Sport Is The Habitual And Voluntary Cultivation

May Joy And Good Fellowship Reign, And In This Manner, May The Olympic Torch Pursue Its Way Through Ages, Increasing Friendly Understanding Among Nations, For The Good Of A Humanity Always More Enthusiastic, More Courageous And More Pure.

Olympism Is A Doctrine Of The Fraternity Between The Body And The Soul.

The Most Important Thing In The Olympic Games Is Not Winning But Taking Part; The Essential Thing In Life Is Not Conquering But Fighting Well.

Success Comprises In Itself The Seeds Of Its Own Decline And Sport Is Not Spared By This Law.

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.
