Ale, man, ale’s the stuff to drink For fellows whom it hurts to think: Look into the pewter pot To see the world as the world’s not.

All the best stories in the world are but one story in reality – the story of escape. It is the only thing which interests us all and at all times, how to escape

When some one ever asks me about the most expensive thing in this world, I always feel that maintaining as well as keeping up your appearance is actually and originally the most expensive thing that you can ever find in this entire world

A boxing workout is the heaviest thing, but it’s the best. The worst part is that boxing gyms are the smelliest things in the universe. You have to lie down on the floor, where everyone has been sweating and spitting, and do 1,000 situps and push-ups.

The funny thing is, I really feel it if I don’t run. I start getting sluggish, and I feel like I need to do it. That’s how I know that the workouts are working – I miss them if I don’t have them.

During workouts, I listen to Pandora, and I like the ’90s pop stations. ‘The Backstreet Boys’ is fun!

I am a sporty person who loves to go to the gym, train, play football.

To write is to bear witness to the world

The world of literature is a world of wonder, a universe of imagination waiting to be explored

Writing is an act of empathy, a way of stepping into the shoes of others and seeing the world from their perspective

The beauty of literature is that it allows us to experience the world through the eyes of others

Writing is a way of exploring the world and discovering new truths about ourselves and others

We have to go into the despair and go beyond it, by working and doing for somebody else, by using it for something else.

ne machine can do the work of fifty ordinary men. No machine can do the work of one extraordinary man.

The world is moving so fast these days that the man who says it can’t be done is generally interrupted by someone doing it

I was your man and you were my girl It was you and me against the world

I tried to give the world a bit of creativity, lyrics. And for me, I will always represent music from Puerto Rico, reggaeton, Latin music

The world can criticize me, but l can always criticize it back.

But I hope to maintain my credibility after I stop playing. Because, yes of course, now I play and I score goals and children all over are mad about me. Not just poor children – all children. We can make them really happy by the way we play, though I have to say that it’s the poor ones that I think of most, the ones who can’t come and watch the games at the stadium. We mean so much to them. That’s why I’m so committed to this work. Later, after you’ve stopped playing, it’s harder to have the same impact. But I will give it a go. I want to continue doing this kind of work for ever.

The world is deathly ill. It is dying. The Great Physician has already signed the death certificate. Yet, there is still a great work for Christians to do. They are to be streams of living water, channels of mercy to those who are still in the world. It is possible for them to do this because they are overcomers.

I studied every move, I became fascinated by thinking what I could have done differently. And I take that approach now as a professional. I am on it, all the time, never stop thinking, learning. You don’t get to be world champion unless you do that.

You don’t get to be world champion unless you do that.

I’m on top of the world, man. And I intend to stay there.

I believe in working harder and putting in the time – being completely obsessed. And, yeah, I think that’s life.

People do what they think works for them, but the sport is about instinct, movement, balance, power… it’s too animalistic to get rigid about your training.

I mean I love movement. I mean the energy that comes from the way I move. We get energy from how we move. I mean the control I get from knowing everything about how my body feels and how it is working.

Greatness is a lot of small things done well. Day after day, workout after workout, obedience after obedience, day after day.

It is easy to hate and it is difficult to love. This is how the whole scheme of things works. All good things are difficult to achieve; and bad things are very easy to get.

We all hoped in 2001 that we could put in place an Afghan government under President Karzai that would be able to control the country, make sure al-Qaeda didn’t come back, and make sure the Taliban wasn’t resurging. It didn’t work out.

Look at the world. There is no pure competitor to the United States of America.

There are lots of countries that are having these kinds of internal civil wars in other parts of the world and nobody is talking about intervening.

Nothing is permanent in this wicked world, not even our troubles

I bear my witness that the worst days I have ever had have turned out to be my best days. And when God has seemed most cruel to me he has then been most kind. If there is anything in this world for which I would bless him more than for anything else it is for pain and affliction. I am sure that in these things the richest tenderest love has been manifested to me.

The truth may be puzzling. It may take some work to grapple with. It may be counterintuitive. It may contradict deeply held prejudices. It may not be consonant with what we desperately want to be true. But our preferences do not determine what’s true.

In Mozambique, the story goes, monkeys do not talk, because they know if they utter even a single word some man will come and put them to work.

Trees, in particular, were mysterious and seemed to me direct embodiments of the incomprehensible meaning of life. For that reason, the woods were the places where I felt closest to its deepest meaning and to its awe-inspiring workings

Without this playing with fantasy, no creative work has ever yet come to birth. The debt we owe to the play of the imagination is incalculable

I don’t have time to be that girl who does the super workout. But I try to be as fit as possible, given my schedule. Even if I do 20 minutes a day, it’s better than nothing.
