I was taught that everything is attainable if you are prepared to give up, to sacrifice, to get it. Whatever you want to do, you can do it, if you want it badly enough, and I do believe that. I believe that if I wanted to run a mile is four minutes I could do it. I would have to give up everything else in my life, but I could run a mile in four minutes. I believe that if a man wanted to walk on water and was prepared to give up everything else in life, he could do that.

Calling upon my years of experience, I froze at the controls.

The best classroom of all times was about two car lengths behind Juan Manuel Fangio.

Motion is tranquility.

The main thing is to be honest with yourself, know and recognize your limits and attain maximum achievement within them. I would for example get more satisfaction from climbing Snowdon, which I know I could, than from attempting Everest, which I couldn't.

I am not a driver, I am a racer.

I believe that if a man wanted to walk on water, and was prepared to give up everything in life, he could do it.
