Character is about integrity over time, trustworthiness over time, authenticity over time, generosity over time. Sometimes you’ll hear people talk a lot about values in conjunction with the word character, and I always say to people that values are what guide your behavior when no one is looking and you don’t think anyone will ever find out. The way you behave when you think you can get away with it is who you really are.”

“The Anti-Fanaticism Sonnet Acceptance begets harmony, Reason begets solution. Solidarity conquers agony, Character conquers differentiation. Humility brings sanity, Forgiveness brings serenity. Patience breeds tenacity, Conscience breeds sanctity. Observation causes insight, Questions cause evolution. Self-correction facilitates might, Self-reliance facilitates ascension. So wake up and trample all fanaticism, Only then we'll be free from sectarianism.”

Because, when you become the best in sports, and in life, everyone expects more from you and they want to take you down.”
