The Olympics are only once every four years so you have to take advantage of all your opportunities, both to be an inspiration to people and help support your sponsors who help you.
Lolo JonesSometimes bad things are going to happen in your life, and those things can make you stronger if you just learn how to get over them.
Lolo JonesHarder than training for the Olympics, harder than graduating from college, has been to stay a virgin before marriage.

Lolo JonesSuccess is always an easier motivator, because you want more of it. But I've also been motivated by failure. Had I medaled in London, I don't think I would be one of the few that have gone to a Summer and Winter. I would have been content with that medal. Instead, I used that failure to go to the Winter Olympics. I always tell people that failure can be one of your biggest motivators if you just have an attitude adjustment about it.
