“I gave all I had. Now I want to enjoy my family.”

I was waiting for my teammates to embrace me and no one came, I told them, ‘Come hug me or the referee isn’t going to allow it.’

Even if there was a hand, it was the hand of God.

The goal was scored a little bit by the hand of God, another bit by the head of Maradona.

You were only a goalkeeper.

People who say that only young people voted on the Internet, those who didn’t see Pele play, forget that children are not orphans. There’s always a father who buys the computer and perhaps influences their vote. I won the people’s vote.

I’ll be too old to face a difficult championship as the one in America will surely be.

To see the ball, to run after it, makes me the happiest man in the world.

There would be no debate about who was the best footballer the world had ever seen – me or Pele. Everyone would say me.

It was as if we had beaten a country, more than just a football team.

While the coach is entitled to celebrate the team’s victories, there is a manner and a way of doing so without aggravating the opponent.

When you win, you don’t get carried away. But if you go step by step, with confidence, you can go far.

When people succeed, it is because of hard work. Luck has nothing to do with success.

I am black or white, I’ll never be grey in my life.

When God decides its time, I guess he’ll come for us.

I feel thankful to God, first and foremost, allowing me to enjoy this ‘smell the roses’ kind of thing.

If I was dead, I wouldn’t know I was dead. That’s the only thing I have against death. I want to enjoy my death.

I’m never tired of going to the studio. I enjoy recording and documenting everything and trying new things.

I love cats because I enjoy my home; and little by little, they become its visible soul.

It’s just people should realize that the celebrity aspect of being an actor is very rarely enjoyable for people like me who would always rather go unnoticed and disappear into the crowd.

Mockingbirds don’t do one thing but make music for us to enjoy. They don’t eat up people’s gardens, don’t nest in corncribs, they don’t do one thing but sing their hearts out for us. That’s why it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird.

Sir, Respect Your Dinner: idolize it, enjoy it properly. You will be many hours in the week, many weeks in the year, and many years in your life happier if you do.

He that hath light within their own breast, may sit in the centre and enjoy bright day.
