“when you are old and realize that time is running out, you start imagining that you have the cure for all the ills of the world in your hand, and get frustrated because no one pays you any attention”

“You will die, not because you are ill, but because you are alive; even when you have been cured, thesame end awaits you; when you have recovered, it will be not death, but ill health, that you have escaped.”

“Because you play football with your head, and your legs are there to help you. If you don't use your head, using your feet won't be sufficient. Why does a player have to chase the ball? Because he started running too late. You have to pay attention, use your brain and find the right position. If you get to the ball late, it means you chose the wrong position. Bergkamp was never late.”

“You don't stop running because you get old, you get old because you stop running.”

“The unhappy person resents it when you try to cheer him up, because that means he has to stop dwelling on himself and start paying attention to the universe. Unhappiness is the ultimate form of self-indulgence. When you're unhappy, you get to pay a lot of attention to yourself. You get to take yourself oh so very seriously.”

“Because you have to just go with the flow. Your life is not your own, with people coming in and out all the time. You get mellow because you have to.”

“Because you can't argue with all the fools in the world. It's easier to let them have their way, then trick them when they're not paying attention.”

“Next time you get lost in thought, pay attention to where you went for therein lies your inner passion.”

“Pay attention to where you are going because without meaning you might get nowhere.”

“When you have money in hand, only you forget who are you. But when you do not have any money in your hand, the whole world forget who you are. It's life.”
