ROGER FEDERER

When you're good at something, make that everything.

What I think I've been able to do well over the years is play with pain, play with problems, play in all sorts of conditions.

You have to believe in the long-term plan you have but you need the short-term goals to motivate and inspire you.

I've always been aware that the image you patiently construct for an entire career can be ruined in a minute. It scares you a bit, but that's the way things are.

I fear no one, but respect everyone.

A man who wins, is a man who thinks he can.

There is no way around the hard work. Embrace it.

The more I lose, the more they believe they can beat me. But believing is not enough, you still have to beat me.

Success is a nice thing because it always means you've taken a step forward and it gives you a sense of pride, which in turn gives you confidence and experience-a positive circle, so to speak.
