Courage

The person who goes farthest is generally the one who is willing to do and dare.

Success is not measured by what you accomplish, but by the opposition you have encountered, and the courage with which you have maintained the struggle against overwhelming odds.

There may be people that have more talent than you, but there's no excuse for anyone to work harder than you do.

It's a matter of how you're going to fight and how you're going to prepare for it.

Boxing is not about how hard you hit, but how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward.

When I came up to bat with three men on and two men out in the ninth, I looked in the other team's dugout and they were already in street clothes.

I've lived on the edge, I've experienced as much life as I possibly can; I've enjoyed a wild and reckless streak, and I got away with a lot of it.

You dream. You plan. You reach. There will be obstacles. There will be doubters. There will be mistakes. But with hard work, with belief, with confidence and trust in yourself and those around you, there are no limits.

I’m always going to play with a chip on my shoulder.

My hunger to be great will never stop.

Every word penned is a defiance against the norms that seek to confine a woman's spirit.

In the ink of my pen lies the strength of generations of silenced women, yearning to be heard.

We should never underestimate the power of our voices and the difference we can make when we speak out.

Pressure is a privilege.

The battles that count aren't the ones for gold medals. The struggles within yourself - the invisible, inevitable battles inside all of us - that's where it's at.

I wanted to be a Marine. That was my plan, my intention, and I wouldn't settle for anything less.

If you're not gonna go all the way, why go at all?

Self-doubt doesn't come from others, it comes from ourselves. We do tell ourselves that we're not capable, that we can't do it, that we're not good enough.

To make this team come out on top with the belief of the experts against it favored to lose, that's convincing the boys of the worth of the Notre Dame spirit.

One man practicing sportsmanship is far better than 50 preaching it.
