Let's face it. Umpiring is not an easy or happy way to make a living. In the abuse they suffer, and the pay they get for it, you see an imbalance that can only be explained by their need to stay close to a game they can't resist. Bob Uecker
Life is a difficult game. You can win it only by retaining your birthright to be a person. Abdul kalam
Life is a song - sing it. Life is a game - play it. Life is a challenge - meet it. Life is a dream - realize it. Life is a sacrifice - offer it. Life is love - enjoy it. Sai baba
Life is like a game of cards. The hand you are dealt is determinism; the way you play it is free will. Jawaharlal nehru
Look at this, scabs and cuts all over me, I get these every night, every game. They can't tell you that you're not at risk, and you can't tell me there's one guy in the N.B.A. who hasn't thought about it. Karl Malone
Losses have propelled me to even bigger places, so I understand the importance of losing. You can never get complacent because a loss is always around the corner. It's in any game that you're in - a business game or whatever - you can't get complacent.Venus Williams
Maybe I've lost a little, but I think everyone does over time. People have been writing that I'm getting old every year, and eventually they're going to be right. There's nobody in this game that's doing the same things they once did in the peak years of their career. Randy Johnson
Maybe that's some of the reason I feel so good today. Maybe I finally realised that it's just a game. David Duval

Most players who play tennis love the game. But I think you also have to respect it. You want to do everything you can in your power to do your best.

Andy Roddick

My brother was a huge Charles Barkley fan - my brother went to Miami. He played power forward, and he always used to tell me stories about Barkley and college. And I watched Barkley growing up. I loved what he brought to the game. His toughness and just his attitude, being as strong he was. Paul Pierce
My desire to exit the game is greater than my desire to remain in it. I have searched my heart through and through and feel comfortable with this decision. Barry Sanders
My explosiveness, I really couldn't show it at UCLA. It's still there. It's always been there. It was not a lot of running. It was a half-court game. Coach Howland came from the Big East, and so you know that's a grind out game. Shabazz Muhammad
