The people who stand on the sidelines and criticize aren't actually in the arena, spilling their blood.
We can either watch life from the sidelines, or actively participate. . . Either we let self-doubt and feelings of inadequacy prevent us from realising our potential, or embrace the fact that when we turn our attention away from ourselves, our potential is limitless.
Sometimes when people get success they forget about the people that pointed them there or championed them into this position. I pride myself on really understanding. I wouldn't even call it keeping it real. I just call it keeping it me. When they tell me, "You're doing what you're supposed to do," it makes me go ten times even harder, because I know that there are people on the sidelines and they're watching me. They're cheering for me. I want to be the best me I could possibly be when it comes to them.
I think the future also will not belong to those who are cynical or those who stand on the sidelines
What this country needs is more people to inspire others with confidence, and fewer people to discourage any initiative in the right direction more to get into the thick of things, fewer to sit on the sidelines, merely finding fault more to point out what's right with the world, and fewer to keep harping on what's wrong with it and more who are interested in lighting candles, and fewer who blow them out.
The sidelines are not where you want to live your life. The world needs you in the arena!
I always want to win because I never want to sit out on the sidelines outside.
There is a point in every contest when sitting on the sidelines is not an option.
No one gets to the top, if they sit on the sidelines, or if they don't believe in themselves.
The left understands the media. The left wields it, and the right sits on the sidelines and complains.
Michelle Tafoya - best NFL sideline reporter - period. She is always prepared and professional.
Vladimir Putin uses fascist propaganda to do so. From Ukraine to Syria, he is behaving like the world's new general and celebrating victories, while the American president sits on the sidelines and Europe sleeps. The West's behavior toward Putin is political and moral capitulation.
I like using one QB. If we have two that are relatively equal, then we can't afford to have one on the bench. They need to be on the field at running back, receiver or defensive back. I'm not going to waste an athlete on the sidelines.
I remember hating New Kids on the Block from the sidelines because all of the girls loved them. They would just fawn over them. Oh my gosh, Joey I love you! When I was younger, I really couldnt stand them.
I was a sidelines child: never class president, never team captain, never the one with the most valentines in my box.
Non-violence should be a tactic - not an ideology preached from the sidelines to victims of massive violence.
As the world's largest economy and second-largest carbon emitter, as a country with unsurpassed ability to drive innovation and scientific breakthroughs, as the country that people around the world continue to look to in times of crisis, we've got a vital role to play. We can't stand on the sidelines. We've got a unique responsibility.
My idea of a good hit is when the victim wakes up on the sidelines with train whistles blowing in his head. . . I like to believe that my best hits border on felonious assault.
Look, you couldn’t pay me to listen to their music, but I still feel like I have more in common with Insane Clown Posse than I do with someone who just sits on the sidelines and shits on other people’s work and who never puts themselves on the line.
My all-time favorite interception was picking off Peyton Manning back in 2007, the one-hander down the sideline.
