We All Have Dreams. But In Order

We Must Respect The Rights And Properties Of Our Fellowman. And Then Learn To Play The Game Of Life, As Well As The Game Of Athletics, According To The Rules Of Society. If You Can Take That And Put It Into Practice In The Community In Which You Live, Then, To Me You Have Won The Greatest Championship.

One Day Or Another Every Athlete Feels Like Taking It Easy. He Stops Trying To Exceed His Limits, And Thinks He Can Keep Winning Because Of His Lucky Star, Or The Bad Luck Of His Opponents. You Must Overcome This Negative Instinct, Which Affects All Of Us, And Which Is The Only Difference Between The Person Who Wins A Race, And Those Who Lose. This Is The Battle You Have To Fight Every Day Of Your Life.

The Only Victory That Counts Is The One Over Yourself.

If You Don't Try To Win You Might As Well Hold The Olympics In Somebody's Back Yard.

To A Sprinter, The Hundred-yard Dash Is Over In Three Seconds, Not Nine Or Ten. The First 'second' Is When You Come Out Of The Blocks. The Next Is When You Look Up And Take Your First Few Strides To Attain Gain Position. By That Time The Race Is Actually About Half Over. The Final 'second' - The Longest Slice Of Time In The World For An Athlete - Is That Last Half Of The Race, When You Really Bear Down And See What You're Made Of. It Seems To Take An Eternity, Yet Is All Over Before You Can Think What's Happening.
