In the Olympic Oath， I ask for only one thing: sporting loyalty.
In no way can sport be considered a luxury object.
The important thing in life is not the triumph but the struggle.
The Olympic Games are the quadrennial celebration of the springtime of humanity.
Holding an Olympic Games means evoking history.
Sport is part of every man and woman's heritage and its absence can never be compensated for.
The essential thing is not to have conquered but to have fought well.
Racial distinctions should not play a role in sport.
The Olympic Games were created for the exhaltation of the individual athlete.
The Olympic Games are for the world and all nations must be admitted to them.
The strength of Olympism comes to it from that which is simply human， hence worldwide is its essence.
The six colors， including the white background， represent the colors of all the world's flags ... this is a true international emblem.
The essential thing in life is not so much conquering as fighting well.
Winning medals wasn't the point of the Olympics. It's the participating that counts.
The important thing in life is not victory but combat； it is not to have vanquished but to have fought well.
Olympism... exalting and combining in a balanced whole the qualities of body， mind and will.
