  • We have not made cricket and football [soccer] professional because of any astonishing avarice or new vulgarity. We have made them professional because we would have them perfect.

It is because they know that whatever place they have taken a ticket for that place they will reach.

Being a conscious life, he is, or may be, valuable in himself.
