In the Olympic Oath, I ask for only one thing: sporting loyalty.
The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not winning but taking part; the essential thing in life is not conquering but fighting well.
Sport must be accessible to working class youth.
Holding an Olympic Games means evoking history.
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.
