I am still here because I like to prove myself. I still like to ride the bike on track and enjoy the races. I still have good reasons to be in racing after so many years.

Riding a race bike is an art - a thing that you do because you feel something inside.

The most important thing is to have a good relationship with the bike... you have to understand what she wants. I think of a motorcycle as a woman, and I know that sounds silly, but it's true.

To be a great motorbike racer, the most important thing is passion for the bike.

The speed is something dangerous but very exciting.

Giving yourself threads doesn't mean you don't believe in yourself in my opinion.

Maybe the bike is more dangerous, but the passion for the car for me is second to the bike.

I feel 100% a Yamaha rider in my heart. I had a long career and raced with several factory bikes, but the highlight of my career is undoubtedly with Yamaha.

I'm Valentino Rossi. And I want to be a person, not an icon.

Our sport is dangerous. We risk the life out there, so we need to stay calm and focused and leave all the rest out.

But I could also start F1 or rallying. I love rallying much more.

To make life beautiful--every time you think--think about the amazing beauty of life.

Don’t miss what the Lord has in store for those who love Him and are willing to let Him be the Master of their lives.

I definitely think we should all have the right to love, and love publicly, the people we want to love.

The money I saved during baseball was probably all gone. I'm tapped out.

Not another flag has such an errand, carrying everywhere, the world around, such hope for freedom such glorious tidings.

Without a sincere and diligent effort in every area of obedience, there will be no sucessful mortification of any one besetting sin.

If being smart is what you say it is, I will remain a fool my entire life.

I passed beyond the unreality of the thing represented, I entered crazily into the spectacle, into the image, taking into my arms what is dead, what is going to die.

Over the long haul of life on the planet, it is the ecologists, and not the bookkeepers of business, who are the ultimate accountants.

When you say, "Come in Jesus as my caregiver, stay out as my Lord," he can't. He's both.
