In Britain, a cup of tea is the answer to every problem. Fallen off your bicycle? Nice cup of tea. Your house has been destroyed by a meteorite? Nice cup of tea and a biscuit.

Possibly a savoury option would be welcome here too, for example a Scotch egg or a sausage roll.

The next time you feel slightly uncomfortable with the pressure in your life, remember no pressure, no diamonds. Pressure is a part of success.
I didn't sleep with the European Cup but it was in my room! It was just special and I just had to have the cup with me, lifting the cup as Liverpool captain was just the best moment of my life.
Nothing counts but pressure, pressure, more pressure, and still more pressure through broad organized aggressive mass action.
I had a lot of pressure in my career: when you play at World Cup or Champions League final, there is pressure on your shoulders.

When God wants to bring more power into our lives., He brings more pressure. He is generating spiritual force by friction.
