Sport is the habitual and voluntary cultivation of intensive physical effort.

The six colors, including the white background, represent the colors of all the world's flags ... this is a true international emblem.

The essential thing is not to have conquered but to have fought well.

The Olympic Games are the quadrennial celebration of the springtime of humanity.

The essential thing in life is not so much conquering as fighting well.

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.

The important thing is that all stages from adolescent to mature man, work is done to spread the sporting spirit.
