Success

Victory belongs to the most persevering.

Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard.

Success is not given, it is earned.

Every stroke and every lap counts towards achieving your goals in swimming.

Success is not given, it is earned through hard work and dedication.

I practice in Beijing for three months, and every day is perfect. I play nothing wrong. I can't do that in the U.K.

My ambition has always been higher than everybody else.

I always believe I can come back. I just focus one ball at a time.

Courage doesn’t mean you don’t get afraid. Courage means you don’t let fear stop you.

Believe in yourself and back yourself.

Do not be discouraged by the distance of the goal, be encouraged by the steps you've taken.

I wish I could jump like Vince Carter.

It's not the hours you put in your work that count, it's the work you put in the hours.

Without my injuries, I might never have won at the starting line.

Basketball, to me, is the best sport in the world.

The more games you play, the more experience you get. It's the key to success.

You can't just step on the ice and expect to be the best player.

You have to work each and every day to get better as a player.

Speed is a big part of my game. It's what sets me apart.

Sometimes, I felt like people don't respect me. That's why I have to prove them wrong.
