We have a great group of guys that really sacrifice every night, care about each other, and try to play the right away.

Human progress is neither automatic nor inevitable… Every step toward the goal of justice requires sacrifice, suffering, and struggle; the tireless exertions and passionate concern of dedicated individuals.

I believe everyone should have a good death. You know, with your grandchildren around you, a bit of sobbing. Because after all, tears are appropriate on a death bed. And you say goodbye to your loved ones, making certain that one of them has been left behind to look after the shop.

As I’ve said, there were patriots who supported this war, and patriots who opposed it. And all of us are united in appreciation for our servicemen and women, and our hopes for Iraqis‘ future.

In our seeking for economic and political progress, we all go up – or else we all go down.

Mankind, the spirit of the earth, the synthesis of individuals and peoples, the paradoxical conciliation of the element with the whole, and of unity with multitude – all these are called Utopian, and yet they are biologically necessary.

Truth stands, even if there be no public support. It is self-sustained.

There is love enough in this world for everybody, if people will just look.

When I came up to bat with three men on and two outs in the ninth, I looked in the other team’s dugout and they were already in street clothes.

It’s rule number one, really – beating your teammate.

My fate cannot be mastered; it can only be collaborated with and thereby, to some extent, directed. Nor am I the captain of my soul; I am only its noisiest passenger.

I’m more than comfortable just sitting back and scoring 21, 22 points or whatever and getting 10, 11 assists whatever the case might be. More than comfortable with that. It’s just a matter of the pieces that you have around you and what you can do to elevate everybody else.

God puts people in our lives on purpose so we can help them succeed and help them become all He created them to be. Most people will not reach their full potential without somebody else believing in them.

The Revlon Run/Walk effort to focus on women’s cancer has my wholehearted support and gratitude.

The world is put back by the death of every one who has to sacrifice the development of his or her peculiar gifts to conventionality.

A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.

One life is all we have and we live it as we believe in living it. But to sacrifice what you are and to live without belief, that is a fate more terrible than dying.

I knew through the surgeries that he was on my side and that this wasn’t something where I was gonna feel less of a woman, because my husband wasn’t gonna let that happen.

Do your work with your whole heart, and you will succeed – there’s so little competition.

I personally have always been in favor of people who are gay being permitted to marry legally – and I still feel that way.

Let the ruling classes tremble at a communist revolution. The proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains. They have a world to win. Workingmen of all countries, unite!

The world is round so that friendship may encircle it.

The chain of wedlock is so heavy that it takes two to carry it – and sometimes three.

If you are full of motivation as a player, if you are full of concentration, I am open arms.

I didn’t take many penalties, but I never missed one.

I’m no longer just a candidate. I’m the President. I know what it means to send young Americans into battle, for I have held in my arms the mothers and fathers of those who didn’t return. I’ve shared the pain of families who’ve lost their homes, and the frustration of workers who’ve lost their jobs.

There have been so many great players that I’ve played with, that I’ve played against over the years.

It is far more difficult to be simple than to be complicated; far more difficult to sacrifice skill and easy execution in the proper place, than to expand both indiscriminately.

I like to work with artists from around the world. There are so many new inspiring filmmakers.

A man will speedily sit down and sympathize with a friend’s griefs, but if he sees him honored and esteemed, he is apt to regard him as a rival and does not so readily rejoice with him. This ought not to be; without effort, we ought to be happy in our brother’s happiness.

Every relationship should eventually become a long-term relationship. Any director that I meet now isn’t just a director. He’s potentially a friend, and someone I can call to do a project that I want or that I have.

The Revolution did not assume a socialist nature because of support from the U.S.S.R.; it was the other way around: support from the U.S.S.R. was produced by the socialist nature of the Cuban Revolution. To such a degree, that when the U.S.S.R. disappears, Cuba keeps on being socialist.

We have observed that, in society and the world in which we live, selfishness has increased more than love for others, and that men of good will must work, each with his own strengths and expertise, to ensure that love for others increases until it is equal and possibly exceeds love for oneself.

If there is anything that a man can do well, I say let him do it. Give him a chance.

I like the celebrations when I see my teammates do it, when I see fellow footballers on the international scene do it. I think it looks good, it suits most of them, if you know what to do, synchronise, then do it.

Some people go to priests; others to poetry; I to my friends.

I play a complicated position in an intensely team-oriented game.

I think every chef, not just in America, but across the world, has a double-edged sword – two jackets, one that’s driven, a self-confessed perfectionist, thoroughbred, hate incompetence and switch off the stove, take off the jacket and become a family man.

In pop music, the public usually see the results – the hit records, the Grammy Awards performances, the concert tours – but not all the work that goes into getting into the spotlight. And not everyone realizes that, even if you have a lot of talent, chances are you won’t make it.

I’m grateful for the opportunities God gave me to minister to people in high places; people in power have spiritual and personal needs like everyone else, and often they have no one to talk to.

That is America. That is America. Those bonds of affection; that common creed. We don’t fear the future; we shape it. We embrace it, as one people, stronger together than we are on our own.

I found that with depression, one of the most important things you could realise is that you’re not alone.

Believe me, I’m much easier to be around when we win than when we lose.

In a very real sense, it will not be one man going to the moon it will be an entire nation. For all of us must work to put him there.

Men weren’t always happy for me. It was very challenging to watch a woman be so successful.

You throw batting practice, you warm up pitchers, you sit and cheer. You do whatever you have to do to stay on the team.

The philosophical idea that there are no more distances, that we are all just one world, that we are all brothers, is such a drag! I like differences.

It is not so much our friends‘ help that helps us, as the confidence of their help.

I never had a policy; I have just tried to do my very best each and every day.

I would rather earn 1% off a 100 people’s efforts than 100% of my own efforts.

I met India Arie, who is one of my favorite artists of all time. It was really sweet; I was broken up with a month before, and she stayed up texting me all night and was helping me through it. Her text message looks like a song of hers. She’s sort of become my fairy godmother.

We must begin seeing other creatures as equal. Existence makes us all equal.

When we have the ball, the other team has to run. The most important thing is for the players to be prepared to be a little bit wild.

Couples are wholes and not wholes, what agrees disagrees, the concordant is discordant. From all things one and from one all things.

Obviously everybody, if you’re playing in the league, you’ve got to have somewhat of an ego about how you play the game.

But let there be spaces in your togetherness and let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another but make not a bond of love: let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.

Part of the American dream is to live long and die young. Only those Americans who are willing to die for their country are fit to live.

Defending peace is the duty of all.

I do my job like I breathe.

I know you’ve heard it a thousand times before. But it’s true – hard work pays off. If you want to be good, you have to practice, practice, practice. If you don’t love something, then don’t do it.

Where there is righteousness in the heart, there is harmony in the house; when there is harmony in the house, there is order in the nation; when there is order in the nation, there is peace in the world.
