Personally, I need a high level of physical fitness in order to feel at ease.

We Germans are so good at penalties because we have had to rebuild our country twice.

We can only win by giving everything and being ready to defeat the adversary with fiery aggression.

You have to work more than your adversary.

The player can only compete with the best internationally when they've committed themselves to this goal. They have to be properly supported until that point.

I had to delegate authority to the people on my staff. That means you shave away the hierarchy.

I think when there's enough will and aggression, there's no shortage of talent either.

We cannot win this World Cup, because we are not at that level yet. For us, we have to play the game of our lives seven times to win the tournament.

I always stressed that I didn't have coaching experience, but that I did have a deadline: June 9.

The young generation has a different curiosity that is more visual.

I do swear a lot, but the advantage is that having played abroad, I can choose a different language from the referee's.

But when your situation is hopeless, all you can do is turn the world upside down, transform it according to your wishes, and create anew.

Look beyond the present circumstances, imagine a brighter future.

Don't rely on good principles to sell an inferior product.

A state of the soul is either (1) an emotion, (2) a capacity, or (3) a disposition; virtue therefore must be one of these three things.

A circle may be small, yet it may be as mathematically beautiful and perfect as a large one.

I love movies with spectacle but spectacle can be a performance, it doesn't have to be a creature.

If I win, it's because of my natural ability and if I lose, it's because I wasn't trying so hard.

Nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free.

All our philosophy is as dry as dust if it is not immediately translated into some act of living service.

We are being ruined by the best efforts of people who are doing the wrong thing.
