THE TOP 1O BEST INSPIRATIONAL ESTHER WILLIAMS' QUOTES

Esther Jane Williams was born in Inglewood, California, on August 8, 1921. She was an American competitive swimmer and actress.

Williams was enthusiastic about swimming in her early life years. To fulfill her dream of being a competitive swimmer she took a job counting towels at the pool to pay the five cent entry fee and had swimming lessons from the male lifeguards. There, she learned the 'male-only' swimming strokes, including the butterfly, with which she would later break records.

Williams was also a successful actress and businesswoman.

Here are the top 10 best inspirational Esther Williams quotes we detached to celebrate her birthday:

1. Somehow I kept my head above water. I relied on the discipline, character, and strength that I had started to develop as that little girl in her first swimming pool.

2. Three events. Three gold medals. I was news, big news, in the sports world.

3. The wisdom acquired with the passage of time is a useless gift unless you share it.

4. No one can avoid a challenge in life without breeding regret, and regret is the arsenic of life.

5. We can't all win Olympic medals. Even I never won one.

6. I always felt that if I made a movie, it would be one movie; I didn't see how they could make 26 swimming movies.

7. What the public expects and what is healthy for an individual are two very different things.

8. When you're out of sight for as long as I was, there's a funny feeling of betrayal that comes over people when they see you again.

9. I was 15, and the years of hard swimming had packed muscle on my frame and made me very strong. Not as strong as a football player, but strong enough to inflict heavy damage.
