I won 1,098 games, and eight national championships, and coached in four different decades. But what I see are not the numbers. I see their faces.
Pat Summitt
I accumulated 1,098 victories, and eight national titles, and I coached in four separate decades. But what I recall are not the figures. I recall their countenances.

When i started flirting with the hustle, failure became my ex, now I'm engaged to the game and married to success.

When I embraced the hustle, failure became a distant memory, and now I'm devoted to the game and wedded to accomplishment.

We're all in the same game, just different levels. Dealing with the same hell, just different devils.

Life is like a game, there could be many players. If you don't play with them, they'll play with you.
Adolf Hitler
'Life is a competition, many contenders. If you don't contend with them, they'll compete against you.'

Class is more important than a game.
Pat Summitt
Education overrides amusement.
11.
Success isn't owned - it's leased. And rent is due every day. Every single day, someone's coming for your job. Someone's coming for your greatness. If you're the greatest, someone wants to be the greatest, and so if you're not constantly improving your game, somebody else is.
J. J. Watt
12.
My faith is not identified by my title. My faith is identified by how I live. Wearing the uniform is not the same as playing the game.
LeCrae
My trust is not determined by my moniker. My assurance is shown through my actions. Donning the outfit is not equal to engaging in the contest.
13.
Golf is the closest game to the game we call life. You get bad breaks from good shots; you get good breaks from bad shots - but you have to play the ball where it lies.
Bobby Jones
Golf is the analog of life. Fortune may favour you or be unkind, yet you must accept your circumstances and make the best of it.
14.
I want to keep improving, continue to help my teammates improve, make my teammates look good. Continue bringing something new to the game, never getting completely content and always trying to get better.
Alex Morgan

And the seasons they go 'round and 'round And the painted ponies go up and down We're captive on the carousel of time We can't return we can only look behind From where we came And go round and round and round In the circle game.
Joni Mitchell
16.
It's time for Black people to stop playing the separating game of geography, of where the slave ship put us down. We must concentrate on where the slave ship picked us up.
John Henrik Clarke
It is time for African Americans to cease fostering divisions based on geographical origin from the slave trade and instead focus on our shared cultural heritage.

Basketball isn't a game; It's an art form. You master the fundamentals so you can forget 'em, so you can improvise and just concentrate on what really matters: getting buckets.
Kyrie Irving
Hoops isn't a competition; It's an expression. You become proficient in the basics so you can disregard them, so you can innovate and solely focus on what counts: scoring points.
18.
Today, the top one-tenth of 1% owns nearly as much wealth as the bottom 90%. The economic game is rigged, and this level of inequality is unsustainable. We need an economy that works for all, not just the powerful.
Bernie Sanders

Philly gave me my ambition and drive to get more. It's a reminder to stay on top of my game. That's not a place I want to go back to.
Meek Mill
Philly instilled in me the motivation and determination to succeed. It's a constant reminder to strive for excellence. That's somewhere I never want to revisit.
20.
Democracy is a con game. It’s a word invented to placate people to make them accept a given institution. All institutions sing, ‘We are free.’ The minute you hear ‘freedom’ and ‘democracy’, watch out… because in a truly free nation, no one has to tell you you’re free.
Jacque Fresco
21.
It represents a Bible verse I wear on my shoe. Philippians 4:13. It says 'I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.' It's also my mantra, how I get up for games and why I play the way I do.
Stephen Curry

On my business card, I am a corporate president. In my mind, I am a game developer. But in my heart, I am a gamer.
Satoru Iwata
On my business card, I am a corporate head. In my mind, I am a video game creator. But in my soul, I am a player.
23.
If you do not trust life to unfold, the mind takes over and it becomes a game of strategy, motivated by anxiety. This mistrust is unfair. Life has given us so much, and yet we do not trust it.
Mooji
If you do not believe in the natural progression of events, the brain assumes control and it turns into a plan of action, driven by uneasiness. This lack of faith is unjust. Life has provided us with such an abundance, yet we still doubt it.

If the game shakes me or breaks me, I hope it makes me a better man.
The Notorious B.I.G.
If the game tests me or defeats me, I wish it strengthens me as a person.

Every maker of video games knows something that the makers of curriculum don't seem to understand. You'll never see a video game being advertised as being easy. Kids who do not like school will tell you it's not because it's too hard. It's because it's--boring
Seymour Papert
28.
I'm not the sort of person who poses in their underwear. I hate the red carpet. I prefer the green grass. After the games the highlights show mostly the goals, scoring chances, assists. The spectator tends not to remember that as a goalkeeper I make difficult saves at great risk and start moves with my efforts.
Manuel Neuer
29.
Most people get excited about games, but I've got to be excited about practice, because that's my classroom.
Pat Summitt
The majority of folks experience exhilaration when it comes to playing games, but I must foster enthusiasm for practice as that is my learning environment.

Don't just play on your phone, program it.
Barack Obama
Don't just purchase a fresh video game, create one. Don't just get the newest app, aid in its formation. Don't just use your phone, write code for it.

The most important measure of how good a game I played was how much better I’d made my teammates play.
Bill Russell
The greatest determinant of my success in a game was how much I had enhanced the performance of my teammates.
33.
In my games I have sometimes found a combination intuitively simply feeling that it must be there. Yet I was not able to translate my thought processes into normal human language.
Mikhail Tal
"In my gaming, I have on occasion uncovered a pattern by an instinctive perception that it was latent. Nevertheless, I was unable to articulate the mental steps taken in a manner comprehensible to ordinary people."
34.
I am not afraid of anybody. This is a tough game. You can't be intimidated. You can't be frightened. And as far as I'm concerned, the Tea Party can go straight to hell.
Maxine Waters
I am not intimidated by anyone. This is a rigorous challenge. You must not be cowed. You must not be terrified. And, in my opinion, the Tea Party can go to perdition.
35.
I play every game like it's my last game. All that matters is that you go out there and play every game as if it was your last.
Allen Iverson
'I approach every game as if it were my swan song. All that matters is that you give your all each and every time.'

Codes are a puzzle. A game, just like any other game.
Alan Turing
Codes are a conundrum. A challenge, just like any other contest.
37.
A team is not made up of isolated individuals. Always stay in the game. Don't be passive. Football is a team game. No one plays alone. Success depends on your whole team being a single unit.
Pele
A collective is not comprised of disparate persons. Remain engaged. Don't be inert. Soccer is a squad sport. Nobody performs solo. Triumph hinges on your whole squad being a unified entity.
38.
Football is about joy. It's about dribbling. I favour every idea that makes the game beautiful. Every good idea has to last.
Ronaldinho
Soccer is about elation. It's about ball control. I endorse every concept that makes the sport delightful. Every positive notion must endure.
39.
You don’t get better on the days when you feel like going. You get better on the days when you don’t want to go, but you go anyway. If you can overcome the negative energy coming from your tired body or unmotivated mind, you will grow and become better. It won’t be the best workout you have, you won’t accomplish as much as what you usually do when you actually feel good, but that doesn’t matter. Growth is a long term game, and the crappy days are more important.
Georges St-Pierre
40.
To be true to myself, to be the person that was on the inside of me, and not play games. That's what I'm trying to do mostly in the whole world, is not bullshit myself and not bullshit anybody else.
Janis Joplin
Stay honest with myself and be the genuine person I am, not pretending to be someone else. That is my primary goal in life: to remain sincere and not mislead anyone.
41.
TURN ON. to contact the ancient energies and wisdoms that are built into your nervous system. They provide unspeakable pleasure and revelation. TUNE IN. to harness and communicate these new perspectives in a harmonious dance with the external world. DROP OUT. detach yourself from the tribal game. current models of social adjustement - mechanized, computerized, socialized, intellectualized, televised, sanforized - make no sense to the new LSD generation who see clearly that American society is becoming an air-conditioned anthill.
Timothy Leary
42.
Like life, basketball is messy and unpredictable. It has its way with you, no matter how hard you try to control it. The trick is to experience each moment with a clear mind and open heart. When you do that, the game - and life - will take care of itself.
Phil Jackson
43.
You don't go into the game to compete. You go into each game to win.
Cam Newton
'Entering the game is not to partake in rivalry. You go in with the intent to triumph.'
44.
Your graciousness is what carries you. It isn't how old you are, how young you are, how beautiful you are, or how short your skirt is. What it is, is what comes out of your heart. If you are gracious, you have won the game.
Stevie Nicks
45.
It's funny, but many people don't understand why I draw so many games nowadays. They think my style must have changed but this is not the case at all. The answer to this drawing disease is that my favorite squares are e6, f7, g7 and h7 and everyone now knows this. They protect these squares not once but four times!
Mikhail Tal
46.
I'll tell you what's helped me my entire life. I look at baseball as a game. It's something where people can go out, enjoy and have fun. Nothing more.
Harry Caray
I have always found solace in baseball; it is an activity where people can relax, take pleasure in, and be merry.

Life's a game made for everyone, and love is the prize.
Avicii
Life is a journey with love as the reward.
49.
The most important rule is to play great defense, not great offense. Everyday I assume every position I have is wrong. I know where my stop risk points are going to be. I do that so I can define my maximum drawdown. Hopefully, I spend the rest of the day enjoying positions that are going in my direction. If they are going against me, then I have a game plan for getting out.
Paul Tudor Jones

Play the game, never let the game play you.
Tupac Shakur
