"I know I could never forgive myself..." - Quote by Arthur Ashe

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

“You learn about equality in history and civics, but you find out life is not really like that.”

“Let me put it this way: I think Republicans tend to keep the ball in play, Democrats go for broke.”

“It's not enough to have lived. We should be determined to live for something. May I suggest that it be creating joy for others, sharing what we have for the betterment of personkind, bringing hope to the lost and love to the lonely.”

“I got addicted to lighting people up, just seeing people so happy 'cause they rediscovered what they're capable of and so that became my life's work.”

“We have to steer our true life’s course. Whatever your calling is in life! The whole purpose of being here is to figure out what that is as soon as possible, so you go about the business of being on track, of not being owned by what your mother said, what society said, whatever people think a woman is supposed to be when you can exceed other people’s expectations and be defined by your own!”

“I want to be remembered as a great friend, an outstanding father, an amazing husband, and a good soul who always strived to serve God and man. And during that time of service on earth, I would like people to think, "He brought joy, love, opportunity, and fulfillment to millions of people."”

“Down in their hearts, wise men know this truth: the only way to help yourself is to help others.”

“Everyone has an opportunity to be great because everyone has an opportunity to serve.”
