Barry Sanders Quotes

Life doesn’t stop with football, Picture Quote #1

My mother was a huge influence on me. She was a living example of what a Christian should be. Her conviction, her discipline. She would rather see other people happy than herself Picture Quote #1

I quit because I didn’t feel like the Detroit Lions had a chance to win. It just killed my enjoyment of the game Picture Quote #1

Shortly after the end of last season, I felt that I probably would not return for the 1999-2000 season. I also felt that I should take as much time as possible to sort through my feelings and make sure that my feelings were backed with conviction Picture Quote #1

According to the United Nations’ latest count, of the approximately 3,000 languages spoken in the world today, only some 78 have a literature. Of those 78, a scant five or six enjoy a truly international audience Picture Quote #1

Happiness does not come from football awards. It’s terrible to correlate happiness with football. Happiness comes from a good job, being able to feed your wife and kids. I don’t dream football, I dream the American dream - two cars in a garage, be a happy father Picture Quote #1

I’m from Kansas, so there were a lot of vacant lots and open fields to tackle each other in so we could avoid tackling each other on the street. But running on the street and trying not to get taken down on the concrete, that will make you fast, that’s for sure Picture Quote #1

It’s probably similar to being in New York City and having a cab driver behind you and you’re driving too slow. It’s not the most pleasant thing Picture Quote #1

I’m a Jewish boy from Jersey. I was born with a strong sense of right and wrong, and a strong sense that the world can be a ludicrous, unfair, inhumane place Picture Quote #1

I don’t dream football. I dream the American Dream - two cars in a garage, be a happy father Picture Quote #1

As a kid, I played my share of football in the street or in a vacant lot. When we were playing in the street, it was more touch football, so we didn’t hit each other into cars Picture Quote #1

I didn’t know exactly what I wanted to do in school, but I definitely didn’t have adequate time to reach my full potential as a student Picture Quote #1

Let’s just win it and go home Picture Quote #1

Running back was always my favorite position Picture Quote #1
