I accepted the face that as much as I want to lead others, and love to be around other people, in some essential way, I am something of a loner.
Arthur AsheAlways have the situation under control, even if losing. Never betray an inward sense of defeat.
Arthur AsheI may not be walking with you all the way, or even much of the way, as I walk with you now.
Arthur AsheI have tried to keep on with my striving because this is the only hope I have of ever achieving anything worthwhile and lasting.
Arthur AsheThe world over - 50 million children start playing tennis, 5 million learn to play tennis, 500,000 learn professional tennis, 50,000 come to the circuit, 5000 reach the grand slam, 50 reach Wimbledon, 4 to semi final, 2 to the finals, when I was holding a cup I never asked GOD 'Why me?'. And today in pain I should not be asking GOD 'Why me?'
