I believe in me more than anything in this world.

---

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.

---

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

---

I'm in my prime. There's no goal too far, no mountain too high.

---

It doesn't matter what you're trying to accomplish. It's all a matter of discipline. I was determined to discover what life held for me beyond the inner-city streets.

---

i had a series of childhood illnesses... scarlet fever.... pneumonia.... Polio. I walked with braces until I was at least nine years old. My life wasn't like the average person who grew up and decided to enter the world of sports.

---

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.

---

The triumph can't be had without the struggle.

---

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

---

The potential for greatness lives within us all.
