Joseph Ogbonna Quotes
Let him who wields so much power allow sobriety to order the governance of his heart.
Its only a foolish man that doesn't plan for death. And more foolish if he fails to plan for the after life.
An unprincipled man is utterly dangerous to himself.
When I depart the realm of the terrestrial, for the splendour of the celestial, do not bury my remains in the valley of the kings. For robbers would move my bones in search of gold rings. I detest sharing the glory of the blue-bloods with them in death. But I would like my molded clay buried in the worm infested earth, where it would nourish both worm and field, and help moisture give life to mother earth's withered yield.
The failure to acknowledge your fears and weaknesses is nothing more than feigned courage.
Prove me right or prove me wrong. Life is a mystery beyond the comprehension of the brainiest of all scientists and philosophers.
The dearth of faith or religion is the death of existence. Because our existence must revolve around faith.
I would rather be cheated than cheat anyone. I would rather sacrifice 'gain' and have my reputation intact, because my reputation is more important to me than yours.
Lust and infatuation are ephemeral. Only love can stand the test of an entire lifetime.
There are perhaps billions of gazes in the world. But only one can have the magnetic gaze of love.
Every man ought always to be sober, because all men are destined finally for the soil.

The serve, I was too young and too small and... not enough powerful to have a good serve when I was young, so my forehand was always my signature shot.

I did all the right things in so many tournaments. But like I said, sometimes in sports it just goes the other way. Maybe you've already won so much that it evens it out a bit sometimes. I don't know.
I used to get nervous, you know if my parents would come watch. And then I would get nervous if my friends came and watched. Today it's not a problem anymore actually, because now I enjoy it. I see that they, you know, respect me immensely, and I try to put on a good show and show that I can still play very good tennis.
When I won in 2003, never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I would win Wimbledon and have my kids seeing me lift the trophy, so this is pretty surreal. And yeah, I was almost shocked in the moment that it all came together so nicely.
Before, I guess, mum and dad were everything, but now, in my case, I had two new girls and all of a sudden they're completely dependent on you and there's a third generation. It's a funny shift all of a sudden. You have the babies, you have yourself and then you have your parents.
My dad said if you become a tennis professional just make sure you get into the top hundred, because you have to make a little bit of money. You make a living so you can pay your coaching and, you know, your travels.
When you do something best in life, you don't really want to give that up - and for me it's tennis.
When there is nothing to talk about don't force yourself to say anything because it may land you in trouble.
It’s crazy how people say, "I rely on facts," And believe thier television sets.
Some people are drawn naturally - there are natural guitarists, and there are natural piano players, and I think guitar implies travel, a sort of footloose gypsy existence. You grab your bag and you go to the next town.
