"You come to realize that life is..." - Quote by Arthur Ashe

“Racism is not an excuse to not do the best you can.”

“There is a syndrome in sports called 'paralysis by analysis.'”

“I accepted the face that as much as I want to lead others, and love to be around other people, in some essential way, I am something of a loner.”

“I was looking for something to love, for I was in love with loving, and I hated security and a smooth way, free from snares.”

“Still, the sun was hot. Still, one got over things. Still, life had a way of adding day to day”

“If you're not living life on the edge, you're taking up too much space.The best way to predict the future is to create it.”

“Those who know others are intelligent Those who know themselves have insight. Those who master others have force Those who master themselves have strength.Those who know what is enough are wealthy. Those who persevere have direction. Those who maintain their position endure. And those who die and yet do not perish, live on.”

“Only the gentle are ever really strong.”

“The weak can never forgive.”
