I was just tired of losing... Life was passing me by.

I really think a champion is defined not by their wins but by how they can recover when they fall

The success of every woman should be the inspiration to another. We should raise each other up. Make sure you're very courageous: be strong, be extremely kind, and above all be humble.

I am lucky that whatever fear I have inside me, my desire to win is always stronger.

Luck has nothing to do with it, because I have spent many, many hours, countless hours, on the court working for my one moment in time, not knowing when it would come.

We're sisters, we're roommates, we're all that.

I don't like to lose-at anything... Yet I've grown most not from victories, but setbacks. If winning is God's reward, then losing is how he teaches us.

Everyone's dream can come true if you just stick to it and work hard.

You have to believe in yourself when no one else does.

I always believe I can beat the best, achieve the best. I always see myself in the top position.

Think of all the girls who could become top athletes but quit sports because they're afraid of having too many defined muscles and being made fun of or called unattractive.

In politics, stupidity is not a handicap.

People are fascinated by space flight. It makes them interested in science, gets them asking questions and motivates them.

The way people in democracies think of the government as something different from themselves is a real handicap. And, of course, sometimes the government confirms their opinion.

If the love of God really reigns in your heart, it will show itself in the exterior.

You become about as exciting as your food blender. The kids come in, look you in the eye, and ask if anybody's home.

Important families are like potatoes. The best parts are underground.

Perfect harmony of body and mind are my key to personal balance and happiness.

And no answer when we sent our message. Something like, "Hello, welcome to Earth. Hope you enjoy your stay. Please don't kill us.

It's just, it's fun to stay in the game.

Living most of the time in a world created mostly in one's head, does not make for an easy passage in the real world.
