Pierre de Coubertin: Frasi in inglese

“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.”

As quoted in The Olympian (1984) by Peter L. Dixon, p. 210
Contesto: 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.

“A better world could be brought about only by better individuals.”

As quoted in "Attaining the Ideals", in 'Awake!' magazine (8 September 2000)

“Winning medals wasn’t the point of the Olympics. It’s the participating that counts.”

As quoted in "The Olympics — Where Are They Headed?", in 'Awake!' magazine (8 February 1977)
