Opportunity knocks only once. You never know if you'll get another opportunity.

I still am champion in my own right.

God gave me the strength to see, and breathe, and talk.

To experience the agony of defeat makes you stronger. It's like taking one step back and two steps forward. To experience the agony of defeat makes you appreciate the experience of winning. That's what makes a champion.

You can't do nothing but try if you still got it in your heart.

It ain't what you do it's how you do it.

Kids always need a role model. I let them know you can do it, too, if you really want to.
