Grand Slams are funny things. You have to try to find a way to get through the first week and put yourself in a position in the second week. A lot of strange things happen.

That's when you've got to grit your teeth and hang in there and try and find a way to win when you're not playing your best tennis - that's what I can be proud of

Even when I was No. 1 in the world, I was taking it one match at a time. I never was a player to look too far ahead, the way draws can pan out.

When I go out to play, I still believe I'm as good as anyone out there. I don't have to prove anyone wrong. I know what I've done and how well I can play.

When I was a kid in Adelaide, I dreamed of becoming No. 1 in the world, winning a grand slam and the Davis Cup for Australia.

I was lucky enough to win the Davis Cup in my first year in 1999. I won my first slam at the U.S. Open in 2001 and became world No. 1 later that year. By the age of 20, I'd done it all.

I'm not a guy who needs to read motivation books.

I could’ve quit long ago, but there wouldn’t be nothing to quit to, unless I was ready to commit suicide.

The definition of Ar-Rahman: The fact that we only take from Allah and He only gives

At the very core of what a comic is, time and space are kind of the same thing. When your reader moves her eyes across the page, she should be moving through time in your story.

Praise, my soul, the King of Heaven; To his feet thy tribute bring. Ransomed, healed, restored, forgiven, Who like me his praise should sing?

The gospel is a declaration, not a debate.

People ask me if I would shoot and kill people, and I don't think I would.

We must learn to pray out of our weaknesses so that God can become our strength.

In a world of infinite choice people are struggling to figure out what to do.

The more security we have, the less freedom there is; more freedom means less security. You can hardly enough of both at the same time.
