Unlike cricket, where I reached the top solely down to my own efforts, cancer was not a one-man battle. This time, I couldn’t have done it on my own. Without the support and bullying encouragement of my wife Rachael, I would not be here now.
In 2000, I realized I had reached that certain age when the parts get scarcer. So I decided to try my hand at directing.

My own experience is that the best outcomes are reached when opposing viewpoints are clearly and strongly presented before decisions are made.
Mum encouraged my love of history. She was always dragging me off to visit historic properties, and then I reached an age when I suddenly appreciated it. We have a big overlap in interests and often work together.
For me, boxing’s like checkers, and MMA’s like chess – there are so many ways to win the match. It’s not barbaric; it’s boxing, kickboxing, Jiu-Jitsu, wrestling, cardio and it’s all reached such an amazing level. As fans learn more about the sport, they just fall in love with it.
We’ve reached a point where people are actually afraid to talk about what they want to say, because somebody might be offended. We’ve got to get over this sensitivity and it keeps people from saying what they really believe.
It is hardly plausible to view a whole succession of logics as an evolutionary and functional program of innate wiring, particularly in light of the fact that the most mature logical structures are reached only by some adults.
Never measure the height of a mountain until you have reached the top. Then you will see how low it was.
The sport of horse racing which, at its best, showcases the majestic beauty of this animal and the athleticism of jockeys, has reached an alarming level of corruption and exploitation.
I always planned to retire when I was at the top and at Manchester United I have reached the pinnacle of my career.

When I first came out, holidays were hard. I reached a point where I didn’t go home anymore. I constructed my own, kind of like, family group around Christmas.
I would take issue with the assertion that President Trump has reached out to a diverse group for his cabinet secretaries. In fact, his cabinet is one of the least diverse in modern history.
I actually reached out to my agent about appearing on ‘The Good Wife.’ The main character of the show went to Georgetown and that’s where I played my college ball so there’s a small connection.
I’ve reached a point in England where you can’t go much further; I would love to come to America and work with some of the interesting directors here.

It’s when ordinary people rise above the expectations and seize the opportunity that milestones truly are reached.
I was editing Canadian Literature. I didn’t want to let Canadian Literature go, so they reached a nice compromise by which I received half a professor’s salary.
As a base runner myself, the moment I reached second base I began to fantasize about the potential contact at the plate. Every time I met a catcher in front of the plate throughout my career, the response I received from my teammates when returning to the dugout was a true hero’s welcome.
I would rather have a career where I improve year after year than go to the top and then decline. There are a lot of strikers that reached the top before 25, but after 25, they went down.
A young girl reached out to me to be her mentor one day, which I didn’t really know anything about. What I did remember was what it was to be alone as an African-American dancer in the ballet world and wanting to connect with someone who looks like me.
Tony Blair will be remembered for nothing other than that he followed George W. Bush over a cliff; took the rest of us with them, and we haven’t yet reached the bottom, I’m afraid.
‘In Utero’ was the first time I’d made an album that reached into the dark side. I remember the conflict and the uncertainty. I remember all those things when I hear ‘Pennyroyal Tea.’
Administrator McCarthy and the EPA will soon find out that Washington bureaucrats are becoming far too aggressive in attacking our way of life. Administrator McCarthy should be apologizing to Missourians. EPA aggression has reached an all-time high, and now it must be stopped.
I love my life. I commentate for Eurosport, so you could say I’ve reached the final of every grand slam since 2002 when I started that. I love what I do, and I love playing tennis with amateurs, regular guys, helping to teach them to enjoy tennis more.
Obama had reached out to the business community, they just haven’t liked all of his decisions and some of his rhetoric. But generally, I think the administration is quite open and accessible.
Arise! Awake! and stop not until the goal is reached.
The true artist is not proud: he unfortunately sees that art has no limits; he feels darkly how far he is from the goal, and though he may be admired by others, he is sad not to have reached that point to which his better genius only appears as a distant, guiding sun.
Terror threats to the U.S. homeland have reached unprecedented levels.
Banking now is like sending a letter: you send it, you don’t know if it reached there. Ripple is more like sending an iMessage: you send it, and you immediately know.
The Latin American debt that reached crisis levels from 1982 would have been sharply reduced by return of flight capital – in some cases, overcome, though all figures are dubious for these secret and often illegal operations.

True maturity is only reached when a man realizes he has become a father figure to his girlfriends’ boyfriends – and he accepts it.
Growing up, politics never trickled down to the areas we come from. But people from Obama’s camp, and Obama himself, reached out to me and asked for my help on the campaign. We’ve sat and had dinner, and we’ve spoken on the phone. He’s a very sharp guy. Very charming. Very cool.

There are many countries in the world that when they reached the middle-income stage, they witnessed serious structural problems such as growth stagnation, a widening wealth gap and increasing social unrest.

And for me, I reached the point where I know the way I live my life is not conventional, and so I feel like whatever relationship I do end up in is also not going to be conventional. So I don’t operate from feeling like I have to be with someone who is Muslim, or the other way around.
I learned about forgiveness, and I’ve reached out to others to make amends.
The most important thing will be when we actually stop talking about sexual orientation. The moment we reach that point when that is not important any more, we’ve reached a big goal which is a long way in front of us.
A revolution is to bring on change and we’re spiritual people trying to bring on spiritual change. It might sound like I’m a dreamer, but economic models have reached their height of evolution. Technology has evolved. What hasn’t evolved is mankind’s spirituality; everything is from 3,000 years ago.
Decisions concerning covert actions are not often easily reached.
The aim, if reached or not, makes great the life: Try to be Shakespeare, leave the rest to fate!
It seemed to me that I had barely reached the Court when people were trying to get me off.
Corruption has reached an unacceptable level. It devours resources that could be devoted to the citizens. It impedes the proper carrying out of market rules and penalizes the honest and capable.
Back in 1999 and 2000, a few of us… a very few of us… Douglas Clegg, Seth Godin and I… offered free electronic copies of our books in an effort to reach an audience we otherwise wouldn’t have reached and to test out a new marketing concept for books. Despite the industry screaming we were crazy, it worked.
I am disappointed when I don’t win, because I want to believe I can win on every horse I ride, which is a ridiculous thing to think. Even if I’m on a horse that I have woken up thinking has no chance, by the time I’ve reached the course, I’ll have convinced myself that it can win and will be disappointed if it doesn’t.
