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

In the Olympic Oath, I ask for only one thing: sporting loyalty.

May joy and good fellowship reign, and in this manner, may the Olympic Torch pursue its way through ages, increasing friendly understanding among nations, for the good of a humanity always more enthusiastic, more courageous and more pure.

The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not to win but to take part, just as the most important thing in life is not the triumph but the struggle. The essential thing is not to have conquered but to have fought well.

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

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.
