More quotes by Pele
Most important is be a good man.
Pele
If you don't give education to people, it is easy to manipulate them.
Pele
To be a striker you need to be in good shape.
Pele
I don't believe there is such a thing as a 'born' soccer player. Perhaps you are born with certain skills and talents, but quite frankly it seems impossible to me that one is actually born to be an ace soccer player
Pele
Great teams are not made up of many well-rounded players. Great teams are made up of a variety of players, each having their own strengths.
Pele
Over the years I've learnt to live with two persons in my heart. One is Edson, who has fun with his friends and family the other is the football player Pele. I didn't want the name. 'Pele' sounds like baby-talk in Portuguese.
Pele
He is the greatest player in the world right now, without a doubt, he is the player who gives Brazilians the most joy. (on Ronaldinho)
Pele
No doubt, I am earning more money with my endorsements than I ever earned playing soccer.
Pele
People always ask me: 'When is the new Pele going to be born?' Never. My father and mother have closed the factory.
Pele
I sometimes lie awake at night and wonder why I am still so popular and, to be honest, I don't know.
Pele
I always think that I would have become an actor if I hadn't been a soccer player.
Pele
Enthusiasm is everything. It must be taut and vibrating like a guitar string.
Pele
A penalty is a cowardly way to score.
Pele
I played futsal growing up in Baurd. In futsal you need to think quick and play quick so its easier for you when you move to normal football.
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
Of course, my father was a soccer player. He used to play very good. Then, when I was young, eight or nine years old, ten years old, I just want to be like my father.
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
Success isn't determined by how many times you win, but by how you play the week after you lose.
Pele
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
Pele
Every kid around the world who plays soccer wants to be Pele. I have a great responsibility to show them not just how to be like a soccer player, but how to be like a man.
Pele
