My Olympic voyage has continued because it is so rewarding.

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.

Just like I'm still angry with Simpson for getting by with two murders.

I think you've got to keep it simple, keep it fresh. Stay away from all that processed stuff, read the labels.

One says also, it is one of the most faithful men in Hollywood, and makes again more interesting it equal.

The thing about the Nobel ceremony is that for a whole week, you get treated like a superstar. You get driven everywhere. You have minders who always make sure you get where you're going. And you always get into the back seat of the limo.

If you're not a daydreamer, you haven't got any imagination.

Typecasting is a good thing. It's good to be known for what you do.

Your love for what you do and willingness to push yourself where others arent prepared to go is what will make you great.

I think with anybody who's doing well in the public eye or whatever, there's always gonna be a shift because people don't wanna see somebody happy all the time. And they're gonna try to take shots at people.

We have guided missiles and misguided men.

You want failures to be small and informational. Silicon Valley does very well. It knows how to use failure as a tool for improvement.

Work harder than everybody. Youre not going to get it by whining and youre not going to get it by shouting and youre not going to get it by quitting. Youre going to get it by being there.

All right-wing antigovernment rage in America bears a racial component, because liberalism is understood, consciously or unconsciously, as the ideology that steals from hard-working, taxpaying whites and gives the spoils to indolent, grasping blacks.
