Pele

The more difficult the victory, the greater the happiness in winning.

Success is no accident. It is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice and most of all, love of what you are doing or learning to do.

Everything is practice.

A team is not a one-man show. There's 11 of us out there.

I was born to play football, just like Beethoven was born to write music and Michelangelo was born to paint.

When you are in the game, you are in the game.

Enthusiasm is everything. It must be taut and vibrating like a guitar string.

The greatest penalty in life is not being able to learn from others.

I learned all about life with a ball at my feet.

The World Cup is a very important way to show the world what Brazil is.

Football is the only life I know.

I always had a philosophy: that one day I would be part of a team that would be world champions.

I don't think I am a celebrity. I am just a football player.

If you don't know where you are going, any road will get you there.

When you score a goal, you feel like you are in heaven.

I am a man of peace.

I have to be honest. I still don't know how to play the guitar.

I am a Brazilian. I am a Catholic. I am a football player.

I don't believe in luck. I believe in hard work.

I was very lucky. I had the opportunity to play with some great players.
