Holding an Olympic Games means evoking history.
The Olympic Spirit is neither the property of one race nor of one age.
The important thing in life is not the triumph but the struggle.
All sports for all people.
May joy and good fellowship reign, and in this manner, may the Olympic Torch pursue its way through ages, increasing friendly understanding among nations, for the good of a humanity always more enthusiastic, more courageous and more pure.
In the Olympic Oath, I ask for only one thing: sporting loyalty.
