Lots of times I was out through forcing the game.

Still, I believe it is only a passing phase and cricket will one day produce an abundance of great players.

It is amazing how the public steadfastly refuse to attend the third day of a match when so often the last day produces the best and most exciting cricket.

We always had to play the game and play for the team. It is a Kent tradition.

It was never a policy of the Kent team that the pitch must be occupied all day after winning the toss.

I don't think I ever worked harder at any match during my career to get runs as I did then, nor did I ever have to face in one game such consistently fast bowlers as the Australian pair, Gregory and McDonald.

Square cuts which ordinarily would have flashed to the boundary earned only two, and I believe that those two innings would have been worth 150 apiece in a county match.

I was not depressed when they got me out. I have always taken my dismissals as part of the game.

In the old days we were probably educated in cricket in a far more serious way than now.

Those were the great days when plenty of amateurs could spare time for cricket.

I cannot let this opportunity pass without placing on record how much I have enjoyed my cricket with Kent.

Lots of times I was out through forcing the game.

Americans are always mortified when I tell them this, but in England, it's a tradition to put your plaques and photographs and awards and gold records and stuff in your bathroom. I don't know why.

I've never really had any barrier to break I guess. I don't really have anything to rebel against. I'm quite lucky.

I don't lie very well!

I think if I hadn't been a writer, I'd have been a teacher like my dad. He was a college professor, and one of my greatest regrets is that he passed away before I was able to prove to him that I wasn't going to be stuck working at Rax Roast Beef for the rest of my life!

I would not be here now if I did not have anti-depressants.

The bottom line: if you want a happier family, create, refine and retell the story of your family's positive moments and your ability to bounce back from the difficult ones. That act alone may increase the odds that your family will thrive for many generations to come.

Country music is worldwide - it's not just Nashville and Texas.

Conservatives have always wanted border security before we had immigration reform.

Power, that's one thing, but love of family and of siblings is more important, is more powerful than any other power - at least earthly power, at least earthly power.

Everyone loves Beyonce. If you don't love Beyonce, we can't talk.

You need to take care of your time and practice, you need to rest and talk to media. So it's really important to organize those things.

Compassion doesn't, of course, mean feeling sorry for people, or pity, which is how the word has become emasculated in a way.

I love movies.

I had a very active imagination as a kid, and I was constantly performing, whether I was making money doing it or not, whether it was on a stage in front of 1,000 people or in the living room in front of my family.

Fortune brings in some boats that are not steered.

What you wear in the evening is important for women because it's so personal, and it's so complicated to get it right. I like trousers for evening, especially when they have that width and attitude to them.

The war on terror, if this is a war on terror, can only be won by a sincere regional and international cooperation. All have to believe they have something at stake and work together. In the absence of this it will become political and interest-oriented.

I do love doing action, but if I can balance the scale by doing other kinds of films that satisfy my creative ambitions, that feels really important.

Of all duties, prayer certainly is the sweetest and most easy.

My dad was a musician who went to Berklee, and he made me learn piano when I was five.

I think that human beings, even the ones who are sometimes hurting you, are often very, very confused at their center.

You have to be yourself.

My head has got regrets, but I haven't.

Contemplate sweetly on love and the wisdom of God shall find you.
