Give it everything you've got. Leave nothing out there.
In tennis, it is not the opponent you fear, it is the failure itself, knowing how near you were but just out of reach.
I don't play any tournaments to come second best.
Some people pray just to pray and some people pray to know God.
I used to think that losing made you more hungry and determined but after my success at the Olympics and the U.S. Open I realise that winning is the biggest motivation.
You have to go into each match believing you can beat all of the players.
It's not the end of the world to lose.
For me the most important thing has always been tennis, and that's what I want to get across the image I want to portray is a hard-working tennis player.
Where resources are plentiful (i.e. no constraints), you will find very little creativity. Where resources are scarce (i.e. many constraints), you will find an abundance of creativity.
I'll be supporting anyone but England.
I've realised over the years I play my best when I have time to prepare for each tournament as best as possible.
The only humility that is really ours is not that which we try to show before God in prayer, but that which we carry with us in our daily conduct.
I had to pay an incredible amount to get insured on it and, after a couple of weeks of driving it around, I realised it wasn't quite my style. I'm not flash by any means but a bright red Ferrari is a definite head-turner and I hated that. It was also incredibly impractical, particularly when it came to finding space for a friend or for my tennis bag, so I decided to sell it after a few months.
There is need of a great revival of spiritual life, of truly fervent devotion to our Lord Jesus, of entire consecration to His service. It is only in a church in which this spirit of revival has at least begun, that there is any hope of radical change in the relation of the majority of our Christian people to mission work.
I'm definitely open to change, but at the same time I am quite stubborn.
Through His Spirit, the Spirit of prayer, our life may be one of continual prayer. The Spirit of prayer will help you become an intercessor, asking great things of God for those around you.
I've had an entrepreneurial mindset from a young age and I've been interested in companies and products that are a little bit different.
I think most players would love, at one stage in their career, to say, 'I've been No. 1 in the world.
I was playing in the juniors at Wimbledon I forgot to turn my mobile phone off. It was lying there in my bag and it rang in the middle of a match, and it was one of my friends from school saying, 'Murray, you're on the telly!' I learnt from that. I now put my phone on silent.
The enemy uses all his power to lead the Christian, and above all the minister, to neglect prayer. He knows that however admirable the sermon may be, however attractive the service, however faithful the pastoral visitation, none of these things can damage him or his kingdom if prayer is neglected.
When a lot of things are going the wrong way for a country, for a people, when you can't really think of anything worse than a war, you always try to take life on the brighter side and that's how I grew up with my parents.
A believer may pass through much affliction, and yet secure very little blessing from it all. Abiding in Christ is the secret of securing all that the Father meant the chastisement to bring us.
One of the worst things sin did for man was to make him selfish, for selfishness cannot love.
Winning Wimbledon, I can't get my head around that. I still can't believe it's happened.
People think I am unemotional because my voice is flat and a bit boring. It is unfortunate but it is just the way it is. I've tried to change it but it doesn't seem to make a difference. The truth is, I have lots of emotions inside. I cried after the semi-final at Wimbledon [2012] because I was proud to reach the final and I knew how much it meant to the country. I cried after the [losing] final [to Federer], too, for different reasons. I felt I had let people down. I think people warmed to that. They could see how much it hurt.
