If there is a defining characteristic of a man as opposed to a boy, maybe it's patience.

For most of my life I had operated under a simple schematic of winning and losing, but cancer was teaching me a tolerance for ambiguities.

I thought I knew what fear was, until I heard the words 'You have cancer'.

Fear is priceless education.

Cancer doesn’t care if you’re Republican or Democrat.

I spent a long time trying to build up an organisation [the Lance Armstrong Foundation that changed its name to Livestrong after his confession] to help a lot of people.

At this point of my life, I'm not out to protect anybody. I'm out to protect seven people, and they all have the last name Armstrong.
