Roger Federer is a Swiss professional tennis player-- is a very calm, consistent, and dominating player.  Personally, I refer to him as "The Machine"-- he is so consistent and makes it look so easy.  Here are a few quotes we might all learn something from:

• I have learnt to be even more patient
• Early in my career, I struggled with consistency, but I couldn't get more consistent than this year
• I can't stay No. 1 for fifty years, you know. We'll see what happens
• This doesn't happen every day so you better enjoy this moment
• It doesn't get any easier. You go out and try to hang in and put as much pressure on him as possible
• Once you've lived through all of that, you're a changed player
• It was more of giving him a taste of what he had given me
• No, I'm not (disappointed). There's no reason to be because I'm on an incredible run. You always expect a loss once in a while. So when it happens, why be disappointed if I win over 90% of my matches
