It is a big adjustment but I've always loved that old saying of Jack Nicklaus: 'I retired from golf to go to work.' That sums it up for me.

It's about you. If you win, it's you; if you lose, it's you. Black and white. Nowhere to hide.

The downside isn't really injury, fear of injury or the process of fighting back from injury. The downside, the very worst thing in the world, is surgery.

You win any which way you can. You do what you have to do to get by. That's the way it works in any job.

Basically, it's just fatigue, ... I've run out of gas a little bit. I've played a lot this summer, and the body's just telling me I'm fatigued.

I'm really looking forward to getting back and winning some matches but I'm not thinking about the U.S. Open yet, just getting through my first match.

If I stay healthy and I'm playing good tennis I have as good a chance as anybody.

I don't read all the newspapers.

My biggest problem will be lack of match toughness but I am a positive, optimistic person.

When you're young, you don't know what you don't know, so it's easier to get into that magical thing.

The law is a horrible business.

Good leaders must know how to reward those who succeed and know when to retrain, move, or fire ineffective staff.

Freedom requires guns.

People try to live their lives without consequences and end up living lives of no consequence.

The break would never come as long as fear could turn to wrath.

Goals are only important if they win games

Important people are much more interesting when they are drunk and seem much more like human beings.

You know, there's nobody where I've said, 'Man, I really want that guy's career.' I mean, each of us has to make our own go of it.

We need to elect leaders who understand that leadership is about loving and serving people, not about self-advancement.
