My dad always taught me to never be satisfied, to want more and know that what is done is done.

What makes the difference between a great player and just a normal player is dedication, work, commitment.

Sometimes in football you have to score goals.

I can't understand why Scholes has never won the player of the year award. He should have won it long ago. Maybe it's because he doesn't seek the limelight like some of the other 'stars'.

Hindus, if they want unity among different races, must have the courage to trust the minorities.

We do not see the lens through which we look.
