It's no accident, I think, that tennis uses the language of life. Advantage, service, fault, break, love, the basic elements of tennis are those of everyday existence, because every match is a life in miniature. Even the structure of tennis, the way the pieces fit inside one another like Russian nesting dolls, mimics the structure of our days. Points become games become sets become tournaments, and it's all so tightly connected that any point can become the turning point. It reminds me of the way seconds become minutes become hours, and any hour can be our finest. Or darkest. It's our choice. . Andre Agassi
About This Quote

The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall. It's a quote about the power of persistence. This quote is very close to the meaning of the word persistence itself. The word persistent means that you keep fighting and continuing with your efforts no matter what happens.

I think this quote has to do with the most obvious thing in life, living and dying, and how it is such a big part of our lives that we don't really think about it all that much. People will go through their lives and they will die. And we can either continue on or we can throw in the towel and give up.

Either way, we are going to carry on with our lives and live it to its fullest, no matter what happens.
