It feel like winning the cup final, if that's what it feels like
If at first you don't succeed, have a cup of tea.
There have been times when I've reflected on my international career and just thought: 'Well that was a massive waste of time. ' Sorry for sounding sour, but my best mate, David Beckham, got butchered after the World Cup in 1998, then my brother, Phil, after Euro 2000.
My dad was so influential in my career. It was a fulfillment of every athlete's dream. I dreamed about it as a kid. We played hockey in the backyard. We had silver buckets we carried around like the Stanley Cup. It was everything that you would hope.
we do not die of anguish, we live on. We continue to suffer. We drink the cup drop by drop.
Those who don't feel this love pulling them like a river, those who don't drink dawn like a cup of springwater or take in sunset like a supper, those who don't want to change, let them sleep.
Concentrate on hitting the green. The cup will come to you.
The World Cup is a very complicated tournament - six games, seven if you make it to the final - and maybe if you lose one game you're out, even if you're the best.
When you wash your hands, when you make a cup of coffee, when you're waiting for the elevator - instead of indulging in thinking, these are all opportunities for being there as a still, alert presence.
Then is Love blest, when from the cup of the body he drinks the wine of the soul.
