“Life is a game, play it.”

People are unrealistic, illogical, and self-centered. Love them anyway.

Words which do not give the light of Christ increase the darkness.

The most terrible poverty is loneliness, and the feeling of being unloved.

I prefer you to make mistakes in kindness than work miracles in unkindness.

A joyful heart is the normal result of a heart burning with love. She gives most who gives with joy.

In the home begins the disruption of the peace of the world.

The trees, the flowers, the plants grow in silence. The stars, the sun, the moon move in silence. Silence gives us a new perspective.

Spread the love of God through your life but only use words when necessary.

Love is a fruit in season at all times and within reach of every hand.

Work without love is slavery.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.

If you can’t feed a hundred people, feed just one.

How can there be too many children? That is like saying there are too many flowers.

Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier. Be the living expression of God’s kindness: kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile.

If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.

I love dressing up, and I’m aware that people do say that it can take your attention away from the game. But I disagree with this notion!

Gratitude to all the coaches, teachers and mentors of the game who helped me understand this game better.

War is the statesman’s game, the priest’s delight, the lawyer’s jest, the hired assassin’s trade.

I didn’t think I would have an Olympic medal at 21, but I knew I would give my best and play my game. I just viewed it as my first Olympics and that I would take it one match at a time, but to bring a silver home made me very, very happy.

I feel that World Cup cricket should be played like football in which all the 160 countries take part. If only a handful of countries are going to keep on playing in the World Cup without making the game popular, I will be a sad man.

Against each player, I will give 100 per cent. I give my best in every game.

It’s always tough when you lose – you’ve worked so hard for that moment and it hasn’t gone the way you wanted. But you have to realise there’s always a bright side, you have to pick yourself up and get ready for the next game.

Make the whole life a game. There is no purpose there is no aim, nothing. Just take it lightly, easily. Play the game. that is worship, which is celebration.
