I Have Always Drawn Strength From Being

My Potential Is More Than Can Be Expressed Within The Bounds Of My Race Or Ethnic Identity.

I Take The Good With The Bad, And I Try To Face Them Both With As Much Calm And Dignity As I Can Muster.

It's An Abnormal World I Live In. I Don't Belong Anywhere. It's Like I'm Floating Down The Middle. I'm Never Quite Sure Where I Am.

Later, I Discovered There Was A Lot Of Work To Being Good In Tennis.

I Have Become Convinced That We Blacks Spend Too Much Time On The Playing Field And Too Little Time In Libraries.
