Pierre de Coubertin Quote
The important thing in the Olympic Games is not to win, but to take part; the important thing in Life is not triumph, but the struggle; the essential thing is not to have conquered but to have fought well. To spread these principles is to build up a strong and more valiant and, above all, more scrupulous and more generous humanity.
As quoted in The Olympian (1984) by Peter L. Dixon, p. 210.
