Believe me, the reward is not so great without the struggle.

---

When the sun is shining I can do anything; no mountain is too high, no trouble too difficult to overcome.

---

I ran and ran and ran every day, and I acquired this sense of determination, this sense of spirit that I would never, never give up, no matter what else happened.

---

I don't know why I run so fast. I just run.

---

i thought I'd never get to see that. Florence Griffith Joyner -- every time she ran, I ran.

---

I tell them that the most important aspect is to be yourself and have confidence in yourself.

---

The feeling of accomplishment welled up inside of me, three Olympic gold medals. I knew that was something nobody could ever take away from me, ever.

---

I would be disappointed if I were remembered as a runner because I feelthat my contribution to the youth of America has far exceeded the woman who was the Olympic champion

---

The triumph can't be had without the struggle.

---

I believe in me more than anything in this world.
