You always want to win. That is why you play tennis, because you love the sport and try to be the best you can at it.

I always believe if you're stuck in a hole and maybe things aren't going well you will come out stronger. Everything in life is this way.

There is no way around the hard work. Embrace it.

You have to believe in the long term plan you have but you need the short term goals to motivate and inspire you.

I fear no one, but respect everyone.

A man who wins, is a man who thinks he can.

Once you find that peace, that place of peace and quiet, harmony and confidence, that's when you start playing your best.

When you're good at something, make that everything

I am a very positive thinker, and I think that is what helps me the most in difficult moments.

When you do something best in life, you don't really want to give that up - and for me it's tennis.

The one thing you can do for sure is push the luck on your side

Wealth and power and life, all that men build up and guard with such effort, is only worth anything through the joy with which it can all be cast away.

The process of life, towards the whole truth can only be covered, by absolutely dropping yourself. You can only merge into the whole, if you prepare to lose yourself.

Death was like an unpleasant neighbor. You didn’t talk about him for fear he might hear you and decide to pay a visit.

Becoming an author changes your attitude too. Once you see where books come from, and how they're made, they never seem quite as sacred again.

I just want to get the bad guys but if I can’t see them, I can’t shoot them.

Teachers don't work in the summer, and photographers don't shoot in in the middle of the day.

You can fake your way to the table, but ultimately you have to learn how to eat.

Respect is what we owe; love, what we give.

If there were Israeli attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities, it makes it certain there would be a reprisal attack against the United States at some point.

All inventors, they say, are a little mad. I reckon that only completely sane people are willing to admit they are slightly crazy.
