Perhaps the greatest female athlete ever, Babe Didrikson Zaharias was known for her abilities in track and field, golf, and basketball.  Here are some of her notable quotes:

• I am out to beat everybody in sight, and that is just what I'm going to do
• The formula for success is simple: practice and concentration then more practice and more concentration
• The more you practice, the better. But in any case, practice more than you play
• Practice, which some regard as a chore, should be approached as just about the most pleasant recreation ever devised, besides being a necessary part of golf
• As long as I'm improving, I will go on, and besides, there's too much money in the business to quit
• A couple of hours of practice is worth ten sloppy rounds
• Luck? Sure. But only after long practice and only with the ability to think under pressure
• Practice, which some regard as a chore, should be approached as just about the most pleasant recreation ever devised
• The Babe is here. Who's coming in second?
• All of my life I have always had the urge to do things better than anybody else
• Study the rules so that you won't beat yourself by not knowing something
• You can't win them all -- but you can try

I especially like the last three quotes . . .
