Paul Rodriguez

The main thing is confidence. I’m gaining more and more confidence to do whatever I want to do on the basketball court, whether it is shooting threes or sprinting to the rim and finishing or ball handling.

As things are, and as fundamentally they must always be, poetry is not a career, but a mug’s game. No honest poet can ever feel quite sure of the permanent value of what he has written: He may have wasted his time and messed up his life for nothing.

We all think that this relationship thing is a game out here. All I’m saying to women is, ‘Okay. If it’s a game, here are the rules that we play by.’

I don’t think about the end game. I’ve got lots to occupy my mind. It’s the rage that keeps me going.

It is my position to get on the ball as much as I can and I just try to find the game as much as I can as well.

One of the nice things about the Senior Tour is that we can take a cart and cooler. If your game is not going well, you can always have a picnic.

Definitely just growing up in general influenced me; Detroit happened to be where I was. I feel like the city definitely has made an impact on my life and made me who I am. Detroit has an unmistakable soul – nobody can duplicate the soul we bring to the game. From Motown to J Dilla to Eminem to anything.

It was a horrible, terrible, atrocious, offensive football game.

Barry Switzer
My mom to this day is the hardest coach I’ve ever had. There were times when my stepdad would look at me and say ‘you had a good game’ and my mom would be like ‘I don’t know what you’re talking about, you had 2 or 3 turnovers.

I just serve big and play big. That’s my game style.

Playing nuts is a game like any other, neither better than tops, nor worse than cards. The game is played in various ways. There are ‘holes‘ and ‘bank‘ and ‘caps.’ But every game finishes up in the same way. One boy loses, another wins. And, as always, he who wins is a clever fellow, a smart fellow, a good fellow.

My grandson Sam Saunders has been playing golf since he could hold a club and I spent a lot of time with him over the years. Like my father taught me, I showed him the fundamentals of the game and helped him make adjustments as he and his game matured over the years.

It’s not so important who starts the game but who finishes it.

A delayed game is eventually good, but a rushed game is forever bad.

Before the Beatles, America was musically a very conservative country. You can see film footage of people at a baseball game, they all had hats and ties on, and the women were dressed up like they were going to church. That was the America that I started getting interested in musically.

In baseball, you have to remain calm, cool, and collected. In football, you can let out a little anger sometimes. It was a fun game, and I liked it, but I knew in my heart I was going to play baseball.

When neither party can give checkmate, the game is drawn.

I’ve tried to lose weight two or three times, and every time, my golf game was horrible.

It’s not superstition, but I do everything exactly the same on game days. I’m a creature of habit. I eat the same breakfast, and then I drive the same way to practice. Then I come back and eat the same exact same lunch before every game.

Kris Humphries
We are driven by the usual insatiable curiosity of the scientist, and our work is a delightful game.

There were riots in just about every game we played with Syracuse.

Bob Cousy
I threw up before every single football game I played, and I did so up through my NFL career. It was good pressure. It was pressure to be good. It was pressure to be the best. It was pressure to want to win.

If you look at the movie ‘Belly,’ I identify with Sincere the most. I am a gangster. I love my lady to death. I’m not in the game for the wrong reasons. I’m not in the game for the glory. I’m in the game to survive so the people that I love could be straight. I’m a highly intelligent individual.

Fortnite‘ really is just the perfect storm of a game. You have the fact that it’s free to play on almost every platform, and everything about the game is enjoyable.

I am primarily a lawyer. I would rather play in the game than be the umpire.

Lewis F Powell Jr
You can never be satisfied until you are done playing this game. So I’m just working.

Security is always going to be a cat and mouse game because there’ll be people out there that are hunting for the zero day award, you have people that don’t have configuration management, don’t have vulnerability management, don’t have patch management.

I like video games, but they are very violent. I want to create a video game in which you have to help all the characters who have died in the other games. ‘Hey, man, what are you playing?’ ‘Super Busy Hospital. Could you leave me alone? I’m performing surgery! This guy got shot in the head, like, 27 times!’

I’m blessed; I’m fortunate to be able to play the game that I love every single day.

When you’re competitive, the last thing you want to do is come out of a game, regardless of what kind of injury it is – whether it’s an ankle, a knee, a rib, or a head injury.

For every successful actor or actress, there are countless numbers who don’t make it. The name of the game is rejection. You go to an audition and you’re told you’re too tall or you’re too Irish or your nose is not quite right. You’re rejected for your education, you’re rejected for this or that and it’s really tough.

When you get to play with the big boys, your game improves drastically.

I’ll tell you what’s helped me my entire life. I look at baseball as a game. It’s something where people can go out, enjoy and have fun. Nothing more.

Harry Caray
Before you can win a game, you have to not lose it.

Chuck Noll
The greatest competitor was Bob Gibson. He worked so fast out there and he always had the hood up. He always wanted to close his own deal. He never talked to you because he was battling so hard. I sure as hell don’t miss batting against him, but I miss him in the game.

I can talk with my team-mates, understand them and it’s better for understanding the coaching staff and the game itself. If someone’s making a run and they shout for the ball, I know now.

Golf is a game in which you yell ‘fore,’ shoot six, and write down five.

Paul Harvey
You need to feel that the game is important to you. Lose that feeling and you lose your edge. There’s no faking that kind of emotion. You can’t invent the feeling. It’s got to be natural, real.

Sometimes, the hardest things are just the simple things. Basically, get out of your own head and just go play the game you know how to play.

I think what makesJeopardy!’ special is that, among all the quiz and game shows out there, ours tends to encourage learning.

Never change a winning game; always change a losing one.

Bill Tilden
Poor people are too stupid to know they’re just chess pieces in a game.

I’ve always loved to play games, and face it: investing is one big game. You need to be decisive, open-minded, flexible and competitive.

Some people think that if their opponent plays a beautiful game, it’s okay to lose. I don’t. You have to be merciless.

The mistake British comedians often make is trying to beat the Americans at their own game – getting visiting American singers on their shows, talking about ‘sidewalk‘ instead of ‘pavement,’ sitting on high stools in a white dinner jacket doing ballads. That way, you simply end up with a mid-Atlantic mishmash.

Benny Hill
I know that I’m never as good or bad as any single performance. I’ve never believed my critics or my worshippers, and I’ve always been able to leave the game at the arena.

I have a hunger to grow and to learn, so coaching is a natural extension of a lifelong love of the game of volleyball.

As far as playing, I didn’t care who guarded me – red, yellow, black. I just didn’t want a white guy guarding me, because it’s disrespect to my game.

Pep is the best manager in the world. He’s always looking to help me get better and improve my game.

We must take every game as serious as we can, no complacency, that’s the main thing.

We were at a Giants game, and my manager told me, ‘Sadie, you have an audition for a show called ‘Stranger Things,” and I had just finished binge-watching it in a few days.

I hadn’t watched ‘Lord of the Rings’ – I’m gonna get so much flack for this, but I hadn’t watched ‘Lord of the Rings’ when I started watching ‘Game of Thrones.’

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.

Whoever wants to know the heart and mind of America had better learn baseball, the rules and realities of the game – and do it by watching first some high school or small-town teams.

You have to know what club you are playing for, or you just play for yourself. Every time I put on a Liverpool shirt, I know it is more than just a football game.

If you are going to talk negative about a place, you’re almost throwing yourself out to begin with because golf is a mental game.

I wanna stay an eternal girlfriend. I want to have my boyfriend‘s children, but I don’t think we need a piece of paper to regulate the game, and we don’t have to go through the whole stress of a wedding and suffering to throw a good party.

I studied video game design. The one thing I knew for sure about myself is I didn’t want to study acting.

I can’t imagine a person becoming a success who doesn’t give this game of life everything he’s got.

Time flies. It seems like just yesterday I was playing my first game against Ireland, when I came off the bench, full of energy and flying into tackles, even though I couldn’t tackle back then.

If you have control of the midfield, you have control of the game, and you have more chances to win.

A season is not made in a week or two any more than a stellar game epitomizes greatness.

I will see this game of life out to its bitter end.

Zane Grey
To a certain extent, I enjoy failure. It’s part of the game. There’s always room to grow; there’s room to improve.

Just make games for yourself and try to have a critical eye to what you do. If you genuinely like the game, there will be other people who like it as well.

Life is a game and true love is a trophy.

If you’re not in the game, you can’t hit a home run.

We see that as ‘Fortnite’ evolves, it’s evolving beyond being a game.

When you start the game with an ace, it’s always better.

Make no mistake, blockchain will be a game changer, but it is not the answer to every business opportunity or problem.

Approach the game with no preset agendas and you’ll probably come away surprised at your overall efforts.

Football is a game you cannot play without making mistakes.

Politics is not a game for naive thinkers. You may go in as an idealist, but you certainly won’t come out as one.

In the game of life, before you get anything out, you must put something in!

Because I knew how hard I worked, I knew the pain, I knew the sacrifice, I knew the tears, I knew everything. Despite everything, I stuck to it. I toughed it out, and I kept my head in the game, even when the odds were against me.

I don’t have an endgame. My game is to take on any bad guys I see out there. And do the best I can until they put me under the carpet.

I stood up as best I could to their disgusting stupidity and brutality, but I did not, of course, manage to beat them at their own game. It was a fight to the bitter end, one in which I was not defending ideals or beliefs but simply my own self.

George Grosz
When you have a lot of confidence and you feel like nobody can beat you, it’s game over for everyone else.

There are too many fakes in the game, and I try to keep my family away from that.

MC Ren
My game is characterised by consistency.

I think the thing you always got to keep in mind, you know, hockey is a game of one-on-one battles.

If revenge motivates you, go for it! But the main thing is to set your game in order.

When it comes to the game of life, I figure I’ve played the whole course.

The rap game without me would be like woofers without bass.

What I try to do is, I just want the fans to enjoy the game.

When I began playing the game, baseball was about as gentlemanly as a kick in the crotch.

Ty Cobb
So, it becomes an exercise in futility if you write something that does not express the film as the director wishes. It’s still their ball game. It’s their show. I think any successful composer learns how to dance around the director’s impulses.

I watched Tim Tebow and how he played and how he carried himself and the good that he did for the game on and off the field. I knew that’s what I wanted to do.

On derby day it’s not down to form, it’s on the day, who’s prepared for the game and who wants to battle.

The more you back yourself, the more consistent you become in finishing the game.

Do your best, one shot at a time and then move on. Remember that golf is just a game.

Nancy Lopez
You play to win the game.

I like ice hockey, but it’s a frustrating game to watch. It’s hard to keep your eyes on both the puck and the players and too much time passes between scoring in hockey. There are usually more fights than there are points.

A lot of young players don’t really know much about the history of the game and a lot of them are missing out on what the game is all about, especially the whole concept of sportsmanship and teamwork.

Ever since I was a little kid, that intrigued me. The game within the game was the biggest thing. A lot of people don’t see the little things we do within a game.

To me, cricket is a simple game. Keep it simple and just go out and play.

Conservation of any endangered species must begin with stringent efforts to protect its natural habitat by the enforcement of rigid legislation against human encroachment into parks and other game sanctuaries.

People give more importance to material things, it all seems to be a power game, while people ought be making the most of every moment as time is fleeting.

When you play this game long enough, everything is not going to be smooth sailing.

When you’re growing up, you play dress-up – it’s a game, it’s a pastime. And then as you get older, getting ready and looking nice becomes this constant stress. I want to make it fun again.

Success depends almost entirely on how effectively you learn to manage the game’s two ultimate adversaries: the course and yourself.

I think permitting the game to become too physical takes away a little bit of the beauty.

I’m what you would term a lifer. Basketball is what I love. It doesn’t matter where I’m doing it or in what position I’m doing it. I just love contributing to the game.

I’ve got to give Larry Bird his due; he was a great player. He knew the game and he was smart.

A hustler has to deal with danger and risk. It’s part of the game. You cannot control it all, nor would you want to. Chaos, unknown factors are not something to be anxious about.

Love is a game that two can play and both win.

Eva Gabor
We’re gracious and we’re humble, and we play the game a certain way, whether we win or lose.

You bring your strength to the game – that’s what I’ve learnt, and that’s what I try to bring to England.

The minute you start compromising for the sake of massaging somebody’s ego, that’s it, game over.

There is no bad time to laugh. I always joke, even five minutes before a game. It’s not bad to stay a little immature.

There is no room for second place. There is only one place in my game and that is first place. I have finished second twice in my time at Green Bay and I never want to finish second again.

Football is a game of errors. The team that makes the fewest errors in a game usually wins.

Paul Brown
I feel as if I were a piece in a game of chess, when my opponent says of it: That piece cannot be moved.

Scottie’s game changed with where he was at physically. He wasn’t the same player at 21 as he was at 30. Both he and Michael aged gracefully in this league and that’s the beauty of being a professional player. You continue to grow and continue to change your game, but you do it to be just as effective.

War is the statesman‘s game, the priest‘s delight, the lawyer’s jest, the hired assassin‘s trade.

We tied the milk crates on each end of the fence, and we had our own milk crate basketball pickup game, and it was a good time ’cause we could jump off the fence and dunk the basketball. You had to be creative in order to play, and I wanted to play.

At many a moment on many a day, I am convinced that pro football must be a game for madmen, and I must be one of them.

Anytime you get rewarded for all the work you put into this game, you’re going to be happy about it.

Chess is a lot of fun for me. Football is a physical game, and in chess you can just beat someone mentally – you outwit somebody, outmaneuver them, think ahead of them.

If the president of the college had asked me what I thought about Dewey McLean, I’d say he’s a weak sister. I thought he’d been knocked out of the ball game and had just disappeared, because nobody invites him to conferences anymore.

Luis Walter Alvarez
Just because I have to deal with the stress and pressure and nerves of elite sport every day, it doesn’t mean it all comes easily. I have worked hard at the mental side of my game.

Because football is an emotional game, it’s full of feeling, and that’s why we try to train with a smile on our face. At the same time, we work very hard, but it’s a fine line, and you’ve got to try and get that balance right if you can.

The way I figured it, I was even with baseball and baseball with me. The game had done much for me, and I had done much for it.

There is no room in baseball for discrimination. It is our national pastime and a game for all.

Lou Gehrig
What we do is nothing like the portrayal of badminton as a gentle game played in a church hall. Badminton can be fun and relaxing, but as professionals, this sport is our heart and soul and passion, and our games are fast and aggressive.

Rajiv Ouseph
The whole idea of how people will learn computer science, I believe will be through game development.

To put on the pinstripe – it’s extraordinary. Just being able to play one game with the Yankees is quite an honor.

I like to watch the great players, the ones who are technically good and understand the game. I try to see how they move.

Frenkie de Jong
A game’s concept is one of its most important assets. I feel that we must aim to satisfy both beginners and experts, and that hasn’t changed since I was making ‘Kirby’ games.

Masahiro Sakurai
If you just play your game, the stats will come.

You can’t be selfish in this game. You’ve got to know, at the end of the day, that it’s all about winning. And when you win, everybody looks good.

It was a privilege and an honor to work alongside Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper. Working with people at the top of their game was like a master class.

We need money. We need hits. Hits bring money, money bring power, power bring fame, fame change the game.

You can’t be the best every game. Even Messi can have a bad game.

I try to avoid all mistakes. I try to prepare my players and to put them in the best condition to play the game. If you discover a problem during the game, it is too late. You must anticipate and prepare.

Art is an invention of aesthetics, which in turn is an invention of philosophers… What we call art is a game.

As far as anybody in the rap game ever tryin’ to assassinate my character, that’s impossible. You talkin’ about a man who has always walked the walk and talked the talk.

Suge Knight
Each outing is its own game. You roll on your game plan. It is a different chess match each time you go out there. I just try to be prepared.

Jason Hammel
Football is an incredible game. Sometimes it’s so incredible, it’s unbelievable.

If I want to average 32 points a game, I can do that easily. It’s just eight, eight, eight, eight. No problem. I can do that anytime. That’s not being cocky. That’s confidence.

Patrick Ewing
You can’t allow yourself to get typecast as a recruiter, because that label sticks and carries. I fought it. I made myself learn the game and teach the game.

Again, like I said, I went out to play the game of baseball because I love to play it. I did it right. I did it the right way. I worked hard doing it.

I would love to be a coach, mentor, or a batting consultant. I would love to commentate in Hindi, as most people who watch the game are more comfortable with Hindi in India rather than English.

Baseball was, is and always will be to me the best game in the world.

Babe Ruth
A Black man should be more independent and depend on himself for his freedom and not to take it for granted that someone would lead him to it. The blacks are tired of standing at the touchlines to witness a game that they should be playing. They want to do things for themselves and all by themselves.

In an individual sport, yes, you have to win titles. Baseball’s different. But basketball, hockey? One person can control the tempo of a game, can completely alter the momentum of a series. There’s a lot of great individual talent.

Real Madrid are favourites in every championship and in every game, but we will stay humble in order to earn a victory.

I don’t consider myself to be bigger than nobody else in this game, so I’m not here to tell people what to rap about.

Pimp C
Game management is very important. Realizing the situation of a match.

I think we should not accept and tolerate racism anywhere, in any game, whether it’s a friendly game or a World Cup final, or it’s a Champions League final.

At the end of 2003, my game was complete. Shooting, defense, using the dribble, transition, midrange stuff was all there. Then it was about fine-tuning and trying to improve in each area.

Architecture is the learned game, correct and magnificent, of forms assembled in the light.

Le Corbusier
With a lot of bigger corners, you can get an advantage on them by exploiting their agility. For example, you can run a lot of double moves where you get way down in your breaks. You can try to make the game more about the stop-and-start.

I think tennis and golf have had a large boost in participation with a lot of people wanting to take up the game since the start of the pandemic.

Casper Ruud
You go through slumps in this game, and you just have to work through them. You’re going to miss putts out on an LPGA tour and have bad rounds. You just have to think to yourself that you always have tomorrow, and you’re lucky enough to be out here just playing golf for a living.

Lexi Thompson
I’m not going to change and get the emotions out of my game. It’s important to have emotions in sport. If you don’t have emotions, it’s like you don’t really care. Because if you care about something, you’re always going to be emotional. Doesn’t matter if it’s sports or personal life.

The game has a cleanness. If you do a good job, the numbers say so. You don’t have to ask anyone or play politics. You don’t have to wait for the reviews.

Sandy Koufax
You play the hand you’re dealt. I think the game’s worthwhile.

Somebody can say they don’t understand why somebody drifts. But I’ve always found people who drift interesting, ’cause it shows me the game’s not stagnant in their own head. They’re thinking.

You never want to hit your cruising altitude; you always want to be ascending with your game. You can always get better.

I’m just playing my game and trying to help my team win. Whatever happens, happens.

The person that turns over the most rocks wins the game. And that’s always been my philosophy.

Peter Lynch
In the middle order the game is a little more laid out for you, whether you are batting first or chasing down a score, so you are a bit more reactive to the situation in front of you. Opening up, it is pretty much a blank canvas and dependent on how you play.

My inbox and doormat are full with emails and letters from people who want me to endorse their Higgs board game or to inaugurate the walkway of their new office atrium. There’s even a microbrewery in Barcelona which wants to know what my favourite beer is so they can brew a similar one in my honour. It is quite mad.

I don’t think the entire world respects women in sport. But if FIFA start respecting the women’s game more, others will follow.

I like to be involved as much as I can in the game, and in the middle, you’re definitely the heartbeat of the team. When you’re on the right, you can go minutes without seeing the ball, and that’s a long time when you’re out on the pitch.

My explosiveness, I really couldn’t show it at UCLA. It’s still there. It’s always been there. It was not a lot of running. It was a half-court game. Coach Howland came from the Big East, and so you know that’s a grind out game.

Shabazz Muhammad
Just small things are going to hopefully lead to a bigger surplus in the end. Obviously, you might not see it every single game, every single detail, but those small things and those small details add up so much, and that’s what creates winning.

I think the journey of making a game… we want to enjoy that process.

Opening day. All you have to do is say the words and you feel the shutters thrown wide, the room air out, the light pour in. In baseball, no other day is so pure with possibility. No scores yet, no losses, no blame or disappointment. No hangover, at least until the game’s over.

I’m trying to find new ways to make this game more attractive.

Everybody’s got a puncher’s chance in this game. I mean every single person on Earth. But my whole focus, my whole style, my whole dynamic is built around taking that power away from you. So where is the logic in why you’re different from anybody else? There is no logic in it.

I’ve been in the game a long time. I’ve done all sorts of different types of music. From mob music to the G-Funk era.

I think a top-class midfielder needs to be able to tackle, get up and down the pitch, pass, create opportunities, and score goals. That’s why I try to do everything; that’s what I judge my game on.

Defense is a definite part of the game, and a great part of defense is learning to play it without fouling.

You have to defeat a great players aura more than his game.

Pat Riley
When I get on TV, I’m going to be talking about a silly basketball game, and I’m going to be having a lot of fun doing it. But I’m very aware of all the social stuff going on.

It is never easy to win but it is a lot easier to win when you play well. The key is winning golf tournaments when you are not playing so well. Managing your game is something that I feel that I am still learning to do.

You have to learn the rules of the game. And then you have to play better than anyone else.

I don’t like Los Angeles. The people are awful and terribly shallow, and everybody wants to be famous but nobody wants to play the game. I’m from New York. I will kill to get what I need.

Chess is a lot of fun for me. Football is a physical game, and in chess you can just beat someone mentally – you outwit somebody, outmaneuver them, think ahead of them.

I’m tired of hearing about money, money, money, money, money. I just want to play the game, drink Pepsi, wear Reebok.

Truth is the cry of all, but the game of few.

George Berkeley
A contract is an ask game, and if it asks for an hour, and I submit to an hour, then it’s an hour. When I look at a contract, I look at the obligation – where, when, how long, the compensation. If I agree to it, that’s the way it is. I have an obligation. They have an obligation.

I love going one-on-one with someone. That’s what I do. I’ve never lost. It’s a whole different game, just to have them right in front of you and be able to do whatever you want.

Today, no leader can afford to be indifferent to the challenge of engaging employees in the work of creating the future. Engagement may have been optional in the past, but it’s pretty much the whole game today.

Overcoming challenges by learning something in a game is a very rewarding feeling, and that’s what I wanted to prioritise in ‘Dark Souls‘ and ‘Demon‘s Souls.’

When you’re facing a different guy every at-bat, he’s coming at you with his best stuff. There’s no warm-up; there’s no ‘see a pitch.’ You’ve got to be locked in from the very first pitch… The biggest thing is do your homework before the game starts.

Camouflage is a game we all like to play, but our secrets are as surely revealed by what we want to seem to be as by what we want to conceal.

Russell Lynes
You’ve got to try to find ways to dominate in any way – it ain’t about getting sacks, it’s about making the big plays. If that’s pressing the quarterback, making them throw a pick – whatever you’ve got to do to try to dominate the game.

I know that there’s a god because I was able to survive everything that I’ve been through – all of the tough times – and I’m still at the top of my game.

The mental game is what separates the good players from the great players. So anything I can do to get that mental edge to help me stay my best, I’m gonna try and do it.

I want to be great, I want to be mentioned with the best to ever play the game.

Daring ideas are like chessmen moved forward; they may be beaten, but they may start a winning game.

I’m just living in the moment, trying to win every game. That’s all I’m focused on.

Me and my sister made up a game called ‘Milky Cow’. We were on holiday in France when I was 12, and there was a kid who had bovine features, and every time we went past her, we’d say, ‘There’s Milky Cow’.

For some people, success is a zero sum game. They think that if they push other people out of the way, fewer people can compete with them. That’s one way of seeing the world. It’s dog eat dog. It’s, sadly, always going to be there.

When I lose the sense of motivation and the sense to prove something as a basketball player, it’s time for me to move away from the game.

I bet on my team to win every night because I love my team; I believe in my team. I did everything in my power every night to win that game.

Of course you think about the goalkeeper you are facing before a game. You have to prepare yourself for the game and think about the weakness of the players you are up against.

Of course, when it comes to Japanese role-playing games, in any role-playing game in Japan you’re supposed to collect a huge number of items, and magic, and you’ve got to actually combine different items together to make something really different.

I don’t feel like I have anything to prove. I’ve played this game at a high level for a long time.

I love the game. I want to see creativity. I want to see great goals. I want ‘Wow!’

Baseball, it is said, is only a game. True. And the Grand Canyon is only a hole in Arizona. Not all holes, or games, are created equal.

The worst time to have a heart attack is during a game of charades.

We come across thirty or so hurried graves with makeshift wooden markers. ‘Private Edwards, E.’, a number, and that was all. Fourteen days ago he was alive, thinking feeling, hoping… If war was a game of cards, I’d say someone was cheating.

The trouble with referees is that they know the rules, but they do not know the game.

Bill Shankly
Penalties are part of the game.

I take a laid-back approach to a lot of things in life and, at the end of the day, rugby‘s just a game.

I can observe the game theory is applied very much in economics. Generally, it would be wise to get into the mathematics as much as seems reasonable because the economists who use more mathematics are somehow more respected than those who use less. That’s the trend.

A 30-year-old rock climber is an old man. At 40, one is in the middle of his high-altitude power. At 50, a crosser of deserts is at his best age. But at 60, each of us is out of the game.

More than anything, you have to respect the game and do things the right way.

The trouble is not that players have sex the night before a game. It’s that they stay out all night looking for it.

Too many people get lost in the game of having a good time and being naive about things.

Steve Brown
Rugby is a game that’s constant. If you are not growing with it, you get left behind.

You don’t play against opponents, you play against the game of basketball.

I’ve often said, ‘If I had one drive to win a game to this day, and I had a quarterback to pick, I would pick Kenny.’ Snake was a lot cooler than I was. He was a perfect quarterback and a perfect Raider. When you think about the Raiders, you think about Ken Stabler.

But it is a black man’s game, and it will be forever.

As a defender it can also be more frustrating to play in Italy because referees do not tolerate too much physical contact. I loved the physical nature of the game in England, but in Serie A I only have to look at a player and they sometimes fall to the floor!

My motivation and aspiration is the same, being number one or being number five. So that’s the truth. And my goal is the same – it’s to always be happy playing, it’s to enjoy the game and improve always.

We must keep looking for ways to improve the game.

We don’t want people to leave the stadium until the game finishes.

In football, the only game I know is the 90-minutes game. It’s not mind games; I don’t try to do that.

Water is on the table for every single one us. When it’s gone, game over. I don’t care what company you run; I don’t care if you’re Republican or liberal.

I believe in myself and maybe people take that as cocky and flash but in this game you have to believe in yourself or you won’t get anywhere.

I feel like Drake saw that I was up-and-coming in the gaming scene, and he thought it would be a perfect way to just tap into another source of viewers by playing with me. He also might have just wanted to game. I’m not sure.

Obviously social media has had a massive impact on the fame game, but not in a positive way. But it can be for some.

Golf is game of respect and sportsmanship; we have to respect its traditions and its rules.

There’s something about me that wants to grow a big company. I don’t deny that. I enjoy the game, and the only way to really enjoy it is to win. I like to win. It’s more fun.

Bernard L Schwartz
Just be patient. Let the game come to you. Don’t rush. Be quick, but don’t hurry.

Earl Monroe
Confidence is a lot of this game or any game. If you don’t think you can, you won’t.

From one week to the next, everything changes from who you’re playing to the defense’s scheme. You just try to build on the things that you did well and correct the things that you did poorly in the game; then, move forward from there and hopefully continue to get better and better and better as you move forward.

The game of basketball has been everything to me. My place of refuge, place I’ve always gone where I needed comfort and peace. It’s been the site of intense pain and the most intense feelings of joy and satisfaction. It’s a relationship that has evolved over time, given me the greatest respect and love for the game.

To play the game at this level, I’ve got to continue to get better. I’ve got to stay consistent, still work on my ballhandling and I’ve got to become a great defender.

Honestly, I don’t listen to nobody else’s music but my own. It’s kind of like sports to me. You don’t see Kobe Bryant at a LeBron James game – he just works on his own game. And that’s what I do. I only listen to me, so I can criticize and analyze and all those things.

The best workers, like the happiest livers, look upon their work as a kind of game: the harder they play the more enjoyable it becomes.

Being in politics is like being a football coach. You have to be smart enough to understand the game, and dumb enough to think it’s important.

Eugene McCarthy
Community organizing is all about building grassroots support. It’s about identifying the people around you with whom you can create a common, passionate cause. And it’s about ignoring the conventional wisdom of company politics and instead playing the game by very different rules.

I have always given my best, in every game and every training session.

Someone like Bruno Sammartino should never be a jobber on a video game, so and so forth. I think you have to pay respect.

Being part of such a great club like Manchester United fills you with emotion, and you gradually realise how much the club means to the fans and the people who work here. They really live for the game, so that does become part of you, and you can only appreciate that having spent time here.

You mustn’t smile when you lose. You have to be sad like other people. You have to win every game.

The formula to beat the press is simple; it’s the execution that’s tough. If you have the quality to do so, you pass your way through it. And if you don’t, you just boot it over the top. And then it becomes a game of winning ‘second balls‘.

I may have had a lot of luck in my life, but I still need to find a challenge in the game.

Football is a game of mistakes. Whoever makes the fewest mistakes wins.

Unfortunately, injuries are part of the game and you have to adapt, keep faith, trust and never give up.

Mistakes are part of the game. It’s how well you recover from them, that’s the mark of a great player.

Obsession is a young man’s game, and my only excuse is that I never grew old.

Confidence is the most important single factor in this game, and no matter how great your natural talent, there is only one way to obtain and sustain it: work.

I like to be funny. I can’t stay all the time focused, disciplined, controlled. Behaviour like that is impossible. If the players are too nervous before a game, I have to relax them, calm them.

I never rush myself. See, they can’t start the game without me.

Satchel Paige
There’s nothing, today, that excites me, or that makes me think I would like to be back in AFL circles. I have no interest. No interest whatsoever. My love for the game died inside of me in those final years of me playing.

Been in this game one-hundred years, but I see new ways to lose ’em I never knew existed before.

Brazil versus Argentina is always a great game, with great football and scoring chances.

Vision gets the dreams started. Dreaming employs your God-given imagination to reinforce the vision. Both are part of something I believe is absolutely necessary to building the life of a champion, a winner, a person of high character who is consistently at the top of whatever game he or she is in.

Sports without music is just a game. Music makes it entertaining.

I think sportsmanship is knowing that it is a game, that we are only as a good as our opponents, and whether you win or lose, to always give 100 percent.

Every game is different.

Ben Roethlisberger is a proven winner in athletic competition. But the measure of a true leader is how they conduct themselves 24/7, not just during a winning touchdown drive or a goal-line stance. Leadership isn’t something that gets switched off because the game clock expires.

In an upside down world, with all the rules being rewritten as the game goes on and spectators invading the pitch, it is good to feel that some things and some people seem to stay just as they were.

Kenneth More
I guess there is nothing that will get your mind off everything like golf. I have never been depressed enough to take up the game, but they say you get so sore at yourself you forget to hate your enemies.

You and I are players, God’s our coach, and we’re playing the biggest game of all. We have a loving God that made us. We need to get on His team. It says in His word, there’s only one way to Him and that’s through Jesus Christ.

Play the game for more than you can afford to lose… only then will you learn the game.

Nixon was a crook, of course, but he was also a rabid football fan – and he knew the game, which still astounds me, but I have always had a soft spot for him because of it.

As a child, you respond physically, tactically. You’re delighted by sound, you’re delighted by recognizing something. It’s like hide and seek. Is it there? Is it not there? Is it this note? Is it not this note? It’s one fantastic game.

We need everybody to contribute as one and do what we’ve got to do to win. Football is not an individual game. In basketball, LeBron James can take over a game by himself.

My life used to be like that game of freeze tag we played as kids. Once tagged, you had to freeze in the position you were in. Whenever something happened, I’d freeze like a statue, too afraid of moving the wrong way, of making the wrong decision. The problem is, if you stand still too long, that’s your decision.

We are at the point where game designers have become celebrities due to the size of the market they serve.

John Romero
My guiding principle is that prosperity can be shared. We can create wealth together. The global economy is not a zero-sum game.

I don’t know what position Scottie was; he was just a basketball player. He could dribble, shoot, pass and rebound. Defensively, he was excellent. He had quick hands and quick feet with a great understanding of the game. He could do it all.

I get the normal stats, like tackles and pass completion and high-intensity runs. I get them after every game to see how similar they are to every game and to make sure I’m hitting the targets – or not too far away from them.

I’ve never seen ‘Game of Thrones.’ I’ve never seen ‘Breaking Bad.’ I can’t tell you one character outside of Walter White.

You have to develop your whole game to completion.

I’m addicted to my iPhone and get a game for it every few days.

To cross the line for the team, to have an impact on winning the game – that’s why I play this game.

You hope to bring your ‘A Game’ to any game, and of course you do in a final. You hope to bring experience, fitness, communication skills, motivational skills.

I believe that a bad Super Bowl halftime show is still better than a soccer game.

Life is a game. Money is how we keep score.

Every game at the World Cup is like a final.

Being part of ‘Game of Thrones,’ you’re always expecting your character to die. You’re not mentally preparing yourself for a very long haul.

I used to be focused on being the dopest rapper in the game, and then once that became what I was, I wanted something different, and I wanted to become the best businessman in the game. I wanted to learn how to master the business like I mastered the rap.

I’m overly confident. I believe in myself 100 percent. I believe in my game, and I believe in my work ethic.

I like big challenges. They bring my game to a different level.

I think the great part about what I do is that there’s a scoreboard. At the end of every week, you know how you did. You know how well you prepared. You know whether you executed your game plan. There’s a tangible score.

Mammograms are really sort of a gift. You can either catch something early or count your lucky stars because nothing was discovered. Either way, you’re ahead of the game.

Charlotte Ross
Football is a game played with arms, legs and shoulders but mostly from the neck up.

Knute Rockne
I think it’s wrong that only one company makes the game Monopoly.

One of my mentors schooled me on branding before it was a cliche term in the game.

‘The Last Kingdom”s got its roots in history, and it’s a lot grittier. It doesn’t have the ‘Game of Thrones’ gloss.

I won an MVP trophy with the St. Louis Amateur Baseball Association. I didn’t even start. I was a sub on this team. This was, like, an All-Star game where we had athletes from different teams, different mixtures. We had, like, the only black team in the league, basically. We had four players go to the All-Star game.

I struggle with reading a bit. I’m slightly dyslexic, so reading takes me quite a while, and in general, I’m not a big book reader at all. And something like ‘Game of Thrones’ seems very daunting to me!

I have felt in my head that I would like to play, but then you listen to your body and accept it might be better that you do not play every game immediately after an injury.

I used to be guilty of trying to get a wicket every ball, but I’ve learned the game is not that easy. That’s come with experience.

The game of history is usually played by the best and the worst over the heads of the majority in the middle.

If you’re not an ambitious footballer, you’re in the wrong game, really.

Football is a simple game. Twenty-two men chase a ball for 90 minutes and at the end, the Germans always win.

Go for great. Own your game. Be kind. Get big things done.

When the game is on the line, I want to be the go-to guy. I feel like that separates the good from the great receivers.

After ‘Game of Thrones,’ having a character like that, that’s like the pinnacle of your career.

I just tried to play the game the right way. As you get older, Father Time is undefeated.

‘Fallout 76’ is a very different ‘Fallout’ game. We’re very aware of that. We think a lot of people will like it, because we like it. But a lot of people probably won’t. We need to balance that. This is an idea we have, and there’s a lot of old ‘Fallout’ stuff in it, but it’s a very new experience.

Football is a game you play with your mind.

When I’m done playing, when I seem like I’m retiring, I don’t love the game anymore.

It’s one thing to make the big leagues, but it’s another thing to make it to an all-star game.

I’m in favour of innovation, just as long as the game does not suffer for it.

The night before my mastectomy, I had done my best to keep my mind off of the impending procedure. My family and I went to the Tampa Bay Lightning hockey game, where I binged on pizza and ice cream and took full advantage of the doctor‘s advice to eat up the night before since I had to begin fasting at midnight.

You’ve got to take the initiative and play your game. In a decisive set, confidence is the difference.

What I like about The Sims is that I don’t have a normal life at all, so I play this game where these people have these really boring, mundane lives. It’s fun.

I think science fiction helps us think about possibilities, to speculate – it helps us look at our society from a different perspective. It lets us look at our mores, using science as the backdrop, as the game changer.

You know, when I have a bad game, it continues to humble me and know that, you know, you still have work to do and you still have a lot of people to impress.

In the game of love, the losers are more celebrated than the winners.

Football is about joy. It’s about dribbling. I favour every idea that makes the game beautiful. Every good idea has to last.

I just play the game the only way I know. And I have no regrets.

You have so many games to play, and you can do well in one game but bad in the other ones. The thing you’ve got to be is consistent.

I have a tip that can take 5 strokes off anyone’s golf game. It’s called an eraser.

The score never interested me, only the game.

It’s a whole different world once you get into games. You have people actually trying to hit you, the speed of the game’s a lot faster, you have a lot of different things you need to check and see. It’s a whole different world up there once game time comes.

I’m just a very impatient person. It’s always something that I’m working on, and just staying interested in the fight game is the biggest challenge for me. As long as I’m interested and I have an incentive to stay interested, then I’m unbeatable.

I’m not really into the political game as far as paying politicians and stuff like that, I’m not into that. You do your job, and I’ll do mine.

Gaming in general is a male thing. It isn’t that gaming is designed to exclude women. Everybody who’s tried to design a game to interest a large female audience has failed. And I think that has to do with the different thinking processes of men and women.

Gary Gygax
I think football reflects our society. Our society changes. The evolution of society dictates the evolution of the game.

Everybody who know Rick Ross know that, for one, I love creating music, and one of the biggest impacts we have on the game was the fact that when we came into the game, artists was waiting two to three years to put out albums. I was one of the few that put out an album every year along with two or three mixtapes.

The idea behind reinforcement learning is you don’t necessarily know the actions you might take, so you explore the sequence of actions you should take by taking one that you think is a good idea and then observing how the world reacts. Like in a board game where you can react to how your opponent plays.

But in the end it’s still a game of golf, and if at the end of the day you can’t shake hands with your opponents and still be friends, then you’ve missed the point.

The football field was a place where I could express myself and just be me. Play the game as well as you can and that’s what you’re judged on. Not the colour of your skin, or your beliefs, or the conversation you have around racism.

Technique! The very word is like a shriek of outraged Art. It is the idiot name given to effort by those who are too weak, too weary, or too dull to play the game. The mighty have no theory of technique.

Leonard Bacon
I’ve always been known as a pure scorer, and I’ve always said if I just sat outside and shot 3s and just really focused on that – coming off of screens and spot-up 3s – and shot six or seven 3s a game, I would probably be more known as one of the greatest shooters in NBA history.

How you played in yesterday’s game is all that counts.

It is a disgrace. I think darts should be at the Olympics. Obviously you’d have to cut out the drinking side of the game. But apart from that there’s no reason why it shouldn’t be there.

I’ve learnt that it is important not to go over the top with aggression, because then either you are going to miss a lot of games, or you are not going to be concentrating on the game you are playing.

I’ve seen up close what can happen when actors talk publicly about their relationships: their personal life gets dismantled. It’s a show business game, and it’s one game I won’t play.

With so much of music blurring the lines between ersatz and authenticity, at least the ‘Rock Band‘ game is a tribute to rock rather than an affront.

Being at the top of your game intellectually, philosophically, politically, is not a forever thing.

I think I’m unique to the game ’cause of my versatility.

Some people try to find things in this game that don’t exist but football is only two things – blocking and tackling.

The first requirement of politics is not intellect or stamina but patience. Politics is a very long run game and the tortoise will usually beat the hare.

Oh, my God, I don’t think any player can look forward to or expect to a career of so many Grand Slam wins or title wins or being so long at the top of the game.

Even when I’m old and grey, I won’t be able to play it, but I’ll still love the game.

I don’t know how the rap game is, because I’m a fan of reality, and the rap game’s entertainment.

Over the years, golf has evolved from a leisurely game of stick and ball into a competitive sport for highly skilled athletes. Players not only spend countless hours fine-tuning technique on the course, but also improving strength, stability, and endurance in the gym.

I played fly-half in rugby, so I could influence the game, and midfield in hockey too. So it is part of my sporting DNA to want to be in the game at all times, to affect what is going on. That’s down to genetics and being ginger, I reckon. We’re special specimens.

We’re all just playing our own game. I don’t see it as a rivalry. We’re just trying to play our best.

Michelle Wie
Time makes a bigger difference: just making a game, shipping it, looking at what you did, how you did it, what you did well, what you didn’t do well, and doing better.

I was never interested in looking at myself in an aesthetic mirror. My intention was always to get away from myself, though I knew perfectly well that I was using myself. Call it a little game between ‘I’ and ‘me.’

Of course in a game you have to be serious, but still you have to have fun.

We in the Negro leagues felt like we were contributing something to baseball, too, when we were playing. We played with a round ball, and we played with a round bat. And we wore baseball uniforms, and we thought that we were making a contribution to baseball. We loved the game, and we liked to play it.

Buck Leonard
Football is a more beautiful game in high definition.

The only real game – I think – in the world is baseball.

George Herman
Black men constantly receive the message that they can’t make it in life through using legitimate means, and the only way they gain society’s respect is through the street game.

The first time I ever spoke to John Cassavetes was at a Lakers game. I got up to go for a hot dog, and he was coming in the opposite direction. I don’t know who said hello first, but we started talking, and it turned out that he went to high school with my first wife, Alice.

I have finished second twice in my time at Green Bay, and I don’t ever want to finish second again. There is a second place bowl game, but it is a game for losers played by losers. It is and always has been an American zeal to be first in anything we do, and to win, and to win, and to win.

If you aren’t playing well, the game isn’t as much fun. When that happens I tell myself just to go out and play as I did when I was a kid.

Thomas J Watson
Whether we’re up 2-0 early in the second half, or we’re up 1-0 with 10 minutes left in the game, my mind-set is the same when I come in the game. It’s to help keep that lead, whatever way I can.

You know this baseball game of ours comes up from the youth. That means the boys. And after you’ve been a boy, and grow up to know how to play ball, then you come to the boys you see representing themselves today in our national pastime.

George Herman
That is what Christmas should be about, I think – togetherness and playfulness. It’s like a game.

Billy Howle
I think players tend to get anxious if they’ve not really done things properly – like eating, resting or training. If you’re fully prepared you’ve got nothing to worry about – it’s just a game of football.

Roy Keane
I’m confident that no matter what game comes out, I’ll be able to play at a top competitive level.

You want to stop playing ‘Fortnite,’ man, because you aren’t having fun anymore? Good. Go watch someone else. Go play another game.

We have to take every game as it comes.

Heath Ledger’s performance in ‘The Dark Knight’ quite simply changed the game. He raised the bar not just for actors in superhero films, but young actors everywhere; for me. His performance was dark, anarchic, dizzying, free, and totally, thrillingly, dangerous.

Hitting is the most important part of the game. It is where the big money is, where much of the status is, and the fan interest.

Ted Williams
You can’t cheat the game. You can’t cheat the grind. You get out what you put in at the end of the day.

It’s huge. You win the first game of the series, you want to win the series.

Green synthetic practice mats are the worst thing for your golf game that I know of. You can hit six inches behind the ball and not even know it, because the ball still gets airborne. Practice nets are awful, too. Swing a weighted club instead.

Concentrate, play your game, and don’t be afraid to win.

Amy Alcott
I love this game. I love to find solutions, ideas. I always saw the potential of this league. Now that I’m here, I want to help.

In the game of life, survival is only part of the battle.

Great American sport. Horseshoes is a very great game. I love it.

The game has its ups and downs, but you can never lose focus of your individual goals and you can’t let yourself be beat because of lack of effort.

There is no king of golf. Never has been, never will be. Golf is the most democratic game on Earth… It punishes and exalts us all with splendid equal opportunity.

Respect the game on and off the field and if you do that, you’re going to have the respect among your peers.

As a fast bowler, if you are out of the game for five months, then that can be catastrophic, but to be out of the game for five years was very tough, and to make a comeback after such a lengthy period with no cricket behind me was a difficult ask.

I just try to go to the pitch and finish the game not being able to complain to myself knowing I have given everything.

They say that pace is the first thing to go, but my game was never based on pace. It was about strength and power and withstanding challenges and getting in the right position.

Injuries are part of the game, but sometimes we can avoid them by just practicing our techniques.

Troy Vincent
A person who can go out and get 40 is going to get a lot more respect than somebody who goes out and holds somebody to two points. It’s just the nature of the game. It doesn’t bother me.

I want to become one of the best players, so if you want to be one the best, you have to elevate all aspects of your game.

In the defensive midfield position, the player needs to give balance to the team and try to control the game. That’s exactly what I try to do.

Look at music for what it’s worth around the world and not just America. In other countries, people are still buying CDs and going to record stores. But in America, it’s all about digital. The game is breaking down. But, look at me, you need to know how to play the game the right way.

There is something special which rides on a game between Liverpool and United.

People don’t work as hard as I do. They don’t expect the same things out of the game that I do.

One day, you might look up and see me playing the game at 50. Don’t laugh. Never say never, because limits, like fears, are often just an illusion.

Our goal isn’t to go undefeated. Like, ‘Hey, we’re going to have an undefeated season.’ Our goal is to win every game we’re playing. And there’s a difference.

God has blessed me with an ability to go out there and play the game that I love to play. And I don’t want to regret that. So, I feel I need to go out every day and play like it’s my last.

I’m learning from my past mistakes and trying to correct them as I move forward. Experience at the international level has probably taught me what it takes to probably go out there and get a 100 or to build an innings or to win a game.

The chess-board is the world, the pieces are the phenomena of the universe, the rules of the game are what we call the laws of Nature. The player on the other side is hidden from us.

I believe God gave me talent to play this game, and I’d be sacrificing those gifts if I didn’t give my best every single day.

I don’t complain about other people’s game – I just create my own.

Go to a Cubs game and see how many people are in the stands, because when you can’t win, nobody cares anymore.

When I was 20, I was the hustler – rubbing my temples, stressed, trying to get out the streets, trying to take my life to another side of the game with something I really loved to do: rap music.

Golf is a game of ego, but it is also a game of integrity: the most important thing is you do what is right when no one is looking.

LeBron James is one of the best players in the league – and one of the best players to ever play the game.

Fencing is a game of living chess, a match where reflexes only work in combination with intent, and mind and body must work together at every moment.

V E Schwab
Everybody has a game plan, but the plan changes after the first punch.

Football and chess can seem like sporting polar opposites, but there are so many similarities with the modern game.

The name of the game is ‘kill the quarterback.’ Every football team tries to knock the guy out of the game that’s handling the ball.

There’s a famous slogan here in the Bavarian dialect, and we use it inside Bayern Munich. We say, ‘Mia san mia.’ Literally, it is, ‘We are we,’ but it means, ‘We are who we are.’ That’s not being very arrogant, but we are very confident about our ability to win the game. It is about a winning mentality.

Being a good game show panelist is like being a virtuoso of the kazoo.

But eventually it is a game of cricket.

The great trouble with baseball today is that most of the players are in the game for the money and that’s it, not for the love of it, the excitement of it, the thrill of it.

Ty Cobb
They invented the All-Star game for Willie Mays.

Ted Williams
Life is a song – sing it. Life is a game – play it. Life is a challenge – meet it. Life is a dream – realize it. Life is a sacrifice – offer it. Life is love – enjoy it.

Love is a game in which one always cheats.

We didn’t have our online service developed. We had never shipped a console game before as a company. So we were developing a lot of new competencies as a company and assembling a new team.

J Allard
My only feeling about superstition is that it’s unlucky to be behind at the end of the game.

Duffy Daugherty
If you have a game with your name on it, you have to learn how to play.

The notion that the public accepts or rejects anything in modern art is merely romantic fiction. The game is completed and the trophies distributed long before the public knows what has happened.

When I was 16, I’d been cast in ‘Fast Food Nation.’ And while I was playing in a charity baseball game, I ended up breaking my arm about a week before filming was starting.

Around the age of 14, I was very discouraged from a coach. It was my first youth club team while playing soccer. She told me at the time that I wasn’t good enough to play on the team, that I would never get into the game.

You have to be on top of your game, train hard every day, and try to convince the boss throughout the week that he should put you in the team.

Going home and just seeing what a mess youth baseball was was an eye-opener. I just want to make it a better game.

Roy Halladay
But we have seen amazing things, good and bad, happen in this game, so you can never take anything for granted. I certainly don’t. There are no guarantees, whether it is good bad or indifferent you just work hard to push the odds in your favour as regards myself and the team.

The game of basketball brings people together. It really doesn’t matter where you are coming from. It’s a game all of us love.

I seldom was ever off my seat on the bench during the game.

For me, each game is a new challenge, which has to be dealt with rationally and systematically. At that time, every other thought fades into oblivion.

Baseball is only a game, a game of inches and a lot of luck. During a time of all-out war, sports are very insignificant.
