My Humanity, In Common With All Of

I Have Tried To Keep On With My Striving Because This Is The Only Hope I Have Of Ever Achieving Anything Worthwhile And Lasting.

Some Folks Call Tennis A Rich People's Sport Or A White Person's Game. I Guess I Started Too Early Because I Just Thought It Was Something Fun To Do.

We Must Believe In The Power Of Education. We Must Respect Just Laws. We Must Love Ourselves, Our Old And Or Young, Our Women As Well As Our Men.

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