I know I could never forgive myself if I elected to live without humane purpose, without trying to help the poor and unfortunate, without recognizing that perhaps the purest joy in life comes with trying to help others.

Life is like a tennis game. You can't win without serving.

True heroism is remarkably sober, very undramatic. It is not the urge to surpass all others at whatever cost, but the urge to serve others at whatever cost.

You learn about equality in history and civics, but you find out life is not really like that.

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

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

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