As long as you've got serious investors who wish to put money into football, I applaud. It proves that football is attractive. What upsets me, what I find scandalous is when clubs accept fools.

FIFA stands for discipline, respect, fair-play, not just on the field of play, but in our society as well.

What I am most proud of is the legacy of hope that FIFA and football leaves around the world. It makes all of the efforts and energy I pour into this job worth it.

Fifa cannot sit by and see greed rule the football world. Nor shall we.

Why is it good for football to take the excitement away from fans by overcharging them for tickets to see their team?

We shall wonder if one day our game is played on another planet? Why not? Then we will have not only a World Cup we will have inter-planetary competitions.

We cannot allow the reputation of football and FIFA to be dragged through the mud any longer.

Racism and discrimination of any kind have no place in football.

Football is hope. To be a better human being but also hope one day, one day, to leave your country to be somewhere, let's say admired, as a football star.

It's up to the national associations and their leagues to limit the entry of foreign players.

It is very important that football can see beyond religion but FIFA does not just ignore its impact.

Instead of looking at life as a narrowing funnel, we can see it ever widening to choose the things we want to do, to take the wisdom we've learned and create something.

All things human change.

I'm really good at sleeping on planes. I mean, I smell jet fuel and I'm out; I'm asleep for takeoff.

I also found it funny to think about blackness as the second person. That was just sort of funny. Not the first person, but the second person, the other person.

I have been everywhere because I don't know what I'm looking for.

The new year begins in a snow-storm of white vows.

I believe in the importance of seeking self-knowledge. The more I know myself, the more I feel empowered.

To prove religious faith by human reason is rationalistic claptrap.

Fogeydom is the last bastion of the bore and reminiscence is its anthem. It is futile to want the old days back, but that doesn't mean one should ignore the lessons of the visitable past.
