I have no hesitation in putting a name to the embodiment of all that I think is best about football. It's Paul Scholes. In so many ways Scholes is my favourite.

Some people tell me that we professional players are soccer slaves. Well, if this is slavery, give me a life sentence.

In the sweep of its appeal, its ability to touch every corner of humanity, football is the only game that needed to be invented.

Duncan Edwards is the one person who, even today, I really felt inferior to. I've never know anybody so gifted and strong and powerful with the presence that he had.

Beckham is unusual. He was desperate to be a footballer. His mind was made up when he was nine or ten. Many kids think that it's beyond them. But you can't succeed without practising at any sport.

Paul Scholes is my favourite player. He epitomises the spirit of Manchester United and everything that is good about football.

Im looking forward to the World Cup because I believe Wayne Rooney could be one of the major finds in world football.

It was a fair decision, the penalty, even though it was debatable whether it was inside or outside the box

I love watching little Paul Scholes, he's so in control of what he's doing and is always so accurate and pinpoint with his passing - it's just beautiful to watch.

Tottenham have impressed me. They haven't thrown in the towel even though they have been under the gun.

You can do anything with bayonets except sit on them.

My wife, as proud as she was of me, hated show business for good reasons. There was something about the spouse always being pushed out of the way, shoved aside. She wanted to get away from it.

Customer will create most value for you at point he thinks you're creating most value for him.

Wars in old times were made to get slaves. The modern implement of imposing slavery is debt.

Divine nature gave us fields, human skill built our cities. -Divina natura dedit agros, ars humana aedificavit urbes

I wish I played an instrument, but I could never decide which one, and I ended up playing nothing.

I do a good job of blocking painful, unnecessary things from my memory.

Postman is a media analyst and his theory is that television doesn't influence our culture, but that it is our culture and the presidency and anything that relies on television.

Of all the forces that are exerted on us over our lifetime, at least for me, love has been the most powerful of all.

Facts have proved that prosperity at the expense of the environment is only delaying disaster. We cannot passively protect our environment by simply stopping economic development.
