My great religion is a belief in the blood, the flesh, as being wiser than the intellect. We can go wrong in our minds. But what our blood feels and believes and says, is always true. The intellect is only a bit and a bridle.

There's a lot of ingredients go into being a good tennis player.

You can't put off being young until you retire.
