For Each Individual, Sport Is A Possible

A Country Can Truly Call Itself Sporting When The Majority Of Its People Feel A Personal Need For Sport.

Winning Medals Wasn't The Point Of The Olympics. It's The Participating That Counts.

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.

Olympism Seeks To Create A Way Of Life Based On The Joy Found In Effort, The Educational Value Of A Good Example And Respect For Universal Fundamental Ethical Principles.

The Day When A Sportsman Stops Thinking Above All Else Of The Happiness In His Own Effort And The Intoxication Of The Power And Physical Balance He Derives From It, The Day When He Lets Considerations Of Vanity Or Interest Take Over, On This Day His Ideal Will Die.
