Arthur Ashe
» Appearance » “Regardless of how you feel inside, always try to look like a winner. Even if you are behind, a sustained look of control and confidence can give you a mental edge that results in victory.”
» Complaints and Complaining » “If I were to say, ”God, why me?” about the bad things, then I should have said, ”God, why me?” about the good things that happened in my life.”
» Fear » “Every time you win, it diminishes the fear a little bit. You never really cancel the fear of losing; you keep challenging it.”
» Giving » “From what we get, we can make a living; what we give, however, makes a life.”
» Self-confidence » “One important key to success is self-confidence. An important key to self-confidence is preparation.”
» Sports » “There is a syndrome in sports called ”paralysis by analysis.””
» Success » “Success is a journey not a destination. The doing is usually more important than the outcome. Not everyone can be Number 1.”
» Winners and Winning » “You’ve got to get to the stage in life where going for it is more important than winning or losing.”
