“I think pride is more important sometimes than making money.”

I always breathe cricket.

All artists are crazy.

I have no political aspirations. That’s it.

Though teenagers are generally very interested in sports, they must realise that education is the most important thing in their lives. They must find the right balance.

Irrespective of any political party, I am a supporter of good people who want to do something for the society.

The hunger to win must not die. The appetite has to remain big.

Try and understand: cricket was played by Commonwealth countries only; now it has started in other countries as well, and I am proud of that.

When I was a boy, cricket was very, very English. Anyone who spoke English and anyone from a big town could play. And that was it.

Spirituality lies in what you do and how you do it and not what result you get.

People never expected a boy from a small town to have a life like I did.

The next generation has always been and will be better than the previous one. If it is not, then the world would not be moving forward.

Maybe a day will come when we may have to just put on a pair of glasses and see sports events.

As a sportsman, my aim was to help sportspersons grow. The idea is to see what is good for sport rather than what’s good for individuals.

Let me clarify it through the national news agency that I am not joining Aam Aadmi Party. There has been reports that I will be officially joining AAP, but I can assure you that nothing of that sort is happening.

If you play good cricket, a lot of bad things get hidden.

I don’t look into negative things. Go past mistakes and look forward.

Accumulated wealth is saved by spending just as incoming fresh water is saved by letting out stagnant water.

I believe the power to make money is a gift of God.

That is not true I am not a greedy man because if I was why would i donate money to charity? I care about others as well.

The world assumes that we are very happy with high mansions, fine carriages, servants and attendants, huge investments, and concubines. But he who is without the honor and strength of the soul can be anything but happy.

I still love things that you don’t even need to pay for. Going to the beach and being around five of your friends and having a good time means so much more than going out and spending hundreds of dollars.

I know of nothing more despicable and pathetic than a man who devotes all the hours of the waking day to the making of money for money’s sake.

The major fortunes in America have been made in land.

I don’t fight for the money. I fight for my legacy. I fight for history. I fight for my people.
