Everybody's got their problems. The important thing is not to complain about it.

Some people say I have attitude - maybe I do... but I think you have to. You have to believe in yourself when no one else does - that makes you a winner right there.

I don't focus on what I'm up against. I focus on my goals and I try to ignore the rest.

Just believe in yourself. Even if you don't, pretend that you do and, at some point, you will.

My motto is: I'm alive, so that means I can do anything.

In my mind, I'm always the best. If I walk out on the court (and) I think the next person is better, I've already lost.

Of course, I want to be number one. But being happy and healthy is the most important thing.

Tennis is mostly mental. Of course, you must have a lot of physical skill, but you can't play tennis well and not be a good thinker. You win or lose the match before you even go out there.

When you lose, you're more motivated. When you win, you fail to see your mistakes and probably no one can tell you anything.

In the sports arena I would say there is nothing like training and preparation. You have to train your mind as much as your body.

If I cared deeply about what people thought of me, I probably would have never made it out of Compton, California.

Being dynamic doesn’t necessarily mean you live an effective life

The home of every soul is not among another's glory, but should be within another's soul.

Sometimes mortals can be more horrible than monsters.

A relax soul is a sacred-being.

What good was speaking when I'd determined none of the world listened to one another, especially not when a woman was speaking.

If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.

When it came to formal classes, I was a slacker. But I've always been a diligent autodidact and can teach myself virtually any subject if I have a serious interest in it.

The Church exists by mission, just as a fire exists by burning.

moments bleed together, no span to time

It's easy to dislike the few senior women out there. What if women were half the positions in power? It would be harder to dislike all of them.
