“The tendency of mechanical progress is to make your environment safe and soft; and yet you are striving to keep yourself brave and hard...So in the last analysis the champion of progress is also the champion of anachronisms.”
“You see yourself as something of a champion of the poor, don't you?" "No, just their doctor.”
“Champions keep playing until they get it right.”
“A true champion is someone who wants to make a difference. Who never gives up. And who gives everything she has no matter what the circumstances are. A true champion works hard and never loses sight of her dreams.”
“Don’t follow someone else’s map. You should glean teachings from all directions, keeping true to those that bring progress yet remaining open to changes in yourself.”
“The hard days are the best because that's where champions are made so if you can push through, you can push through anything!”
