Olympism... Exalting And Combining In A Balanced

Winning Medals Wasn't The Point Of The Olympics. It's The Participating That Counts.

The Important Thing Is That All Stages From Adolescent To Mature Man, Work Is Done To Spread The Sporting Spirit.

Sport Is Part Of Every Man And Woman's Heritage And Its Absence Can Never Be Compensated For.

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

The Day When A Sportsman Stops Thinking Above All Else Of The Happiness In His Own Effort And The Intoxication Of The Power And Physical Balance He Derives From It, The Day When He Lets Considerations Of Vanity Or Interest Take Over, On This Day His Ideal Will Die.
