During Our Lives...we Experience So Many Setbacks,

It Gave Me A Chance To Re-evaluate My Life And My Career. Cancer Certainly Gives Things A New Perspective. I Would Not Have Won The Tour De France If I Had Not Had Cancer. It Gave Me New Strength And Focus.

It's A Fact That Children With Cancer Have Higher Cure Rates Than Adults With Cancer, And I Wonder If The Reason Is Their Natural, Unthinking Bravery... Adults Know Too Much About Failure; They're More Cynical And Resigned And Fearful.

Winning Is About Heart, Not Just Legs. It's Got To Be In The Right Place.

Nobody Wants To Hear How I Think I've Been Mistreated, Or How I Think My Punishment Should Be Lifted, Or Tweaked, Or Reduced. Nobody Wants To Hear Me Say That, Nobody Cares What I Think About This. I Get It.

Pain Is Temporary. Eventually It Will Subside. If I Quit, However, The Surrender Stays With Me.
