For me, your real age is not the age on your ID. That's just a date when you were born.

I don't say we are a defensive team. I say we are a strong team in defensive terms, but at the same time lacking sufficient fluidity in attack because that will take time to come.

Please don't call me arrogant, but I'm European champion and I think I'm a special one.

You have to work hard AND well. There are a lot of people who work hard but not well.

I hate to speak about individuals. Players don't win you trophies, teams win trophies, squads win trophies.

You win by effort, by commitment, by ambition, by quality, by expressing yourself individually but in the team context.

Arsenal have won that advantage, nobody gave it to them. By playing fantastic football and by winning matches and by winning trophies, they won that respect that the opponent has for them.

The title race is between two horses and a little horse that needs milk and needs to learn how to jump.

Never be the only one, except, possibly, in your own home.

Our country represents nothing but peaceful intentions toward all the earth, but it ought not to fail to maintain such a military force as comports with the dignity and security of a great people.

Fear is being used by the political class as an excuse to accumulate more power and self-importance - and collect a lot more taxes to support their agenda.

If I set out to sculpt a standing man and it becomes a lying woman, I know I am making art.

The 2012 London Olympic Games fostered a generation of hope. I witnessed women participating for the very first time, representing every nation.

The mob is a sort of bear; while your ring is through its nose, it will even dance under your cudgel; but should the ring slip, and you lose your hold, the brute will turn and rend you.

Life isn't a tiptoe through the tulips

I believe that everyone has it in them to kill another person. In desperation, or hatred, or at least to defend themselves.

At its fundamentally flawed core, the aim of almost any learning program is to help us become who we are not.
