The thing, when you’re down two sets to love, is to stay calm, even though it’s hard, because people are freaking out, people are worried for you.

I always like to do the things that I think are right. I am not trying to be a model, I am trying to be myself and do the right things. If what I am doing is a model, or is an example, is the right example, I am very happy, but I don’t pretend that.

Anyone could become a star, but everyone must be a human being.

I cannot win this year but I can play good on grass

It should not be a child’s only goal to become the best player in the world. That would be a bad, a harmful attitude.

I just wanted to see how the shorts felt again.

The greatest source of happiness is the ability to be grateful at all times.

I read the paper every day and the Bible every day; that way I know what both sides are up to.

Better an ‘oops’ than a ‘what if’.

The secret of joy in work is contained in one word: excellence. To know how to do something well is to enjoy it.

Projecting your mind into a successful situation is the most powerful means to achieve goals.

No matter where you are in life, you’ll save a lot of time by not worrying too much about what other people think about you. The earlier in your life that you can learn that, the easier the rest of it will be.

You cannot climb the ladder of success dressed in the costume of failure.

What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals.

The very best thing you can do for the whole world is to make the most of yourself.

Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.

Think BIG! You are going to be thinking anyway, so think BIG!

Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going.

It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all-in which case, you fail by default.

I’ve seen more people fail because of liquor and leverage – leverage being borrowed money. You really don’t need leverage in this world much. If you’re smart, you’re going to make a lot of money without borrowing.

I’d be foolish not to take some of these opportunities that are coming my way.
