I may not be walking with you all the way, or even much of the way, as I walk with you now.

I have become convinced that we blacks spend too much time on the playing field and too little time in libraries.

With what we give, we make a life.

Someone once told me that God figured that I was a pretty good juggler. I could keep a lot of balls in the air at one time. So He said, "Let's see if he can juggle another one."

The ideal attitude is to be physically loose and mentally tight.

I don't want to be remembered for my tennis accomplishments.

I strongly believe the black culture spends too much time, energy and effort raising, praising, and teasing our black children about the dubious glories of professional sports.
