"Having grown up in a segregated environment..." - Quote by Arthur Ashe

“I'm learning to use others' weaknesses. I don't hammer a man's soft spot constantly, because he may strengthen it. I just save it as a trump up my sleeve for moments when I really need a point.”

“I have tried to keep on with my striving because this is the only hope I have of ever achieving anything worthwhile and lasting.”

“From what we get, we can make a living; what we give, however, makes a life.”

“Every knock is a boost.”

“I function better when things are going badly than when they're as smooth as whipped cream.”

“People don't really know whether they are committed to something until they face adversity.”

“He turns all of his injuries into strengths, that which does not kill him makes him stronger, he is superman.”

“Defeat is simply a signal to press onward.”

“Honour belongs to those who never forsake the truth even when things seem dark and grim, who try over and over again, who are never discouraged by insults, humiliation and even defeat.”
