In The Olympic Oath, I Ask For

The Most Important Thing In The Olympic Games Is Not To Win But To Take Part, Just As The Most Important Thing In Life Is Not The Triumph But The Struggle. The Essential Thing Is Not To Have Conquered But To Have Fought Well.

Sport Must Be The Heritage Of All Men And Of All Social Classes.

The Olympic Spirit Is Neither The Property Of One Race Nor Of One Age.

The Olympic Movement Gives The World An Ideal Which Reckons With The Reality Of Life, And Includes A Possibility To Guide This Reality Toward The Great Olympic Idea.

The Olympic Games Are For The World And All Nations Must Be Admitted To Them.
