Football (soccer) is a matter of life and death, except more important.
Some people think football is a matter of life and death. I assure you, it's much more serious than that.
Nothing is a matter of life and death except life and death.
When you're are playing for the national championship, it's not a matter of life or death. Its more important than that.
Football is important, football is my life, I love it but life is more important than football.
When your are playing for the national championship, it's not a matter of life or death. It's more important than that.
Now winning is more important and it trumps the way you achieve it. Unfortunately for soccer, the style doesn't matter so much.
Death is more important than life. Life is just the trivial, just the superficial; death is deeper. Through death you grow to the real life, and through life you only reach death and nothing else.
Football is important, but my family and faith are also important, and no matter how good a football player I am, I knew I still needed to be a good member of the church. Having that spiritual connection helped me throughout the season. It brought balance. I felt better about myself and saw improvements in all aspects of my life.
It's funny, you'll probably find me more often watching soccer than a football game, because I get enough football in my daily schedule.
All my life my priority was football, football, football. I was just fully focused on that and when my kids were born that focus changed gradually. I had something in my life that changed my perspective. You experience something that is more important than win, lose or draw.
I didn't win prom king. By that point, I'd quit sports except for soccer, so I was really just a theater guy. I totally lost to the captain of the football team.
I think it is important for all those young out there - who someday hope to play real football, where you throw it and kick it and run with it and put it in your hands - [that] a distinction should be made that football is democratic capitalism, whereas soccer is a European socialist sport.
The certainty that our football, the football of Spain, is recognised, that's very important to us - perhaps more important than the successes and the joy that you can create. Football hasn't always been appreciated, and luckily our football is appreciated now, at all levels of society.
Loosen up. Relax. Except for rare life-and-death matters, nothing is as important as it first seems.
Death makes no sense except to people who have passionately loved life. How can one die without having something to part from? Detachment is a negation of both life and death. Whoever has overcome his fear of death has also triumphed over life. For life is nothing but another word for this fear.
The ordinary man is living a very abnormal life, because his values are upside down. Money is more important than meditation; logic is more important than love; mind is more important than heart; power over others is more important than power over one's own being. Mundane things are more important than finding some treasures which death cannot destroy.
