Martina Navratilova
“Tennis has given me soul”
“I think the key is for women not to set any limits”
“The mark of great sportsmen is not how good they are at their best, but how good they are at their worst”
“I’ve been in the twilight of my career longer than most people have had careers”
“The moment of victory is much too short to live for that and nothing else.”
"It is easier to do a job right than to explain why you didn't."
“The more people come out, the less it will be an issue."
“Disability is a matter of perception. If you can do just one thing well, you're needed by someone."
"You can't live in the past, there's nothing you can do about it"
"I hope, when I stop, people will think that somehow I mattered."
"The difference between involvement and commitment is like ham and eggs. The chicken is involved; the pig is committed."
"Being blunt with your feelings is very American. In this big country, I can be as brash as New York, as hedonistic as Los Angeles, as sensuous as San Francisco, as brainy as Boston, as proper as Philadelphia, as brawny as Chicago, as warm as Palm Springs, as friendly as my adopted home town of Dallas, Fort Worth, and as peaceful as the inland waterway that rubs up against my former home in Virginia Beach."
Whoever said, "It's not whether you win or lose that counts," probably lost.
