Swifter, higher, stronger.

The Olympic Spirit is neither the property of one race nor of one age.

Olympism... exalting and combining in a balanced whole the qualities of body, mind and will.

The Olympic Movement gives the world an ideal which reckons with the reality of life, and includes a possibility to guide this reality toward the great Olympic Idea.

Olympism seeks to create a way of life based on the joy found in effort, the educational value of a good example and respect for universal fundamental ethical principles.

The Olympic Games are for the world and all nations must be admitted to them.

The important thing in life is not victory but combat; it is not to have vanquished but to have fought well.
