Dan Gable - Wrestler (Olympic Gold Medallist and College Wrestling Coach)*

You can't ever work too much because there's no such thing as being in too good condition.  You can't ever lift too many weights because you can't ever get too strong.  You can't ever wrestle too much because you can always do better.  

Muhammad Ali - Professional Boxer*

Before I get in the ring, I'd have already won or lost it out on the road.  The real part is won or lost somewhere far away from witnesses-behind the lines, in the gym and out there on the road long before I dance under those lights.  

Henry Clay - American Statesman*

The time will come when winter will ask what you were doing all summer.

Dan Gable - Wrestler (Olympic Gold Medallist and College Wrestling Coach)*

When I'd get tired and want to stop, I'd wonder what my next opponent was doing.  I'd wonder if he was still working out.  I tried to visualize him.  When I could see him still working, I'd start pushing myself.  When I could see him in the shower, I'd push myself harder. 

Bob Richards - Pole Vaulter (Two time Olympic Gold Medallist)*

Ingenuity, plus courage, plus work, equals miracles.

If you want to be the person you ought to be, you've got to welcome competition.
