Although we are never glad when tragedy visits, we can be aware and seize the opportunity to do good in this world, even in the midst of tragedy.

Jim Rohn

I enjoy seeing young players given the opportunity and then perform and go on to have fulfilling careers.

Mickey Arthur

I am always capital short. If I see the opportunity, I will get the money.

Rakesh Jhunjhunwala

What is a defeat? It is just a good opportunity to make a new start, nothing else! Defeat is by no means a tragedy, but to consider it as a tragedy is in fact the greatest tragedy! In your every defeat, you must know that the paths of the victory never disappear; try those roads again!

Mehmet Murat Ildan

I think I'm realising that careers for tennis players are very short. On the women's side now, players are starting to peak later on, but the average age is about 31, 32 when you finish playing, so I want to make the most of it while I'm young, fit, and healthy. I don't want to waste any time.

Heather Watson

I ain't never loan friends money; I give it to 'em and I don't expect to get it back. Even when he says, "I'll pay you back," I never expect it. If he gives it back, then hey, that's a feather in his cap, but I don't expect to get it back.

Mike Tyson

Players judge their careers based on medals and trophies, don't they, and they look back on what they have achieved.

James Maddison

Players have a very short window of opportunity and they're just interested in what they can earn.

Tim Henman

Writing careers are short. For every 100 writers, 99 never get published. Of those who do, only one in every hundred gets a career out of it, so I count myself as immensely privileged.

Jim Crace

There's no tragedy in life like the death of a child. Things never get back to the way they were.

Dwight D. Eisenhower

When I was playing for Nacional in Montevideo, the players who lived outside the city would be given money by the club to get there and back on the bus.

Luis Suarez

There are players who tend not to look at the money short-term: they have a bigger plan.

Henrik Larsson

Every ex-player I meet says the exact same thing to me 'I wish I had given it longer'. Too many players get flights home when they have the opportunity because they' re missing their mates and home, then they go back into that environment and get comfortable.

Kevin Kilbane

Maybe UFC and Bellator should take care of the fighters when their careers are done, as the NFL takes care of their players. Because they're making so much money off us.

Tito Ortiz

The players get no respect around here. They give you money, that's it, not respect. We get constantly dogged and players from other teams love to see that. That's why nobody wants to play here.

Don Mattingly

I think, a lot of guys who want to be professional football players, they see the Premiership players, and they see the finished article, but there's a lot of hard work that's gone into their careers for them to get there. There's a lot of sacrifice, and I think people tend to forget that.
