“I really think a champion is defined not by their wins but by how they can recover when they fall.”

Am I the greatest? I don’t know. I’m the greatest that I can be.

I wish I could play like Roger Federer.

If anything, you know, I think losing makes me even more motivated.

You have to believe in yourself when no one else does.

I don’t have anything to prove ever, ever in my life. If I have something to prove, what does that mean for everyone else? And I think everyone should have that attitude.

I’m not one to blame anyone else for anything. And I don’t think anyone else should either.

Victory is very, very sweet. It tastes better than any dessert you’ve ever had.

I don’t go thinking I’m going to lose. I never go into a tournament thinking that. I’ll do the best that I can.

I think in life you should work on yourself until the day you die.

Everyone’s dream can come true if you just stick to it and work hard.

I wanted to get really fit. I wanted to lose some weight. So I’ve been doing Pilates and yoga, trying to lean out my body so I won’t be bulky.

I’ve had to learn to fight all my life – got to learn to keep smiling. If you smile things will work out.

I think you have to love yourself before you fall in love. I’m still learning to love myself.

Growing up I wasn’t the richest, but I had a rich family in spirit. Standing here with 19 championships is something I never thought would happen. I went on a court just with a ball and a racket and with a hope.

I love tennis more than designing because it’s actually easier and I don’t get nearly as nervous.

You can’t underestimate anyone.

If the human being is a proud and honorable creature, he shouldn’t forget to act that way, even if he falls, even if the whole world is against him, even if he ends as a slave.

Hills that stand soft and a sky that stands high and blue, and the sun setting behind a windmill, and always, always, hazy strings of mountains that fall and fall away on the horizon.

The new religion will teach the dignity of human nature and its infinite possibilities for development. It will teach the solidarity of the race: that all must rise and fall as one. Its creed will be justice, liberty, equality for all the children of earth.

The sons of Adam are formed from dust; if not humble as the dust, they fall short of being men.

Ordinary people who are just kind of just going about their lives are transformed into heroes because they have the courage to put their voices out there. And I think that’s a powerful message in this time of political strife.

Nothing is more terrifying than falling in love.
