I have not been short of invitations to other clubs and have been received more warmly by Everton than I have by Liverpool.

Denis Law could dance on eggshells.

In my time at Anfield we always said we had the best two teams on Merseyside - Liverpool and Liverpool reserves.

If you are first you are first. If you are second, you are nothing.

What a great day for football, all we need is some green grass and a ball.

At a football club, there's a holy trinity - the players, the manager and the supporters. Directors don't come into it. They are only there to sign the checks.

The difference between Everton and the Queen Mary is that Everton carry more passengers!

Some people think football is a matter of life and death. I assure you, it's much more serious than that.

The trouble with referees is that they know the rules, but they do not know the game.

The socialism I believe in is everybody working for the same goal and everybody having a share in the rewards. That’s how I see football, that’s how I see life.

If Everton were playing down the bottom of my garden, I'd draw the curtains.

The life I am experiencing, good or bad, is the collective result of the choices I have made, knowingly or unknowingly. When I accept this, I acknowledge that I have the power to create my destiny.

Growing up, when I was younger, I didn't feel all that tough or smart or strong. As I got older, I was able to discover my own strength.

Fill the bowl with rosy wine, around our temples roses twine, And let us cheerfully awhile, like wine and roses, smile.

I always tell people that if you get upset over what someone says, imagine him or her with a clown's nose on and you won't get so angry.

You can't get it right, until you make it wrong.

As long as I know my head's in the right place, my feet are on the ground, I think I'll be fine.

Anyone who tries to improve the lives of animals invariably comes in for criticism from those who believe such efforts are misplaced in a world of suffering humanity.

Always my collections are made of different influences.

Be content where you are! The sooner I let go of the notion that something could only be one way, the way I had planned it, without fail, I have always gotten more done and with far less discomfort.

If you can't count, they can cheat you. If you can't read, they can beat you.
