Holding An Olympic Games Means Evoking History.

The Olympic Games Were Created For The Exhaltation Of The Individual Athlete.

All Sports Must Be Treated On The Basis Of Equality.

The Important Thing In Life Is Not Victory But Combat; It Is Not To Have Vanquished But To Have Fought Well.

I Therefore Think That I Was Right In Trying From The Outset Of The Olympic Revival To Rekindle A Religious Awareness.

The Essential Thing In Life Is Not So Much Conquering As Fighting Well.
