Past Olympians have a continuing role within the Olympic family.

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.

The naively cynical measure a piece of legislation, a victory, a milestone not against the past or the limits of the possible, but against their ideas of perfection...

If you don't follow your dreams, someone else, somewhere will follow theirs. Don't get left behind.

I climb fences when i got fences to climb.

Which is the least spoken language, world-wide?The language of Truth

He was violating the second rule of the two rules for getting on well with people that speak Spanish; give the men tobacco and leave the women alone

We can choose our family. We can't choose our relatives.

Eventually women will learn there's no such thing as freedom. Their husbands are just as fastened to the deck as they are. Men get onto a treadmill and never got off.

Cold winds are disagreeable, hot winds enervating, moist winds unhealthy.

I used to love people for what they could be. I thought love was how hard you tried and how much you sacrificed and suffered. That is not love. Acceptance is.

It is superficial to fall in love with someone looking at their face. To me I need to discover the person. I would never look at someone and exclaim - He is the one!
