The game of history is usually played by the best and the worst over the heads of the majority in the middle.
In the game of life, survival is only part of the battle.
As a fast bowler, if you are out of the game for five months, then that can be catastrophic, but to be out of the game for five years was very tough, and to make a comeback after such a lengthy period with no cricket behind me was a difficult ask.
I happen to believe that video games will be the largest sport and entertainment in the world. The reason for that is a video game can be every sport. You can be anybody.
War is the statesman’s game, the priest’s delight, the lawyer’s jest, the hired assassin’s trade.
No matter what the game was or how much older and stronger the other kids were, we were taught to give it everything we had until it was over. Never give less than one hundred percent.
I adore the game of golf. I won’t ever retire.
One thing I really liked about David Winfield, man, just… the way he played the game, and such a class act he was on and off the field.
What I try to do is, I just want the fans to enjoy the game.
Pep is the best manager in the world. He’s always looking to help me get better and improve my game.
Acting is playing pretend, playing a children’s game at an adult level, but with children’s rules. It’s fun to play bad guys. I’ve never been in a fight in my life, so it’s fun to play something that’s different.
Confidence is the most important single factor in this game, and no matter how great your natural talent, there is only one way to obtain and sustain it: work.
Just play. Have fun. Enjoy the game.
If you’re not an ambitious footballer, you’re in the wrong game, really.
I’ve got to give Larry Bird his due; he was a great player. He knew the game and he was smart.
What I like about The Sims is that I don’t have a normal life at all, so I play this game where these people have these really boring, mundane lives. It’s fun.
I studied video game design. The one thing I knew for sure about myself is I didn’t want to study acting.
Around the age of 14, I was very discouraged from a coach. It was my first youth club team while playing soccer. She told me at the time that I wasn’t good enough to play on the team, that I would never get into the game.
The name of the game is ‘kill the quarterback.’ Every football team tries to knock the guy out of the game that’s handling the ball.
It’s a whole different world once you get into games. You have people actually trying to hit you, the speed of the game’s a lot faster, you have a lot of different things you need to check and see. It’s a whole different world up there once game time comes.
I was a hunter and fisherman, and many a time I have slipped out into the woods and prairies at 4 a.m. and brought home plenty of game, or have gone in a canoe to the cove and brought back a good supply of fresh fish.
You never want to hit your cruising altitude; you always want to be ascending with your game. You can always get better.
Politics is not a game. It is an earnest business.
My game hasn’t changed at all. I don’t call it flair or whatever. It’s just the way I’ve always played.
If you’re playing for 10 or 15 years, you can’t every week run six option plays. It can be around. It can be a part of the game, but sooner or later you’ve got to deliver the ball from the pocket. That’s the game. Now, if the game changes, and it’s proven a championship can be won from the pistol spread, then I’m wrong.
To know the rules of the game, you have to be educated.
If you have the opportunity to play this game of life you need to appreciate every moment. A lot of people don’t appreciate the moment until it’s passed.
People have compared me to Lupe Fiasco, Kanye West, Eminem, and J. Cole. They bring substance and largely are all good storytellers, and those are two of my biggest strengths. It’s dope to be compared to people who have longevity in the game because that’s the most important thing for me: I want my name to live forever.
My game is characterised by consistency.
Opening day. All you have to do is say the words and you feel the shutters thrown wide, the room air out, the light pour in. In baseball, no other day is so pure with possibility. No scores yet, no losses, no blame or disappointment. No hangover, at least until the game’s over.
My game is based on improvisation. Often, a forward does not have the time to think too much. You have a second, rarely more, to decide whether to dribble, shoot or pass to the right or left. It is instinct that gives the orders.
My game is not talking. I just go out there and play. I don’t care who’s across from me.
I guess there is nothing that will get your mind off everything like golf. I have never been depressed enough to take up the game, but they say you get so sore at yourself you forget to hate your enemies.
In life, so many things are taken for granted, but one thing I can honestly say is that I took every day, enjoyed the game of putting on that uniform and playing the great game of baseball.
You know that we are not in the regime-change game. We are against interference in domestic conflicts.
I think the journey of making a game… we want to enjoy that process.
Every game, you’ve got to play with no fear.
T20 is generally the fun side of cricket. You’ve got to have a sense of humour. Some days you can turn up and get whacked. Next game turn up, bowl the same and you don’t go for many. You have to take it as it comes.
The notion that the public accepts or rejects anything in modern art is merely romantic fiction. The game is completed and the trophies distributed long before the public knows what has happened.
The game of basketball brings people together. It really doesn’t matter where you are coming from. It’s a game all of us love.
They invented the All-Star game for Willie Mays.
I bought a company in the mid-’90s called Dexter Shoe and paid $400 million for it. And it went to zero. And I gave about $400 million worth of Berkshire stock, which is probably now worth $400 billion. But I’ve made lots of dumb decisions. That’s part of the game.
I think it’s wrong that only one company makes the game Monopoly.
Daring ideas are like chessmen moved forward; they may be beaten, but they may start a winning game.
The next time I cry about golf it will only be with joy. It’s not worth crying over golf for any other reason. After all, it’s only a game.
To be honest, I’ve made a game out of trying to live through my James Dean, Janis Joplin, Freddie Prinze, Jim Morrison period, those demons that we all have that we’re either successful or not at making work for us rather than destroy us.
What’s so cool about ‘Light of the Seven’ – and what I love about ‘Game of Thrones’ – is you never know what’s going to happen.
Let’s face it. Umpiring is not an easy or happy way to make a living. In the abuse they suffer, and the pay they get for it, you see an imbalance that can only be explained by their need to stay close to a game they can’t resist.
If you look at the movie ‘Belly,’ I identify with Sincere the most. I am a gangster. I love my lady to death. I’m not in the game for the wrong reasons. I’m not in the game for the glory. I’m in the game to survive so the people that I love could be straight. I’m a highly intelligent individual.
I remember being a teenager and watching 40-year-old Michael Jordan compete in his final All-Star game.
Marriage is like a game of chess except the board is flowing water, the pieces are made of smoke and no move you make will have any effect on the outcome.
I like to watch the great players, the ones who are technically good and understand the game. I try to see how they move.
At the end of 2003, my game was complete. Shooting, defense, using the dribble, transition, midrange stuff was all there. Then it was about fine-tuning and trying to improve in each area.
I think I’m unique to the game ’cause of my versatility.
I know I’m never as good or bad as one single performance. I’ve never believed in my critics or my worshippers, and I’ve always been able to leave the game at the arena.
I have a short time to play this game. I’m trying to get every ounce of it out of my body.
My favorite goals are the ones when there’s so much pressure. I focus more when the game is on the line.
I bet on my team to win every night because I love my team; I believe in my team. I did everything in my power every night to win that game.
Honestly, Flav is not much of a video game player these days. BUT, I used to spend hours on Time Crisis. I beat all levels, man.
Each player must accept the cards life deals him or her: but once they are in hand, he or she alone must decide how to play the cards in order to win the game.
Art is an invention of aesthetics, which in turn is an invention of philosophers… What we call art is a game.
Entrepreneurship is a muscle, and winning is an endurance game.
Injuries are a part of the game.
Litigation is the pursuit of practical ends, not a game of chess.
Community organizing is all about building grassroots support. It’s about identifying the people around you with whom you can create a common, passionate cause. And it’s about ignoring the conventional wisdom of company politics and instead playing the game by very different rules.
