Pain is the purifier. Love pain. Embrace pain.

To be great, one does not have to be mad, but definitely it helps.

If it hurts, make it hurt more.

Thus I urge you to go onto your greatness if you believe it is in you. Think deeply and separate what you wish from what you are prepared to do.

Great people and great athletes realize early in their lives their destiny, and accept it. Even if they do not consciously realize the how, the where, the what.

The mastery of the true self, and the refusal to permit others to dominate us, is the ultimate in living and self-expression in athletics.
