You are never really playing an opponent. You are playing yourself, your own highest standards, and when you reach your limits, that is real joy.

A winner never stops trying.

Are you running out of breath? Go faster! (Life credo)

It was my father who taught us that an immigrant must work twice as hard as anybody else, that he must never give up.

When you reach the major leagues, it's unbelievable how much you don't know about the game you've been playing all your life.

I wanted to make an impact beyond running fast and jumping far.
