All sports for all people.

Success comprises in itself the seeds of its own decline and sport is not spared by this law.

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

The important thing in life is not the triumph but the struggle.

A country can truly call itself sporting when the majority of its people feel a personal need for sport.

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

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