I'm in no rush to be the one of the greats. I am one of the greats. I consider myself to be one of the greats of my division.

Jermall Charlo

You'll always find that goalkeepers are a team within the team, and I've always had good relationships with the others, which is important because nobody understands the mindset of a goalkeeper like the other goalkeepers.

Wojciech Szczesny

England has always been famous for great goalkeepers, before I came. We had good goalkeepers, but we didn't have the big world-class 'keeper, maybe.

Sven-Goran Eriksson

Good work is no done by "humble" men. It is one of the first duties of a professor, for example, in any subject, to exaggerate a little both the importance of his subject and his own importance in it. A man who is always asking "Is what I do worth while?" and "Am I the right person to do it?" will always be ineffective himself and a discouragement to others. He must shut his eyes a little and think a little more of his subject and himself than they deserve. This is not too difficult: it is harder not to make his subject and himself ridiculous by shutting his eyes too tightly.

G. H. Hardy

We sometimes undervalue the importance of goalkeepers.

Jamie Carragher

I think we've always got to have a mind of the feeling for the supporters about the importance of each match. We've got to be careful not to make tournaments too big and then make qualifying too straightforward.

Gareth Southgate

In Europe, you are taught to keep the ball out of the net any way possible. That's why Germany and Spain have the best goalkeepers in the world. They give young goalkeepers a chance and accept they are going to make mistakes. Long term, that will reap huge rewards.

Kasper Schmeichel

I've never really spent too much or put too much gravity or placed too much importance on being a pop star. It's like, OK, great, does that mean I don't have to do anything anymore except walk around and be a pop star?

Neneh Cherry

People will assign irrational importance to almost anything in quotes on top of a pleasant image

Colin Fletcher

There are many mediocre entertainers who don't aspire to much more than fame and glory. It's very easy to have them as your role models because there aren't as many greats. Go back, discover the greats, and take it from there.

Carmen Ejogo

There are very few young goalkeepers who play at the top level. Most goalkeepers figure it out as time goes on.

Tim Howard

I don't place too much importance on words. It's always the last thing I do because I'm definitely more interested in mood.

Jack Tatum

I am tired of kissing on screen. I have to do it because it is synonymous with me. Also, the producers and directors want to add that element. I don't give it too much importance.

Emraan Hashmi

As soon as you make mistakes, or you have an off year, even if it's not your fault as a quarterback... I've always said the quarterback and the head coach always get too much blame when you lose and too much credit when you win.

Eli Manning

We teach girls to shrink themselves, to make themselves smaller. We say to girls: 'You can have ambition, but not too much. You should aim to be successful, but not too successful. Otherwise, you will threaten the man.' Because I am female, I am expected to aspire to marriage. I am expected to make my life choices, always keeping in mind that marriage is the most important. Now, marriage can be a source of joy and love and mutual support, but why do we teach girls to aspire to marriage and we don't teach boys the same?
