There is a big difference between being good and being great.

You're not disabled by the disabilities you have, you are able by the abilities you have.

I have a strong sense that I have to educate people about disability.

I grew up not really thinking I had a disability. I grew up thinking I had different shoes.

The only disability in life is having a bad attitude

It's impossible to make everyone happy. Some will choose to see the negative. None is perfect but find a way of loving them perfectly!

I'd like to show people that if you put the hard work in and you believe in yourself, then you can do whatever you want to.

I don't see myself as disabled. There's nothing I can't do that able-bodied athletes can do.

The more I accomplish, the more pressure I put on myself.

Thank you to everyone that has made me the athlete I am! God, family and friends, my competitors and supporters! You have all had a hand!

I think every athlete that’s just out here for the Olympics just does something to inspire those around them and inspire each other.

The whole point in moving forward is to leave things behind. Once you look back, you stop moving forward. Understanding this makes you move on easier.

Life will always get in the way of living.

Never overlook wallflower at dance; may be dandelion in grass.

Swallowing angry words before you say them is better than having to eat them afterwards.

If people are going to run you over for no reason and think they're going to get away with it, you just go out there and ruin their day, too. That's they way I feel.

The minute you take away somebody the public's voting for, you're screwing with the program. There's no logic to it.

Canada has always been a strong supporter of Chinas accession to the WTO... We look forward to playing a constructive role in helping complete Chinas accession.

I keep calling it the I-thought. It's a thought. There is no I. This gives you a clue.

Faith engenders courage; and also requires it.

Not even for a million dollars would I paint a tree.
