"Back when I was a competitive swimmer, I used to dream of going to the Olympics. But then I changed my mind, once I found out how expensive the tickets are."

"Nothing could be any worse than having to turn to your friends, your colleagues and your loved ones and say –‘I gave up too soon’."

"Act like a champion, and then become one."

"The challenge for you is to decide not what is important, but what is most important and then focus your attention on that."

"A mind filled with negative thoughts makes you feel miserable and inadequate and will lead to failure after failure no matter how hard you try to succeed."

"The people and successes in your life mirror your beliefs."

"Share your aspirations only with those who will support you, not those who will respond with doubt or lack of interest."

"If obstacles are large, jump higher."

"I want to meddle with an Olympic medal made of silver metal. I want to alchemize it into gold, and use a mixture of science and mysticism to transform losing into winning."

"Your current apathy is simply your soul telling you that it is confused."

"It is one thing to know what should be done, it is another to do it."

"See it first in your mind, then become it."

"The thrust of continuous action is the firewood which fuels motivation."

"Compete like you cannot fail."

"My eyes are bronze, my hair is turning silver, and my heart is gold. Oh, and my love for you belongs in the Olympics, because it’s Special."

"Too often, people get stuck in a state of over-thinking, the result is that they never reach a decision."

"It is never about who is right or wrong, it is about what is best."

"If not now, when?"

"They don’t give Olympic medals out for talking a good game."

"There are three types of people in this world. Firstly, there are people who make things happen. Then there are people who watch things happen. Lastly, there are people who ask, what happened? Which do you want to be?"
