“The enlargement of liberty for individual human beings must be the supreme goal and abiding practice of any western society.”

Punishment is not prevention. History offers cold comfort to those who think grievance and despair can be subdued by force.

There are those that look at things the way they are, and ask why? I dream of things that never were, and ask why not?

You’re happiest while you’re making the greatest contribution.

Some men see what is, and ask ‘Why?’ I see what might be, and ask ‘Why Not?’

Every dictatorship has ultimately strangled in the web of repression it wove for its people, making mistakes that could not be corrected because criticism was prohibited.

Every time you stand up for an ideal, you send forth a tiny ripple of hope.

Every society gets the kind of criminal it deserves. What is equally true is that every community gets the kind of law enforcement it insists on.

It is immoral to see evil and not act on it.

The essential humanity of men can be protected and preserved only where government must answer, not just to the wealthy, not just to those of a particular religion, or a particular race, but to all its people.

We can master change not though force or fear, but only though the free work of an understanding mind, though an openness to new knowledge and fresh outlooks, which can only strengthen the most fragile and most powerful of human gifts: the gift of reason.

What has violence ever accomplished? What has it ever created? No martyr’s cause has ever been stilled by an assassin’s bullet.

In your hands lies the future of your world and the fulfilment of the best qualities of your own spirit.

The future does not belong to those who are content with today Rather, it will belong to those who can blend vision, reason, and courage in a personal commitment.

If you never quit, youll never fail.

I believe that, as long as there is plenty, poverty is evil.

Together, we can make ourselves a nation that spends more on books than on bombs, more on hospitals than the terrible tools of war, more on decent houses than military aircraft.

A goal is different from a wish. You may wish to be rich, but there’s no responsibility for it. With a goal, it’s on you to achieve it.

If you want to speak about scoring goals, you should judge every midfielder the same way.

Success equals goals; all else is commentary.

Most people struggle with life balance simply because they haven’t paid the price to decide what is really important to them.

Don’t walk through life just playing football. Don’t walk through life just being an athlete. Athletics will fade. Character and integrity and really making an impact on someone’s life, that’s the ultimate vision, that’s the ultimate goal – bottom line.

Goals reflect your choice of destination.

Take a minute: look at your goals, look at your performance, see if your behavior matches your goals.

Picture yourself in your minds eye as having already achieved this goal. See yourself doing the things you’ll be doing when you’ve reached your goal.
