I have competed before empty stadiums a lot in my career.

The greatest feeling of accomplishment for me is the fact that I was an athlete who was somewhat disabled.

Nutrition is also a valuable component that can help athletes both protect themselves and improve performance.

Realize that from the start, every activity that comprises the journey has value and the ability to teach you something.

I have read many studies out of the Karolinska Institute in Sweden and they demonstrated that Vitamin E, Co-Q-10, and Fish Oil could protect the immune system of athletes and prevent disease.

The East Germans first used biomechanics. This meant that rather than guessing about technique and form, they could apply changes to athletic performance based on science.

During the 60's, drug use was in fashion in the U.S.

As I mentioned previously, the tools that allow for optimum health are diet and exercise.

Olympians are the product of the Movement, and to get them to the stadiums, pools and playing fields, it takes the actions of legions of people who might not be Olympians.

The Olympic Games of the Modern Era began in 1896 in the city of Athens.

Athens will again be the host of the Games in 2004, but there are rumors that they might be switched if the Greeks don't begin to construct the sites faster.

Honor is for the Lord. Who the Lord honors, and how He'll do it, is all up to Him.

As I often tell my students, the person you’ll have the hardest time opening to and truly loving without reserve is yourself. Once you can do that, you can love the whole universe unconditionally.

I was moving among two groups... who had almost ceased to communicate at all, who in intellectual, moral, and psychological climate had so little in common that... one might have crossed the ocean.

Usually, when you're working is when people want you to work. They don't want you as much when you're not working. That's the frustrating nature of our business.

In our public life, California is on the verge of being a failed state, and no state has failed in the history of this country.

To behave rightly, we ourselves should never lay a hand on our servants as long as our anger lasts. Things will seem different to us when we have quieted and cooled down.

We have to train ourselves to use words accurately. And there's so much loose Christian talk, for which I've no doubt been as guilty as any.

O, you have torn my life all to pieces... made me be what I prayed you in pity not to make me be again!

Love the heart that hurts you, but never hurt the heart that loves you.

Never put the story in the lead. Let 'em have a hot shot of ambiguity right between the eyes.
