These have always been my legs. I train harder than other guys, eat better, sleep better and wake up thinking about athletics. I think that's probably why I'm a bit of an exception.

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!

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

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 act as the tongue of you, ... tied in your mouth . . . . in mine it begins to be loosened.

Of course you're sorry. The first words out of the mouths of men who are caught doing something they're only too happy to continue until they're caught.

No one should let yesterday use up too much of today. Easy to say, hard to live.

I've never hosted a party in my life, not even my own birthday party. I'd feel really uncomfortable saying, 'Hey everybody, let's celebrate me!' But I'm not antisocial. I don't hate people.

All the unhappiness of men arises from one single fact, that they cannot stay quietly in their own chamber.

You cannot meet someone for a moment, or even cast eyes on someone in the street, without changing. That is my subject.

You don't have to dislike people you disagree with and it doesn't mean you shouldn't be able to have bipartisan friendships in this place. Life's too short to have it any other way.

For perfect love casteth out fear, and fear can only be from the material things that soon must fade away. And thus hold to the higher thought of eternity. For life is a continual experience.

The names for things don't come first. Words stagger after, hopelessly trying to become the sensation.
