always using friendly and sincere words.

It kills me to lose. If I’m a troublemaker, and I don’t think that my temper makes me one, then it’s because I can’t stand losing. That’s the way I am about winning, all I ever wanted to do was finish first.

Rejoicing in our joy, not suffering over our suffering, makes someone a friend.

I’m all for a good rivalry as long as lines are drawn.

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

I enjoyed climbing with other people, good friends, but I did quite a lot of solo climbing, too.

Trust is not the same as faith. A friend is someone you trust. Putting faith in anyone is a mistake.

If Barbie is so popular, why do you have to buy her friends?

Football is all about fans.

Bo Derek is a really good friend of mine, and I’d like to spend more time with her.

I have a really close relationship with Mike Bloomberg.

A friend should be a master at guessing and keeping still: you must not want to see everything.

These young guys are playing checkers. I’m out there playing chess.

In war, you win or lose, live or die – and the difference is just an eyelash.

I do understand it’s not easy to run an I-league club. I have been part of many and I know the scene.

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.

All of us have been trained by education and environment to seek personal gain and security and to fight for ourselves. Though we cover it over with pleasant phrases, we have been educated for various professions within a system which is based on exploitation and acquisitive fear.
