I think that money has changed my sport.

My Olympic voyage has continued because it is so rewarding.

Then in a fraction of a second, I realized that these sportsmen were not anyone's enemies.

Too many athletes do not admit their weaknesses.

A buddy will keep you honest and add a dimension of fun to your workout.

The fans and supporters are also part of the Olympic family.

Nutrition is also a valuable component that can help athletes both protect themselves and improve performance.

I think that money has changed my sport.

Understand from top to bottom what the effort requires.

I have read many studies out of the Karolinska Institute in Sweden and they demonstrated that Vitamin E, Co-Q-10, and Fish Oil could protect the immune system of athletes and prevent disease.

A key factor is to do training that is fun.

Those of us who participate realize the incredible honor bestowed on us, but to really understand the true scope and depth of the movement requires more investigation and concentration.

Realize that from the start, every activity that comprises the journey has value and the ability to teach you something.

Past Olympians have a continuing role within the Olympic family.

Too many athletes don't have the ability to set a goal and then carefully go towards it.

Olympians are the product of the Movement, and to get them to the stadiums, pools and playing fields, it takes the actions of legions of people who might not be Olympians.

Once you have selected a sport or a creative activity, the rules are pretty much the same.

The Ancient Games are relatively obscure to most Olympians, but to understand just what the Games are about, it is really necessary to investigate the roots and the meaning that has transformed culture and society for so many years.

Whatever pursuit you undertake, the requirements should start with a love of what it is that you are pursuing.

Actually, the moment of victory is wonderful, but also sad. It means that your trip is ended.

The Olympic movement is divided into two very distinct eras.

If it were easy, it would have no value.

The Olympic Games of the Modern Era began in 1896 in the city of Athens.

The East Germans first used biomechanics. This meant that rather than guessing about technique and form, they could apply changes to athletic performance based on science.

One of the key elements is the ability to be honest with yourself.

The greatest feeling of accomplishment for me is the fact that I was an athlete who was somewhat disabled.

As I mentioned previously, the tools that allow for optimum health are diet and exercise.

There is no one magic move or secret that creates victory, but lots of little items that when added together can make you victorious.

My family knew, but most of the sporting world did not realize that my right hand been some 75% paralyzed.

I have competed before empty stadiums a lot in my career.

The ability to mingle with so many countries and cultures is extremely valuable for men and women.

Anabolic steroids were not banned until after the 72 Olympics.

It is always possible to improve.

We have made drugs an Olympic event. It receives most of the coverage at the Games and even the suspicion of guilt can ruin a reputation for life.

Athens will again be the host of the Games in 2004, but there are rumors that they might be switched if the Greeks don't begin to construct the sites faster.

When I competed, it was for honor and country. It was a privilege to be a part of the U.S. team.

During the 60's, drug use was in fashion in the U.S.

I also do not like the idea of soft money, these issue ads - people don't know where the money is coming from, millions and millions of dollars outside of the control of a candidate - there's no accountability.

Stories come from other shows at other studios where only 2,000 rounds were actually used and the money for the other 3,000 went right into the studio pockets. Corners were cut and that production suffered. Knock wood, that hasn't happened to us.

Never play anything that don't sound right. You might not make any money, but at least you won't get hostile with yourself.

Don't make music for some vast, unseen audience or market or ratings share or even for something as tangible as money. Though it's crucial to make a living, that shouldn't be your inspiration. Do it for yourself.

When I sent those scripts, that was the lowest point of my life. We'd just had our second son, and when I went to collect them from hospital, I went to the bank to try and get some money to buy some diapers, the screen showed I've got $26 left.

One does not need buildings, money, power, or status to practice the Art of Peace. Heaven is right where you are standing, and that is the place to train.

I would rather take the role and work and make my own money and self respect than to have sex with someone who has a lot of money.

People may take a job for more money, but they often leave it for more recognition.

I make no claim to being a business genius. You can make so much money in this business that it loses its value.

It costs a great deal of money to do a musical, and the more money involved, the more big business influences the artform.

The world over, give a guy money and it goes to drinking, gambling, and women. When you give a woman money, it goes to feeding, clothing, helping people.

Your team has to understand that coming into the ABA, you have to have your investments right and sponsorships and people ready to give you money so they can back you up.
