The art of politics consists in knowing precisely when it is necessary to hit an opponent slightly below the belt.

Konrad Adenauer
It’s more common than not that bipolar illness will start in the teens. One of the reasons I spend a lot of time on college campuses is exactly that reason. It’s terribly important to talk to students about knowing these things in advance.

Being an actor really, really strengthens me as a director. There’s just a certain type of understanding that comes from having been there and knowing how much is really being asked of actors that helps me.

Aaron Ruell

I’ve always been a very artsy person, and I always preach self-confidence and knowing your worth.

True knowledge lies in knowing how to live.

I’m not the strongest, I’m not the fastest, I can’t jump the highest, so for me, it’s doing it in other ways: changing paces, using your body to get open, knowing your defender. A lot goes into it. You have to study the game.

Something I learned in the Marine Corps that I’ve applied to acting is, one, taking direction, and then working with a group of people to accomplish a mission and knowing your role within that team.

I have learned over the years that when one’s mind is made up, this diminishes fear; knowing what must be done does away with fear.

Knowledge, may it be said, is higher than magic and is more to be sought. It is quite possible to see what is happening and yet not know what is forward, for while seeing is believing, it does not follow that either seeing or believing is knowing.

History and social sciences were my interests. I was always interested in knowing how societies get organized, why there is rich and poor divide, why there are classes. I was never apolitical. I think we are all political in a way. Politics decides our day-to-day life.

When I was a kid, there was no collaboration; it’s you with a camera bossing your friends around. But as an adult, filmmaking is all about appreciating the talents of the people you surround yourself with and knowing you could never have made any of these films by yourself.

Just knowing that through my music I actually inspire people is amazing for me and I find it very heartwarming.

Thia Megia
Breast cancer isn’t one disease – it’s probably four or five different types, and without knowing what type a person has, you can’t optimize treatment for them.

But I know newspapers. They have the first amendment and they can tell any lie knowing it’s a lie and they’re protected if the person’s famous or it’s a company.

When I left college, I though that I would be immediately embraced by the film world and instead found myself sitting in a squat for three years not knowing what to do with my life.

I don’t need to know how they make Coca-Cola. I think it tastes just fine not knowing what the ingredients are. I think there are some things that should be kept secret.

I didn’t even know what a tour manager was, but I was the tour manager, booking agent, all that stuff for almost two years without knowing it. I wasn’t overwhelmed, because I enjoyed doing it.

Knowing others is wisdom, knowing yourself is Enlightenment.

I’m a praying atheist. When I hear an ambulance siren, I ask for a blessing for those people in trouble, knowing that no one’s listening. I think it’s just a habit of mindfulness.

I think that when we were younger, the fact of knowing our uncle Derrike won the Daytona 500. We were racing go-karts then, and I think that really kind of motivated us.

Amber Cope
I can meet any producer in Hollywood and look them in the eye, knowing I didn’t sleep with them, or do drugs with them.

Morgan Brittany
We went into that knowing that we were never going to sell a major record ’cause we didn’t sound like these bands, so I just thought this was an opportunity for us to make the kind of records that we wanted and make some money at the same time.

Today self-consciousness no longer means anything but reflection on the ego as embarrassment, as realization of impotence: knowing that one is nothing.

I will not be concerned at other men’s not knowing me; I will be concerned at my own want of ability.

I learned to put 100 percent into what you’re doing. I learned about setting goals for yourself, knowing where you want to be and taking small steps toward those goals. I learned about adversity and how to get past it.

Have respect, hard work, faith and dedication, all these things. No matter what environment you’re in, they should keep you strong. Knowing this, I surround myself with people who have similar beliefs. People who don’t let me forget who I am or where I come from.

Success is peace of mind, which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you made the effort to become the best of which you are capable.

Broadly speaking, there are two approaches to crime: the realistically detailed police procedural, usually grim and downbeat, and the more left-field, joyous theatre of ideas in which past masters once specialised. Knowing that I would never be able to handle the former, I set about reviving the latter.

Christopher Fowler
He who has seen everything empty itself is close to knowing what everything is filled with.

Antonio Porchia
Success in the majority of circumstances depends on knowing how long it takes to succeed.

Basically, I feel fortunate to have realized what the goal is in life. There’s no point in dying having gone through your life without knowing who you are, what you are, or what the purpose of life is. And that’s all it is.

The odds of me coming into the rocket business, not knowing anything about rockets, not having ever built anything, I mean, I would have to be insane if I thought the odds were in my favor.

Wisdom consists not so much in knowing what to do in the ultimate as knowing what to do next.

I learned that I never really know the true story of my guests‘ lives, that I have to content myself with knowing that when I’m interviewing somebody, I’m getting a combination of fact and truth and self-mythology and self-delusion and selective memory and faulty memory.

Terry Gross
If we think of the immune system as a machine, then we are far from even knowing all of its parts.

Bruce Beutler
As long as I know that I give my best every time, I can sleep well knowing that.

I have been a Manchester United fan all my life and fulfilled every dream I’ve ever had. I am disappointed that my playing days are at an end. However, it comes to us all and it’s knowing when that time is and for me that time is now.

The big picture goal is legacy. It’s knowing that when I’m done, what I’ve done has changed the industry in some way and made an impact in some way.

You think you can go into all those auditions not knowing who you are? The work came after I found my sense of self – when I wasn’t so manic and desperate.

People disparage knowing and the intellectual life, and urge doing. I am content with knowing, if only I could know.

But I like to know that someone is stronger than I am. I want to be able to know that if I get tired, somebody is there to hold up the fort. I like knowing that I can’t pick a refrigerator alone. God did not make me strong enough to do that.

Donna Summer
I loved being asked 2,000 questions a day, storyboarding every move, knowing as though by instinct exactly where the camera had to be, because it was my story.

Richard Grant
In the first day of the Soviet Army‘s arrival, I and the other comrades were isolated and then found ourselves here, not knowing anything… I can only conjecture what could have happened.

Alexander Dubcek
There are two kinds of power you have to fight. The first is the money, and that’s just our system. The other is the people close around you, knowing when to accept their criticism, knowing when to say no.

If nature were not beautiful, it would not be worth knowing, and if nature were not worth knowing, life would not be worth living.

Knowing that I was potentially going to be the first black Bachelorette actually held me back from wanting to do it. With the first, there’s always so much pressure. And I knew I was going to be new to the audience as a lead for a number of reasons – being over 30, being a career woman, and also being black.

Things come to you without you necessarily knowing what they mean.

The best thing about yoga is that it is not just about weight loss but being fit from within. It’s about better concentration, a calmer mind, and knowing your body.

My father cared a lot about me, but he never gave me the satisfaction of really knowing it. Hitting .390 wasn’t enough for him. Nothing seemed to be. He was not trying to be mean. He was just seeing to it that I never got self-satisfied, that I worked hard to get the most out of what I had.

George Brett
These girls come; they last one season; they’re completely used up and dried out and sent back home. That’s not how to make a life. I want a girl to come in knowing full well what she’s getting into and being able to deal and make decisions that will create a career.

In an ideal world, nobody’s work would be just about the money. People could pursue excellence in what they do, take pride in achievement, and derive meaning from knowing that their work improved the lives of others.

Barry Schwartz
Not knowing my birthday had never seemed strange. I knew I’d been born near the end of September, and each year I picked a day, one that didn’t fall on a Sunday because it’s no fun spending your birthday in church.

We don’t need a specialized gang unit. We need patrol officers who specialize in knowing their community.

The soles of Neil Armstrong‘s boots on the moon made permanent impressions on our souls and in our national psyche. Ann and I watched those steps together on her parent’s sofa. Like all Americans we went to bed that night knowing we lived in the greatest country in the history of the world. God bless Neil Armstrong.

I almost think there’s a mystique to not knowing everything about me.

I think I was interested in history without knowing it and that became very clear when I arrived in France. Everything that I was really interested in was there, but I knew nothing, no education, no art education, no education beyond high school. It was extremely overwhelming and it still is.

John Howe
Develop an attitude of gratitude, and give thanks for everything that happens to you, knowing that every step forward is a step toward achieving something bigger and better than your current situation.

Hal Sutton
We have to mainstream everybody. No matter what their circumstances when they were growing up. Part of that is knowing that after they’re finished with school, everybody in this country gets up and goes to work.

You don’t deploy forces into harm’s way without knowing what’s going on.

Living is a form of not being sure, not knowing what next or how. The moment you know how, you begin to die a little.

Agnes de Mille
There’s something so empowering about knowing I can pick up an axe and split a piece of wood.

It was very satisfying knowing I could come in not really knowing what I was going to do, and at the end of the session feeling that I’d really done interesting guitar work and knowing that I’d really contributed to the music.

I don’t practice, but I am still officially in paediatrics. I keep in touch with journals, and I have a very good data bank of medical information and there is a key thing for a writer knowing where to go. I know where to go to get the information that I need.

Jonathan Kellerman
Our understanding of the world around us is constantly being redefined and expanded, and so therefore, it is wiser to be passionate about seeking for truth than knowing it.

One of my skills is knowing, ‘This is where I’m needed, and this is how I’m needed and where I’m going to be in control and where I’m going to cede control and why.’

But I will say this: In my humble opinion, knowing nothing about it, I do believe that they have remote viewers working on where Osama Bin Laden is. I absolutely, 100%, convinced of that.

What keeps me going or keeps me wanting to do more music is just knowing that I can provide for my family.

When we love and make loving commitments, we create families and communities within which people can grow and take risks, knowing that hands will be there to catch them should they fall.

I grew up understanding the pros and cons of what you’re getting into and knowing what comes with your job. I like to keep my private life private, and then work is work. I feel so far I’ve had a really good balance with that.

Evil is knowing better, but willingly doing worse.

Dance has helped me with everything. It was a great foundation for discipline, hard work and, unfortunately, the ever-elusive idea of perfection. It lends itself easily to fight choreography, because that’s what it really is. Choreography. And knowing how to move with someone.

I think it’s his perception of knowing how to make a record build, keeping the integrity of the song in the music and really adding a lot of musical elements to compliment my voice and to compliment the song.

I’m hanging in there, trying to spend as much quality time with my wife and kids as possible, and though it’s very frustrating to know I won’t beat the cancer, there’s a great satisfaction in knowing that I’m walking off the field with no regrets.

The ultimate victory in competition is derived from the inner satisfaction of knowing that you have done your best and that you have gotten the most out of what you had to give.

Major Taylor

True knowledge exists in knowing that you know nothing.

Knowing that we can be loved exactly as we are gives us all the best opportunity for growing into the healthiest of people.

The ego is only an illusion, but a very influential one. Letting the ego-illusion become your identity can prevent you from knowing your true self. Ego, the false idea of believing that you are what you have or what you do, is a backwards way of assessing and living life.

Never speak to an invalid from behind, nor from the door, nor from any distance from him, nor when he is doing anything. The official politeness of servants in these things is so grateful to invalids, that many prefer, without knowing why, having none but servants about them.

You have to be able to be a good loser. You have to be okay knowing you’re going to fail every day in something without getting mad and upset.

Most of us don’t spend any time knowing ourselves. We just keep reacting.

I’m a private person, and I don’t want people knowing what kind of underwear I like. It’s creepy!

Putin goes to bed at night knowing he can break all the rules, and the West will follow all the rules.

The best thing about getting older is knowing history. The longer you live, the longer you have been in a sport, the more you know, and the more you know where things started.

Human vocabulary is still not capable, and probably never will be, of knowing, recognizing, and communicating everything that can be humanly experienced and felt.

I am not as scared about people tearing this one up as I would have been in the past because of the basis in ‘knowing’ this one has. There are people out there that are hungry for this.

From my experience, politicians are much more uncomfortable being made fun of than they are being preached at and screeched at – you know, and the soapbox routine. They’re much more uneasy knowing they’re a target of ridicule.

Please don’t make the mistake of thinking that ‘Oryx and Crake’ is anti-science. Science is a way of knowing, and a tool. Like all ways of knowing and tools, it can be turned to bad uses. And it can be bought and sold, and it often is. But it is not in itself bad. Like electricity, it’s neutral.

I was going to buy a van and move to LA so I could secretly pursue acting without any of my friends knowing.

I’m not sure how young kids get to the point where they’re memorizing and knowing songs, but I knew the words to ‘Missing You’ from John Waite probably from when I was three years old. For whatever reason, that was the song that I gravitated toward when it was on the radio and I was driving around with my mom.

‘Derry Girls’ just has a sense of knowing exactly who these people are and also a fun memory of how things were, even in spite of all the chaos around them. It’s very entertaining and it stays wonderfully buoyant because it focuses on the kids and the families.

I placed my new novel, ‘The Book of Lost Fragrances’, in Paris, knowing it would be a challenge. But the book belonged in the city that is one of the greatest perfume capitals of the world and has been since for more than three centuries.

I was Paul Schrader’s assistant for six months before I went to film school, and he’s very much about knowing what’s going to happen on every page before you even start writing dialogue – the entire plot and character arcs are mapped out.

But I love the idea – whether it’s in my work or where I live – exploring new frontier, and I like putting myself in strange places and trying to survive and figure things out and gather up an infrastructure. I like knowing that I could figure out a way to live anywhere.

Prosecutors frequently overcharge, load up charges on individual defendants, knowing that three strikes laws and harsh mandatory minimum sentences will force people to plea bargain and essentially convict themselves because they’re terrified of doing a life sentence for a relatively minor crime.

I know I wouldn’t be a New York Yankee if it wasn’t for my mom: the guidance she gave me as a kid growing up, knowing the difference from right and wrong, how to treat people and how to go the extra mile and put in extra work, all that kind of stuff.

We are very far from always knowing our own wishes.

Knowing how to age and not being afraid of aging is very healthy.

Evelyn Lauder
It’s like having astronomy without knowing where the stars are.

It doesn’t matter if that felony happened three weeks ago or thirty-five years ago – for the rest of your life, you’ve got to check that box, knowing full well the odds are sky-high your application is going straight to the trash.

Self-awareness is a trait – or maybe ‘practice’ is the more accurate way to put it – that everyone can always improve at. It is part emotional intelligence, part perceptiveness, part critical thinking. It means knowing your weaknesses, of course, but it also means knowing your strengths and what motivates you.

At the end of the day, that’s all I hope for, is that I can sleep well at night knowing that I did everything that I could.

That men have an interest in knowing the world which surrounds them, and consequently that their reflection should have been applied to it at an early date, is something that everyone will readily admit.

There’s nothing worse than seeing your teammates battle, knowing you can’t help.

Nelson Cruz
I’m used to people with very high IQs knowing how to recognize reality, but there’s a huge human tendency where it may be instructive to think that whatever you’re doing to succeed is all right.

Belief in oneself and knowing who you are, I mean, that’s the foundation for everything great.

Abortion is part of being a mother and of caring for children, because part of caring for children is knowing when it’s not a good idea to bring them into the world.

But I like going to church. If you’ve been brought up in the Church of England, it feels like visiting an elderly relative. And I think it’s important that part of the kids’ education is knowing about the Bible.

Sometimes as human beings, we’re so contradictory – we may say something or do something and completely contradict ourselves. That’s what I’m learning to embrace in television – not knowing what’s going to happen.

I grew up pretty much prevented from knowing anything from Communist China except that they were the bad guys that stole our country.

The human life is all one thing, like a blade tracing loops on the ice: a little kid, a twenty-three-year-old infantry sergeant, a middle-aged writer knowing guilt and sorrow.

I had the pleasure of knowing Ronald Reagan before he became Governor of California. He was a truly great human being and we usually spent our time together reminiscing about mutual friends.

James Arness
Everyone knows a lot about me without actually knowing me at all.

I was born with this. It’s a hereditary genetic condition. This is something you can go your whole life without really knowing that something’s wrong. I had high blood pressure, and that was the first sign.

Any fool can have bad luck; the art consists in knowing how to exploit it.

Frank Wedekind
I like knowing about everything, and I think that really helps me in my business.

I began using pseudonyms early in my career, when I was being paid a quarter a cent a word for my work, and when I had to write a lot to earn a living. Sometimes I had three or four stories in a single magazine without the editor knowing they were all by me.

If you think of feelings you have when you are awed by something – for example, knowing that elements in your body trace to exploded stars – I call that a spiritual reaction, speaking of awe and majesty, where words fail you.

There’s more luck in poker. Getting good at golf requires a certain amount of physical aptitude. Both take a lot of patience. Both require knowing when to gamble – either with a big bluff or a high-risk shot. Both can be infuriating.

I think my whole identity is formed around not knowing where I’m from. It might even be that I find comfort in that confusion.

I guess I had a suspicion of it my entire life without knowing exactly what it was – knowing that there was something different about me, which I attributed to being an artist. At 11 or 12 I started sort of clarifying for myself. It took a while.

The consciousness of knowing how to make oneself useful, how to help mankind in many ways, fills the soul with noble confidence, almost religious dignity.

I think knowing people by first names, not by what they do sexually, is really what it’s about. Not being afraid. Fear is the enemy. I’ve always been comfortable with being gay.

The work is flowing from an inner knowing of how things really are.

Martin Puryear
The Cylons are such a frightening concept – not knowing who is real. No way.

Mary McDonnell
But when you lose a family member or something tragic happens, that stays with you forever. You never get over it. Knowing that you have to deal with that for the rest of your life… Football is important, but not as important as you once thought it was.

Writers and travelers are mesmerized alike by knowing of their destinations.

Eudora Welty
Although men are accused of not knowing their own weakness, yet perhaps few know their own strength. It is in men as in soils, where sometimes there is a vein of gold which the owner knows not of.

I was born outraged. I was born without, knowing my people were not counted, not included, not centered. I struggled through low-resourced schools, communities, and housing projects.

Sjogren’s is something you live with your whole life. The good news for me is now I know what’s happening after spending years not knowing… I feel like I can get better and move on.

Next to knowing when to seize an opportunity, the most important thing in life is to know when to forego an advantage.

Every true man, sir, who is a little above the level of the beasts and plants does not live for the sake of living, without knowing how to live; but he lives so as to give a meaning and a value of his own to life.

Luigi Pirandello
I spent the first 25 years of my life not knowing what I wanted to do.

If you enter this world knowing you are loved and you leave this world knowing the same, then everything that happens in between can be dealt with.

One has children in the expectation of dying before them. In fact, you want to make damn sure you die before them, just as you plant a tree or build a house knowing, hoping that it will outlive you. That’s how the human species has done as well as it has.

Most people don’t walk around knowing what other people think about them, and I don’t think it’s healthy to know what faceless strangers who you’ll never meet say about you.

My dad used to work a night shift when I was five years old, so I would get up when he went to work and watch Johnny Carson. I remember not knowing what was going on, but loving it.

It’s not easy waking up every single morning knowing what you’re going to put your body through and having to do it. We don’t have days off.

Bryan Clay
It’s better to have tried and failed than never tried, you can rest easy knowing you gave it a go.

There was something to me that was really compelling about that woman, already knowing she couldn’t get pregnant. When I made that movie I was maybe 24, and to be 24 and already know you can’t get pregnant, that was really interesting to me.

What really broke it down was I had my son while I was locked up, so that really affected me. I can’t really have this, knowing my father was locked up when I was small. So that really out of everything – through the fame, the money, everything – that really put the toll on me: ‘Oh yeah, I gotta change.’

The tragedy of life and of the world is not that men do not know God; the tragedy is that, knowing Him, they still insist on going their own way.

William Barclay
Stories in families are colossally important. Every family has stories: some funny, some proud, some embarrassing, some shameful. Knowing them is proof of belonging to the family.

Life is like school. You aren’t going to be born knowing what to do in every situation. You learn little by little.

Carlos Ruiz
False thinking and false ideologies, dressed in the most pleasing forms, quietly – almost without our knowing it – seek to reduce our moral defenses and to captivate our minds. They entice with bright promises of security, cradle-to-grave guarantees of many kinds.

I did my first interview in 1995 and was asked about my private life. I said, ‘Why would I tell you? I don’t see the logic in anyone knowing that about me. For whose sake? Nobody wins.’

Sidse Babett Knudsen
True scholarship consists in knowing not what things exist, but what they mean; it is not memory but judgment.

One of the most terrible feelings in the world is knowing that someone else doesn’t like you. Especially when you don’t know what you’ve done to deserve it.

If you listen to your fears, you will die never knowing what a great person you might have been.

I do believe babies are born potty-trained. They’re born knowing and are able to give subtle signals that become very prominent if you reinforce them.

She had called in the debt that parents owe a child for bringing her, unasked, into a strange world. One should never make an offer without knowing full well what will happen if it is accepted.

If somebody, without knowing me, comes up to me and wants to upset or belittle me, I think that reflects badly on them, not me… if you’re ever unsure of what to call me or someone like me, my name always does well.

So already, you go from not having a job and thinking you’re going to get fired after the pilot, to knowing that you’ve got a guaranteed job for 4 years.

Michael Shanks
Work joyfully and peacefully, knowing that right thoughts and right efforts inevitably bring about right results.

The hardest part of this whole ordeal is not knowing if your children are getting what they need to survive.

Susan Smith
A good portion of speaking will consist in knowing how to lie.

I have an innate instinct for knowing what’s going to work.

Lori Greiner
The secret of happiness is variety, but the secret of variety, like the secret of all spices, is knowing when to use it.

Daniel Gilbert
I love going to cities around the world and seeing the rainbow flag, knowing that it’s a safe place where I can be myself.

Without knowing this, no man can dress a horse perfectly.

William Cavendish
I think origin stories are a great way to get people reinvested in a story. I mean, we originally accepted ‘Star Trek‘ without knowing anything about Kirk or Spock. All we needed to know was that it took place in the future.

Donald Faison
Knowing how to paint and to use one’s colors rightly has not any connection with originality. This originality consists in properly expressing your own impressions.

Thomas Couture
I’ve always felt robbed of something by people not knowing I was a Jew.

Piper Laurie
I went to Q-school knowing that I could play well and get through.

When I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder the year I turned 50, it was certainly a shock. But as a journalist, knowing a little bit about a lot of things, I didn’t suffer the misconception that depression was all in my head or a mark of poor character. I knew it was a disease, and, like all diseases, was treatable.

I got off on the fact that a guy would be so into me from the get-go without really knowing me. That’s probably why I had so many bad relationships.

Intellectual despair results in neither weakness nor dreams, but in violence. It is only a matter of knowing how to give vent to one’s rage; whether one only wants to wander like madmen around prisons, or whether one wants to overturn them.

Georges Bataille
The right of property holds good in all society; but in the West, ethics invade the personal life in a manner unknown to the East, so much so that the Oriental stands agape at our folly, knowing well that every man brings different instincts and ideas into the world with him.

The first thing I do when I read a part is see if I can identify emotionally with a character. If I make that connection, everything else is just working on knowing their life circumstances and manifesting those through practice and research.

Joshua Leonard
It’s not compatible to expect multilateralism to work and, at the same time, to expect to walk out with everything you wanted. This is a recipe for failure. If we prize the system, we have to come knowing that we will need to make compromises. Sometimes painful compromises.

The minute I heard my first love story, I started looking for you, not knowing how blind that was. Lovers don’t finally meet somewhere. They’re in each other all along.

It’s very hard to wake up every morning knowing that a part of me is missing; that part of my womanhood is gone.

I am not one who was born in the custody of wisdom; I am one who is fond of olden times and intense in quest of the sacred knowing of the ancients.

Gustave Courbet
Wisdom oft times consists of knowing what to do next.

First of all, just knowing people who grew up in the movie business at that time, no one had Mexican maids.

The inner confidence in knowing who you are, believing in your dreams, and following your heart, is what make you radiate from within.

Nothing can really prepare you for when you get in the Formula One car. Knowing that you’re driving a multimillion-dollar car, and if you crash it it’s going to cost a lot of money, and they might not give you another chance, is scary.

Not knowing anything is the sweetest life.

I think it helps to know where you’re at. I don’t want to be coming down 18 knowing I need to make par, and trying to force a birdie or doing something stupid.

I think in the bullpen you can tell during your warmups, if you have a good feel for it. But anything can happen once you get into a game. Sometimes you just wind up throwing it better than ever before one day without knowing why.

Barry Zito
Part of being a winner is knowing when enough is enough. Sometimes you have to give up the fight and walk away, and move on to something that’s more productive.

Donald Trump
Knowing policy does help make the gossip more understandable.

Tabitha Soren
I never focus on my opponent – I focus more on myself: knowing what my strengths are, where I can take the fight, how I can win the fight, and the intensity that I’m going to bring to a fight.

I do feel kind of guilty sometimes ’cause, like, I could buy myself a $5,000 dress or a $3,000 dress, and I’m buying these things, but I’m knowing that my cousin need money for the rent. And then I gotta tell myself, ‘Stop feeling guilty. You worked for this.’

You’re not going to eliminate concussions. Anytime you hit your head, you have a chance of getting a concussion, in any sport, too. I think we have to learn more about it. Part of it is rules, part of it is equipment, part of it is medical studies, knowing more about the brain.

Football is a chess game to me. If you move your pawn against my bishop, I’ll counter that move to beat you. Football is the same way. I study so much film that I know exactly what teams are going to do. I love knowing what a offense is going to run and stuffing that play.

Knowing that the time to sleep has come, the Lord sleeps, and does well in sleeping. Often, when we have been fretting and worrying, we should have glorified God far more had we literally gone to sleep.
