When badminton was accepted into the Barcelona Olympic Games it showed that there was an acceptance of my sport internationally

There is no great sport in having bullets flying about one in every direction, but I find they have less horror when among them than when in anticipation

Roger Maris was as good a man and as good a ballplayer as there ever was

A Chicago alderman once confessed he needed physical exercise but didn't like jogging, because in that sport you couldn't hit anyone

Golf has more rules than any other game because golf has more cheaters than any other game

Like Olympic medals and tennis trophies, all they signified was that the owner had done something of no benefit to anyone more capably than everyone else

The Olympic Games are for the world and all nations must be admitted to them
