There are two types of people: those who try to win and those who try to win arguments. They are never the same.
Suckers try to win arguments, nonsuckers try to win.
I would love to try to win another game. Obviously, it's more fun when you win. I'd rather try and not win than not try at all.
There are only two types of player-those who keep their nerves under control and win championships, and those who do not.
What we've been trying to do is difficult. You know it's difficult to win one, to win two. Madness to win three. But to try and come back to win it again should be impossible really.
Don't try to convince your partner you are right. Instead of trying to win arguments, try to have a winning relationship!
For me, it's about trying to do everything I can to help us win. Try to bring that energy every night, try to make it as contagious as possible and try to win a game.
Coming off the last turn, my thoughts changed from 'One more try...one more try...one more try...' to 'I can win! I can win! I can win!
Americans are very much 'Win! Win! Win!' In England, we don't give a fig whether you win. It's great if you do, but we appreciate those who don't.

Most of this film, however, is about interpretation - are these people terrorists or freedom fighters? Are they good or bad? Is cutting timber good or bad? And I don't feel like the answers to those questions are simple, so we don't try to answer them for the audience. I wanted to elicit the strongest - and most heartfelt - arguments from the characters in the film and let those arguments bang up against the strongest arguments of their opponents.
I know I probably never will win the league MVP or passing title. That is not why I play the game. I try to win football games and championships.
There are two types of people in the world: those who think everyone needs therapy, and those who have never been.
I never expected to win Young Player or Player of the Season because there is some fantastic competition - Ruben Neves at Wolves, James Maddison at Norwich, and Tom Cairney here at Fulham. To win those two awards is a special feeling.
In a democracy, hostage tactics are the last resort for those who can’t otherwise win their fights through elections, can’t win their fights in Congress, can’t win their fights for the Presidency, and can’t win their fights in Courts. For this right-wing minority, hostage-taking is all they have left – a last gasp of those who cannot cope with the realities of our democracy.
