“My philosophy? Practice, practice, practice and win.”

Before I was ever in my teens, I knew exactly what I wanted to be when I grew up. My goal was to be the greatest athlete that ever lived.

It’s even harder to stay at the top in sports than it is to get there.

Luck? Sure. But only after long practice and only with the ability to think under pressure.

Don’t worry. Just leave everything in the hands of God.

The more you practice, the better. But in any case, practice more than you play.

You know when there’s a star, like in show business, the star has her name in lights on the marquee! Right? And the star gets themoney because the people come to see the star, right? Well, I’m the star, and all of you are in the chorus.

The formula for success is simple: practice and concentration then more practice and more concentration.

I can beat any two players in this tournament by myself. If I need any help, I’ll let you know.

There are times when a golfer is tempted to throw her clubs away and forget the whole ‘humblin’ business.’ At other times, she wouldn’t trade places with a queen-that’s when the shots are long and true, and putts are dropping.

The Babe is here. Who’s coming in second?

I couldn’t hit an elephant’s ass with a bull fiddle.

Study the rules so that you won’t beat yourself by not knowing something.

I came out to beat everybody in sight, and that’s just what I’m going to do.

I don’t seem able to do my best unless I’m behind or in trouble.

They say golf came easy to me because I was a good athlete, but there’s not any girl on the LPGA Tour who worked near as hard as I did in golf. It’s the toughest game I ever tackled.

It’s not just enough to swing at the ball. You’ve got to loosen your girdle and really let the ball have it.

I race to win, not to please people

Coming off the last turn, my thoughts changed from ‘One more try…one more try…one more try…’ to ‘I can win! I can win! I can win!

If I win a tournament, I win it by myself. I do the playing. Nobody helps me

But there was no question in my mind that I was gonna still go for it. I was still going for the win.

Life is not fair. And you have to choose your battles, because there are some that you cannot win. If you’re passionate about something, then you should pick up your flag and run with it.

Even if parties associated with right wing populism don’t win, they push other parties, the centrist parties, towards their position. So they do have an influence even if they’re not in power.

We’re scared of losing. That’s why we win. We know what it’s like to lose and we hate it. We enjoy being champions too much.

First of all, a man, whether seeking achievement on the athletic field or in business, must want to win. He must feel that the thing he is doing is worthwhile; so worthwhile that he is willing to pay the price of success to attain distinction.
