Ce que je sais de la morale, c'est au football que je le dois. (I know of morality, it is football that I owe.)

Albert Camus

All that I know most surely about morality and obligations I owe to football.

Albert Camus

Really, I learned a long time ago that in the National Football League, paper doesn't mean anything. Football teams are created on the football field.

Mike McCarthy

Morality, like language, is an invented structure for conserving and communicating order. And morality is learned, like language, by mimicking and remembering.

Jane Rule

In 2008, when I was wrapped up a very toxic relationship, I lived out of my car for about four months to get away. And what I learned about myself in the process is that sometimes a safety net isn't really that safe; it's what keeps you from flying. That year I went from playing football to being a football player. Football wasn't paying my bills, but people didn't really know how bad it was. That was the one place in the world that when everything else was chaos, I could be great. I think we all have that place where we experience greatness. Football definitely saved my life.

religion notoriously claims that they invented morality, they didn't. Morality exists in animals, ya know.

Seth MacFarlane

I have a morality. I don't know if it's the best morality. And I do like thinking. If people perceive that as a moral intellectualism, that's fine. That's up to them to decide.

Stephen Colbert

I didn't even grow up with football. I learned the rules of football on this show [The League].

Katie Aselton

Football is my base; that's where I learned to be tough. I was a strong safety, and that's what I do: I hit people. The mentality is football, the wrestling is precision.

Christian Kane

Morality is probably the last thing one can learn from football.

Orhan Pamuk

How can you construct a morality if there's no morality inherent in the way things are? You might be able to delude yourself into thinking you had 'created' a morality, but that's all it would be, an illusion.

John Lennox

I learned personally and in football. Until you're away, and you have no family, the food, the weather, you don't know what you have, and you learn to value things.

Gerard Deulofeu

Everything about morality and obligations I owe to football.

Vidal Sassoon

I played football ever since I was a little boy. Coming from a family of six boys, I guess we learned the game of football from a very young age.

Jim Kelly

I want to say thank you Arsene Wenger for your legacy. For all the coaches in the world, he is a reference. We learned, I learned from him all the things in football.
