Arthur ashe

Recently, I read E-mail about Arthur Ashe's quote. Its really touched my heart. Thus, I explored about him on wikipedia. I'm really impressed about his life and faith. he is a tennis player who has won three Grandslam titles. But, what makes this person become famous is when he get suffered AIDS which he got due to infected blood he received during a heart surgery in 1983, he is still strong and fearless. I think you should read about his story on here.

Here are his quotes :

• "From what we get, we can make a living; what we give, however, makes a life."
• "For every hour spent on the playing field, two should be spent with a book"
• "Let me put it this way: I think Republicans tend to keep the ball in play, Democrats go for broke."
• "True heroism is remarkably sober, very undramatic. It is not the urge to surpass all others at whatever cost, but the urge to serve others at whatever the cost."
• During his battle with AIDS, one of his fans asked: "Why does God have to select you for such a bad disease?" To this Arthur replied: The world over — 50,000,000 children start playing tennis, 5,000,000 learn to play tennis, 500,000 learn professional tennis, 50,000 come to the circuit, 5,000 reach the grand slam, 50 reach Wimbledon, 4 to the semi-finals, 2 to the finals, When I was holding a cup I never asked God "Why me?" And today in pain I should not be asking God, "Why me?".
• "Clothes and manners do not make the man; but when he is made, they greatly improve his appearance."
• "You are never really playing an opponent. You are playing yourself, your own highest standards, and when you reach your limits, that is real joy."[1]
• "If one's reputation is a possession, then of all my possessions, my reputation means most to me."

As honour, his name is used for the main stadium on USA( Arhur ashe stadium) which is annually used for US OPEN
