Good players create opportunities. The great players and the great people seize them

Somewhere behind the athlete you've become and the hours of practice and the coaches who have pushed you is a little girl who fell in love with the game and never looked back... play for her.

My coach said I ran like a girl, I said if he could run a little faster he could too

Celebrate what you've accomplished, but raise the bar a little higher each time you succeed.

I am a member of a team, and I rely on the team, I defer to it and sacrifice for it, because the team, not the individual, is the ultimate champion.

A winner is that person who gets up one more time than she is knocked down.

Failure happens all the time. It happens every day in practice. What makes you better is how you react to it.

I am building a fire, and everyday I train, I add more fuel. At just the right moment, I light the match.

The vision of a champion is bent over, drenched in sweat, at the point of exhaustion, when nobody else is looking.

I've worked too hard and too long to let anything stand in the way of my goals. I will not let my teammates down and I will not let myself down.

The backbone of success is...hard work, determination, good planning, and perserverence.

Never lose hope. Storms make people stronger and never last forever.

Keep walking on the path of bravery. Keep walking on the path of your passion. Keep walking, and do not stop until you reach your goal.

The world, in spite of oppression, is a beautiful place.

Ultimately life is disease, death and oblivion. It's still better than high school.

I leaned right over to kiss your stoney book A little jealous of the ships with whom you flirt A billion lovers with their cameras Snap to look and in my fantasy I sail beneath your skirt

My religious superstition gave place to rational ideas based on scientific facts, and in proportion as I looked at everything from a new standpoint, I grew more happy day by day.

I'm always surprised to hear or read my work described, "In angry tones, she says." No! In truthful tones! Does truth have a tone? I don't know.

We have to build a better man before we can build a better society.

In our judgment of human transactions, the law of optics is reversed, we see most dimly the objects which are close around us.

Look at this tangle of thorns.
