The Essential Thing Is Not To Have

The Important Thing In Life Is Not Victory But Combat; It Is Not To Have Vanquished But To Have Fought Well.

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

The Olympic Flag [] Has A White Background, With Five Interlaced Rings In The Centre: Blue, Yellow, Black, Green And Red []. This Design Is Symbolic; It Represents The Five Continents Of The World, United By Olympism, While The Six Colours Are Those That Appear On All The National Flags Of The World At The Present Time.

In The Olympic Oath, I Ask For Only One Thing: Sporting Loyalty.

The Olympic Games Are For The World And All Nations Must Be Admitted To Them.
