If I don't ask "Why me?" after my victories, I cannot ask "Why me?" after my setbacks and disasters.

Drummed into me, above all, by my dad, by the whole family, was that without your good name, you would be nothing.

You've got to get to the stage in life where going for it is more important than winning or losing.

With what we give, we make a life.

You come to realize that life is short, and you have to step up. Don't feel sorry for me. Much is expected of those who are strong.

My humanity, in common with all of God's children, gives the greatest flight to my full range of my possibilities.

When we were together, I loved you deeply and you gave me so much happiness I can never repay you.
