There is only one thing that remains to us, that cannot be taken away: to act with courage and dignity and to stick to the ideals that have given meaning to life.

Citizenship consists in the service of the country.

Life is like a game of cards. The hand you are dealt is determinism; the way you play it is free will.

The only alternative to coexistence is codestruction.

Restraint does not mean weakness. It does not mean giving in.

No country or people who are slaves to dogma and dogmatic mentality can progress.

That great lover of peace, a man of giant stature who moulded, as few other men have done, the destinies of his age.

Unity must be of the mind and heart, a sense of belonging together and of facing together those who attack it.

Where freedom is menaced or justice threatened or where aggression takes place, we cannot be and shall not be neutral.

You can’t get bored of winning. You can win 10 games in a row but you keep the same will to snatch the 11th. You always need more.

It doesn’t need to be the same every day, doesn’t need to be the same shower I use, the same restaurant I go to, the same hour I go to sleep. I’ve always been very flexible. I don’t care if I practice at nine in the morning or 10 P.M.

But one thing you need to do in the game, is to adapt and adjust your game to what you have been asked to do and also to what your body is telling you to do.

I definitely need to use my chances when they come because definitely there wont be many.
