“ Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can.”
“ You have to believe in yourself when no one else does.”
“ From what we get, we can make a living; what we give, however, makes a life.”
“ I don't want to be remembered for my tennis accomplishments.”
“ True heroism is not the urge to surpass all others at whatever cost, but the urge to serve others at whatever cost.”
