Pele
Everything on earth is a game. A passing thing. We all end up dead. We all end up the same, don't we?
Pele
Enthusiasm is everything. It must be taut and vibrating like a guitar string.
Pele
When football stars disappear, so do the teams, and that is a very curious phenomenon. It is like in the theatre, in a play, where there is a great star. If the star is not well, the whole cast suffers.
Pele
Everything is practice.
Pele
I want to do my best to make the people happy. I play with my heart for the sport.
Pele
I love people. I wanted to be with the people. I wanted to give something back what I get from football, because God gave everything to me.
Pele
Brazil is crazy about football. People, they wait for this moment, but this doesn't mean we are going to win the championship. That is the problem.
Pele
