Olympism... exalting and combining in a balanced whole the qualities of body, mind and will.

The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not winning but taking part; the essential thing in life is not conquering but fighting well.

The heart of our problem is the selfishness in our heart. The human spirit soars with hope when lifted by an encouraging word. The important thing in life is not the triumph but the struggle.

The Olympic Spirit is neither the property of one race nor of one age.

A better world could be brought about only by better individuals.

Olympism seeks to create a way of life based on the joy found in effort, the educational value of a good example and respect for universal fundamental ethical principles.

For each individual, sport is a possible source for inner improvement

The important thing in life is not victory but combat; it is not to have vanquished but to have fought well.

The essential thing in life is not so much conquering as fighting well.

All sports for all people.

I don't see anybody in any sort of squad that has a normal body. It's kind of this false image of what people should look like. And what they should be like, and it's not real.

Tennessee's a hillbilly dumping ground, and Georgia's a lousy state too.
