This ability to conquer oneself is no doubt the most precious of all things sports bestows.

Don't be afraid if things seem difficult in the beginning. That's only the initial impression. The important thing is not to retreat; you have to master yourself.

Its better to have a rich soul than to be rich.

I'd been ready too, because before Olympic Games, I wasn't compete in big competition like, World Championship, like European Championship. I just competed in national competition.

And from that nineteen sixty four, this was my goal to go to Olympic Games. And I realized what does it mean, Olympic Games, like big celebration.

Anyway I will go same road because I, I was born in gymnastics. This is my, how to say, my life and my duty.

I am not interested in medals or titles. I dont need them. I need the love of the public and I fight for it.

And, in nineteen seventy two Olympic Games I wasn't really going to be a star, and overnight I became a star.

But let me do I will show the world what gymnastics looks like. Well may be this is a future gymnastics.

How many people in the world is, each of them is individual. And I like to eat bread, somebody don't like that. You know this is the same in gymnastics.

I would say this is not negative this is h, a hard part in gymnastics. You can't eat, whatever you want to eat. And what kind of meal you're supposed to have, you can't.

Pure logic is the ruin of the spirit.

I think if I have established anything in my book, it's that a key element of being my friend is being comfortable with my forced fun.

Better is to speak unpleasant truth than to tell lies.

I've arrived at the place if I'm not taking a career risk, I'm not happy. If I'm scared, then I know I'm being challenged.

I fear it as little as to drink a cup of tea.

For the Staffel: attack on principle in groups of four or six. When the fight breaks up into a series of single combats, take care that several do not go for one opponent.

I'm an American; I'm not an African-American. I'm an American.

Most great companies in tech have been built by personal referrals for the first...at least 100 employees and often many more.
