I would like to cite an instance which proves the efficacy of clean living on the part of an athlete coupled with the inspiration received from a champion which go a long way to making a champion.

In a word I was a pioneer, and therefore had to blaze my own trail.

I do not believe there is any royal road to success as an athlete any more than there is to others in everyday life.

Life is too short for any man to hold bitterness in his heart.

There are positively no mental, physical or moral attainments too lofty for the Negro to accomplish if granted a fair and equal opportunity.

There will always be that dreadful monster prejudice to do extra battle against because of their color.

Modesty should be typical of the success of a champion.
