The Olympic Spirit Is Neither The Property

The Strength Of Olympism Comes To It From That Which Is Simply Human, Hence Worldwide Is Its Essence.

For Me Sport Was A Religion... With Religious Sentiment.

Olympism Is Not A System - It Is A State Of Mind. This State Of Mind Has Emerged From A Double Cult: That Of Effort And That Of Eurythmy - A Taste Of Excess And A Taste Of Measure Combined.

Sport Must Be The Heritage Of All Men And Of All Social Classes.

The Important Thing In Life Is Not The Triumph But The Struggle.
