Persistence can change failure into extraordinary achievement.
Never let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game.
It's not whether you get knocked down; it's whether you get up.

The more difficult the victory, the greater the happiness in winning.
To give any less than your best is to sacrifice a gift.
The only way to do great work is to love what you do.

Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard.
The only way to prove that you're a good sport is to lose.
You have to expect things of yourself before you can do them.
The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not winning but taking part.
