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.

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.

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.

When you go into extra time, we're talking about drama. But when we reach the penalty shootout, it's a tragedy.

In an age of iPhones and Playstations, it's great to see that somebody's still rocking the bus-on-a-string.

My friend, why should you wish to shorten my life by taking from me my shadow? (To photographer Dr. Valentine T. McGillycuddy.)

We want far better reasons for having children than not knowing how to prevent them.

You cannot judge the value of a life by its length.

Religion is sort of like a lift in your shoes. If it makes you feel better, fine. Just don't ask me to wear your shoes.

My weakness is wearing too much leopard print.

The main rule to me is to honor God with your life. To live a life of integrity. Not be selfish. You know, help others. But that's really the essence of the Christian faith.

No one ever fell under the burden of the day; it is only when the burden of tomorrow is added that the load becomes unbearable.

Ah, you know my weaknesses--my children and my horses.

I hate people who act too cool for school. Just own up to it, dude.
