I once cried because I had no shoes to play soccer, but one day, I met a man who had no feet.

If you are determined and confident, there is nothing in this great existence that can stop you from achieving what you want.

I am first of all from La Castellane and Marseille.

Ronaldinho is a special player, but Thierry Henry is probably technically the most gifted footballer ever to play the beautiful game.

Nobody knows if Zidane is an angel or demon. He smiles like Saint Teresa and grimaces like a serial killer.

Everything I have achieved in football is due to playing football in the streets with my friends

Real Madrid is the most important thing that happened to me, both as a footballer and as a person.

I may have had a lot of luck in my life, but I still need to find a challenge in the game.

You rarely come across the complete footballer, but Scholes is as close to it as you can get. One of my regrets is that the opportunity to play alongside him never presented itself during my career.

Zidane was from another planet. When Zidane stepped onto the pitch, the 10 other guys just got suddenly better. It is that simple.

Life is full of regrets, but it doesn't pay to look back.

It is important to build inner core, form beliefs and life values

Befriend knowledge

Words make love with one another.

Once you've grown to accept something and it becomes part of the system you've inherited, you don't even notice it any longer.

Love is proved in the letting go.

Books may be written in all sorts of places. Verbal inspiration may enter the berth of a mariner on board a ship frozen fast in a river in the middle of a town.

Hesitating to act because the whole vision might not be achieved, or because others do not yet share it, is an attitude that only hinders progress.

Knowledge can never replace friendship. I prefer to be an idiot!

The most precious contribution we can make here on Earth is to create the lives we want to be living, communicating in all ways, to everyone around us, that success is really possible.

A fair day's wages for a fair day's work.
