Festival of the impassioned efforts and manifold ambitions of all forms of youthful activity of every generation springing from the threshold of life.

Holding an Olympic Games means evoking history.

For each individual, sport is a possible source for inner improvement

The day when a sportsman stops thinking above all else of the happiness in his own effort and the intoxication of the power and physical balance he derives from it, the day when he lets considerations of vanity or interest take over, on this day his ideal will die.

All sports for all people.

Swifter, higher, stronger.

Sport must be accessible to working class youth.
