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.

More quotes by Pele
I want to do my best to make the people happy. I play with my heart for the sport.
Pele
You must respect people and work hard to be in shape. And I used to train very hard. When the others players went to the beach after training, I was there kicking the ball.
Pele
I think that France, Germany, Spain, Holland and England will join Brazil in the semi-finals.
Pele
Sport is something that is very inspirational for young people.
Pele
When I was playing, they said soccer was a man's world and women should remain on the sidelines, all I can say is I'm glad I never had to go up against Mia Hamm
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
George Best was the greatest player in the world.
Pele
A team is not made up of isolated individuals. Always stay in the game. Don't be passive. Football is a team game. No one plays alone. Success depends on your whole team being a single unit.
Pele
Most important is be a good man.
Pele
If you ever want to be a decent player, you have to be able to use both feet without stopping to think about it.
Pele
Enthusiasm is everything. It must be taut and vibrating like a guitar string.
Pele
His left foot is fantastic. It's like Mozart. God gave Freddy the gift to play soccer. If he is prepared mentally and physically, nobody will stop him. (on Freddy Adu)
Pele
Yes, Ronaldinho is bigger than me. Exactly 4 centimeters.
Pele
I always think that I would have become an actor if I hadn't been a soccer player.
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
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
No doubt, I am earning more money with my endorsements than I ever earned playing soccer.
Pele
Football is the best, is the biggest sport in the world.
Pele
The World Cup is a very complicated tournament - six games, seven if you make it to the final - and maybe if you lose one game you're out, even if you're the best.
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
