Sport is a great equalizer that can build bridges, transcend borders and cultures, and render even the fiercest conflicts temporarily irrelevant.

Richard Attias

There is no life without sport and no sport without competition.

Randeep Hooda

In order to excel, you must be completely dedicated to your chosen sport. You must also be prepared to work hard and be willing to accept constructive criticism. Without one-hundred percent dedication, you won’t be able to do this.

Willie Mays

One man practicing sportsmanship is far better than a hundred teaching it.

Knute Rockne

Fear has been a big battle, it runs rampant in my sport so I love to overcome that, to challenge it head on, because there is nothing that feels as accomplished as overcoming a fear, and something that has blocked you in such a big way.

Laura Wilkinson

That’s one thing you learn in sports. You don’t give up; you fight to the finish.

Louis Zamperini

Sport is the habitual and voluntary cultivation of intensive physical effort.

Pierre de Coubertin

Sports is a metaphor for overcoming obstacles and achieving against great odds. Athletes, in times of difficulty, can be important role models.

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

Pierre de Coubertin

Sport fosters many things that are good; teamwork and leadership.

I think what endurance sports teach you is to stay dedicated, stay focused, and also to understand you’re going to have ups and downs, but you need to keep running right through them.

Kyrsten Sinema

You can’t put a limit on anything. The more you dream, the farther you get.

The reason sport is attractive to many of the general public is that it’s filled with reversals. What you think may happen doesn’t happen. A champion is beaten, an unknown becomes a champion.

Roger Bannister

The true value of sport is more than the skills that young people learn.

Thomas Menino

Sport is a universal language, building more bridges between people than anything else I can think of.

Serious sport has nothing to do with fair play. It is bound up with hatred, jealousy, boastfulness, disregard of all rules and sadistic pleasure in witnessing violence. In other words, it is war minus the shooting.
