Just being a mediocre driver has never been my ambition. That's not my style.

I've always believed that you should never, ever give up and you should always keep fighting even when there's only a slightest chance.

Never think that success is down to your own performance alone. If you start listening only to yourself you take the first step back towards the bottom. The flowers of victory belong in many vases.

Once something is a passion, the motivation is there.

If the sun were made of hamsters, the earth would be incinerated.

I cant really imagine life without Formula One.

I'm Michael Schumacher. I don't need to test my driving ability.

Sometimes minor details can have a huge impact. If you don't devote 100 percent of your efforts to every detail, you immediately run into difficulties.

You try to hide your emotions, so as not to show weaknesses to others. I believe it's the same for every sportsman.

I will never be an old man. To me, old age is always 15 years older than I am.

The gospel of Jesus Christ prescribes the wisest rules for just conduct in every situation in life. Happy they who are enabled to obey them in all situations!

It is clear that thought is not free if the profession of certain opinions makes it impossible to earn a living.

I do not believe that I am now dreaming, but I cannot prove that I am not. I am, however, quite certain that I am having certain experiences, whether they be those of a dream or those of waking life.

I don’t mind losing as long as I see improvement or I feel I’ve done as well as I possibly could.

Yet better for one of my nature to have it that way than to have life a peaceful, placid flow of quiet contentment. I must have days of rushing excitement.

I love the urgency of what we do. I like the battles that take place, the jousting.

We are not responsible for every thought that goes wandering through our mind. We are, however, responsible for the ones we hold there. We're especially responsible for the one's we put there.

It's nice to get paid for therapy rather than having to pay $240 an hour for it.
