We run, not only because we think it is doing us good, but … because it helps us to do other things better.

To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift.

Great moments are born from great opportunities.

Never give up, never give in, and when the upper hand is ours, may we have the ability to handle the win with the dignity that we absorbed the loss.

It's hard to explain but I have a need to play intensely every day, to fight every match hard. And this desire never to stop fighting is something else I learnt in the place where I grew up.

I hated every minute of it. But I said to myself, 'Suffer now, and live the rest of your life as a champion'.
