But when you come from a large, wonderful family, there's always a way to achieve your goals.

Winning is great, sure, but if you are really going to do something in life, the secret is learning how to lose. Nobody goes undefeated all the time. If you can pick up after a crushing defeat, and go on to win again, you are going to be a champion someday.

'I can't' are two words that have never been in my vocabulary. I believe in me more than anything in this world.

I don't know why I run so fast. I just run.

I ran and ran and ran every day, and I acquired this sense of determination, this sense of spirit that I would never, never give up, no matter what else happened.

My doctor told me I would never walk again. My mother told me I would. I believed my mother.

The triumph can't be had without the struggle.
