Tennis is all about mental toughness and you have to keep your head in the game. I make time to relax away from competition pressures travel and intense training schedules to make sure I'm looking after myself. Taking time out with family and friends helps to maintain the work-life balance everyone needs.

A good athlete always mentally replays a competition over and over even in victory to see what might be done to improve the performance the next time.

They're trying to tell us that we're not right so we have to buy their products. The number one cause of mental illness is not knowing who you are and you can't know who you are if you don't spend time honoring yourself and living in the present.

The technology at the leading edge changes so rapidly that you have to keep current after you get out of school. I think probably the most important thing is having good fundamentals.

Despite my emphasis on technology I do not view laws as inherently evil. My goals are political ones even if my techniques are not. The only way to fundamentally succeed is by changing existing laws. If I rejected all help from the political arena I would inevitably fail.

Technology is similarly just a catalyst at times for fundamental forces already present.

The technology is really where all of the changes have taken place but the fundamentals of a good story being the basis of every good picture and really the only basis still remains the rule more so today I think because we've unfortunately weaned an audience from birth to kind of mindless movies.

For over 15 years through the clean coal programs of the Department of Energy the Federal Government has been a solid partner working jointly with private companies and the states to develop and demonstrate a new generation of environmentally clean technology using coal.

Take therefore what modern technology is capable of: the power of our moral sense allied to the power of communications and our ability to organize internationally.That in my view gives us the first opportunity as a community to fundamentally change the world.

These days the technology can solve our problems and then some. Solutions may not only erase physical or mental deficits but leave patients better off than "able-bodied" folks. The person who has a disability today may have a superability tomorrow.

What's sort of interesting about the whole public relations disaster that is the Net in some ways is that the fundamentals are really good.

Without any doubt at all teacher quality is the fundamental differentiator. Not just incidentally of education but I would argue probably the biggest single differentiator of success for the nations of the 21st Century.

I don't have a lot of skills but one thing I can do is I can compartmentalize. I can make that a little world that I can go back to so I can be a waitress or I can be a teacher and then go and work on my book.

Women ought to feel a peculiar sympathy in the colored man's wrong for like him she has been accused of mental inferiority and denied the privileges of a liberal education.

A creative element is surely present in all great systems and it does not seem possible that all sympathy or fundamental attitudes of will can be entirely eliminated from any human philosophy.

Everyone applauds each other's success in Hollywood because they know how tough it is but it really comes down fundamentally to the process.

Temporary success can be achieved in spite of lack of other fundamental qualities but no advancements can be maintained without hard work.
