I want to be a good cricketer, but I am a person first and a cricketer second. I won't always be a cricketer, but I will always be a person.

Dale Steyn

When it comes to Pakistan, the first word that comes to the mind of the Chinese is 'iron brother.' To us Chinese, Pakistan is always a trustworthy friend who is as solid as iron. Actually, Chinese netizens refer to Pakistan as 'Iron Pak.' This testifies to the strength of China-Pakistan friendship.

Li Keqiang

I am talking as an Indian and not as as a cricketer. I believe we should not have any ties or relationship with Pakistan. For me, it is very important to protect our people.

Gautam Gambhir

For politicians truth and falsehood are unimportant. So I never could become a politician - not even a church politician.

Martin Niemoller

I wanted to be a cricketer. But I was not skilled enough to be a national-level cricketer.

Sushant Singh Rajput

We are better placed than Pakistan as we have been playing against top teams around the world. Pakistan on the other hand failed to qualify for the Olympics for the first time in their history.

P. R. Sreejesh

America always thought it was helping Pakistan. But if it hadn't helped Pakistan, Pakistan would have been a stronger country.

Indira Gandhi

Our Pakistan elites are spoiled by permanent foreign aid and therefore find it difficult to change course. Pakistan needs someone who stands up and says: Fundamentalism is bad, capitalism is good. This region harbors enormous potential. Pakistan could become the hub for the energy that is transported from Central Asia to South Asia. That could change the whole region.

Ahmed Rashid

But politics is something that would require so much of me. I'm a public figure now, but as a politician... It's more likely that I'll become a sportscaster than a politician.

Pam Shriver

There is a vast difference between playing Pakistan at home and away. I clearly recall, going into the quarter-finals at the Chinnaswamy stadium in 1996, that the pressure eased a bit when I stepped into a stadium where I had practically grown up as a cricketer.

Anil Kumble

I always wanted to become a cricketer.

Vishnu Vishal

Pakistan now is like a horror film franchise. You know, it's 'Friday the 13th, Episode 63: The Terrorist from Pakistan.' And each time we hear of Pakistan it's in that context.

Mohsin Hamid

I concentrated on politics and movies because cricket was taken away from me. But the world knows Sreesanth as a cricketer, and I, too, like to be remembered as a cricketer who gave everything on the field.

S. Sreesanth

I don't know if I would have made a better engineer than a cricketer. I definitely think I am a much better cricketer.

Ravichandran Ashwin

Pakistan always seems to have a lot of political complexities and political challenges. But Pakistan is important for a number of reasons. Primarily, it is a nuclear power. And if, in fact, al Qaeda and Taliban, which are in Pakistan and causing a lot of tragedies and deaths in Pakistan - if they would ever somehow have real influence and control of that government, then we [world] really have a problem.

Dan Quayle

Al Qaeda is almost all in Pakistan, and Pakistan has nuclear weapons. And yet for every dollar we're spending in Pakistan, we're spending $30 in Afghanistan. Does that make strategic sense?

Joe Biden
