More quotes by Billie Jean King
I knew after my first lesson what I wanted to do with my life.
Billie Jean King
Tennis taught me so many lessons in life. One of the things it taught me is that every ball that comes to me, I have to make a decision. I have to accept responsibility for the consequences every time I hit a ball.
Billie Jean King
We have, or have had women presidents or prime ministers in Liberia, Chile, Germany, Great Britain...and yet the US of A still hasn't had a women president. It's just beyond my thinking. Look at Congress.
Billie Jean King
I think self-awareness is probably the most important thing towards being a champion.
Billie Jean King
I think one of the concerns, anytime you're in the human business, like sports, it's a very high - risk endeavor. You do have to get players every year. You have to deal with calendar. You have to deal with all kinds of things in our sport, like every sport does.
Billie Jean King
Any therapist will tell you that when you're ready, you will come out. To be outed means you weren't ready.
Billie Jean King
Reputation is what others think about you. What's far more important is character, because that is what you think about yourself.
Billie Jean King

Billie Jean King
In the complete overall history of tennis, I figure I'll be worth a sentence or two.... That's why my place in the all-time rankings means so very little to me, because I know I won't be anybody's number one, and it's that same old thing: if you're not number one, then what does it really matter?
Billie Jean King
I would just never out anybody. I think everyone has to find it in their own way and their own time.
Billie Jean King
Sports are a microcosm of society.
Billie Jean King
I try to perfect my strong points and make my weaknesses adequate.
Billie Jean King
In 1973, a woman could not get a credit card without her husband or father or a male signing off on it.
Billie Jean King
It's about learning your craft. That's a wonderful thing--especially with today's consumerism and instant gratification. You can'tbuy that. It's about making decisions, corrections, choices. I don't think it's so much about becoming a tennis player. It's about becoming a person.
Billie Jean King
Champions adjust and pressure is a privilege.
Billie Jean King
I like to see what future generations are thinking about.
