I believe that the labor that is congenial is always the true essence of the happiness that one cam ever has.

While some men see ordinary happenings, others see divine light and guidance

I cannot make you understand. I cannot make anyone understand what is happening inside me. I cannot even explain it to myself.

As far as rearing children goes, the basic idea I try to keep in mind is that a child is a person. Just because they happen to be a little shorter than you doesn’t mean they are dumber than you

Some stories are true that never happened.

Lots of young players have triumphed at United, so why can’t it happen to me? I’m not worried I’m young – it’s an incentive to do the best I can.

I do my profession, my job, I give me all for my club…the rest doesn’t matter to me. I don’t care what happens on the outside.

You need to be able to hit, kick, grapple, wrestle, but for me so much of this is about the mind, about feeling you are in complete control of the space around you, and you know what to do at any moment. That is a wonderful feeling, but it doesn’t just happen, you have to work for it, train for it, think about it all the time.

Gentleness doesn’t get work done unless you happen to be a hen laying eggs.

Can’t is the cancer of happening.

Words can never adequately convey the incredible impact of our attitudes toward life. The longer I live the more convinced I become that life is 10 percent what happens to us and 90 percent how we respond to it.

Life is 10% of what happens to you, and 90% of how you react to it.

I had considered how the things that never happen, are often as much realities to us, in their effects, as those that are accomplished.

I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become

I am the miracle.

The general population doesn’t know what’s happening, and it doesn’t even know that it doesn’t know.

I had at one time a very bad fever of which I almost died. In my fever I had a long consistent delirium. I dreamt that I was in Hell, and that Hell is a place full of all those happenings that are improbable but not impossible. The effects of this are curious. Some of the damned, when they first arrive below, imagine that they will beguile the tedium of eternity by games of cards. But they find this impossible, because, whenever a pack is shuffled, it comes out in perfect order, beginning with the Ace of Spades and ending with the King of Hearts. There is a special department of Hell for students of probability. In this department there are many typewriters and many monkeys. Every time that a monkey walks on a typewriter, it types by chance one of Shakespeare’s sonnets. There is another place of torment for physicists. In this there are kettles and fires, but when the kettles are put on the fires, the water in them freezes. There are also stuffy rooms. But experience has taught the physicists never to open a window because, when they do, all the air rushes out and leaves the room a vacuum.
