You can never quit. Winners never quit, and quitters never win.
An innings of neurotic violence, of eccentric watchfulness, of brainless impetuosity and incontinent savagery - it was an extraordinary innings, a masterpiece and it secured the Ashes for England [on Pietersen's Ashes winning innings, 2005
If you live long enough, you'll make mistakes. But if you learn from them, you'll be a better person. It's how you handle adversity, not how it affects you. The main thing is never quit, never quit, never quit.
Listen, here it is: Technically, I never quit. I'm seven years late for work.
You're always better off if you quit smoking; it's never too late.
I had good innings, as the British say. I wrote for 38 years at the top of my form, and I wanted to quit on a high note.
I get tired when I keep shorting my sleep, but I always make it to the gym. In our house, we live by this: 'Never quit, never cancel, never be late.' We've found it's a great way to live.
I never quit trying. I never felt that I didn't have a chance to win.
Winners never quit, quitters never win.
Winners never quit and quitters never win.
Losers are winners who quit,...even if you lose...you still win...if you don't quit.
There are things I'm never late for. I'm not late for the theater; I'm not late for the movies; I'm not late if my single girlfriend is at a bar somewhere. But if I'm on vacation in Mexico with a bunch of cackling hens, then I'm going to be late for dinner - count on it.
I do not lose; I just do not get decisions sometimes. You lose when you quit. I have never quit. When it comes down to a decision, judges make a decision as to which fighter they want to win the fight. I have always been able to survive no matter whom they decide to give the fight to.
One thing I have learned about Christians, having organized them for years - when they lose, they quit. And when they win they quit. We are just quitters.
I've always made a total effort, even when the odds seemed entirely against me. I never quit trying; I never felt that I didn't have a chance to win.
Six innings, you're doing your job. That's a good target to have, but I'm always looking to improve. There's three more innings of improvement left.
