James Herriot Quotes

I keep living life as it's dealt to me. Sometimes, it's not dealt 100 percent. Sometimes it's dealt on the low '30s.

Life doesn't care about your vision. Stuff happens, and you've just got to deal with it. You roll with it; that's the beauty of it all.

Nothing ever goes to plan. As soon as you are OK with that, everything is much easier.

I mistrust total competence. I've always felt life is a series of small disasters we try to get through.

It's life. You don't figure it out. You just climb up on the beast and ride.

You can't control everything that comes to you.

Going by my past journey, I am not certain where life will take me, what turns and twists will happen; nobody knows where they will end up. As life changes direction, I'll flow with it.

I don't expect the sun to be always shining, or even want that to happen.

Just true to form with life sometimes - what you're trying to do doesn't necessarily work out, but what ends up happening can be a lot better. I just relax and say whatever is going to happen - happens.

What you've got to do is recognize that you don't control everything for a start, you've got to play the cards you're dealt, the hand of cards you're dealt, as best you can, and that's what I always seek to do.

I surrender the idea of having some kind of control over the arc of my career a lot of the time because you never know what tomorrow's going to bring.

Life never works out the way you think it will. But you just have to deal with it.

Life throws some curveballs at you and you go where it takes you.

Just, you never know what the next day is going to bring. That goes for football, goes for off the field, and I gave up a long time ago trying to predict the future and trying to deal with things I couldn't deal with.

If you put yourself in a situation of unpredictability and then find that it's completely possible to accept it, then you become an observer.

Life's short. Anything could happen, and it usually does, so there is no point in sitting around thinking about all the ifs, ands and buts.

My life is so full of surprises, nothing surprises me any more.

No matter what you thought your plans were, that's not how things are going to work out, and that's the only way you can really, I think, live successfully.

Just understand that there's going to be some ups, there's going to be some downs.

Not every year is going to be the same and you just kind of have to just roll with the punches.

Life can't be always be stable always right. There are things which are out of your control.

So many things in sports are out of your control, so I really don't look too far ahead.

I have no control of life. I have to prepare myself for any situation.

Life is all about the unexpected.

Sometimes things don't happen in the way you want it to. But that's sport.
