Can't remember who, but not him. Sadi someone. Might not even be 13th Century. I'll look it up later.
So, it seems that this has been mistakenly attributed to many people - Helen Keller, Mahatma Gandhi, and Shakespeare amongst others - but the first recorded example was Saadi Shirazi who, in between churning out bottles of red wine for Tesco was known for a few philosophical scribblings. His original was a bit more verbose, but has been distilled down, through various repeats, to the basic "I cried because I had no shoes, until I met a man who had no feet". The glaringly obvious travesty of it being used by someone like Zidane, is that it's spoken by a poor man who realises there are those worse off than he, and Zidane clearly doesn't belong in that category.
“I could not take the job because I love Chelsea supporters too much. I’m Chelsea.” - March 2015, when asked about Tottenham trying to hire him in 2007. Jose Mourinho
"We already know how good, for example, Wolves are. The tactics they have, the players they have and the manager is fantastic. "What we try to do is to prepare very well and we already know it's going to be a very tough game. It makes it easier to prepare when you know it's going to be tough, when you know there are going to be difficult moments." Virgil van Dijk
