Wealthy men can't live in an island that is encircled by poverty. We all breathe the same air. We must give a chance to everyone, at least a basic chance.

More quotes by Ayrton Senna
These things bring you to reality as to how fragile you are at the same moment you are doing something that nobody else is able to do. The same moment that you are seen as the best, the fastest and somebody that cannot be touched, you are enormously fragile.
Ayrton Senna
I believe if you are doing something like competing, like motor racing, you either do well or forget it.
Ayrton Senna
On a given day, a given circumstance, you think you have a limit.
Ayrton Senna
I continuously go further and further learning about my own limitations, my body limitation, psychological limitations. It's a way of life for me.
Ayrton Senna
If a person has no dreams, they no longer have any reason to live. Dreaming is necessary, although in the dream reality should be glimpsed. For me this is a principle of life.
Ayrton Senna
You must take the compromise to win, or else nothing. That means: you race or you do not.
Ayrton Senna
It's important that the drivers stay together, because in difficult moments we have each other. If we are not together the financial and political interests of the organisers and constructors come to the fore.
Ayrton Senna
You will never know the feeling of a driver when winning a race. The helmet hides feelings that cannot be understood.
Ayrton Senna
Sometimes I try to beat other people's achievements but on many occasions I find it's better to beat my own achievements. That can give me more satisfaction. I don't feel happy if I am comfortable. Something inside me pushes me when I get comfortable. It makes me go farther and I want to keep pushing.
Ayrton Senna
The harder I push, the more I find within myself. I am always looking for the next step, a different world to go into, areas where I have not been before. It's lonely driving a Grand Prix car, but very absorbing. I have experienced new sensations, and I want more. That is my excitement, my motivation.
Ayrton Senna
It's going to be a season with lots of accidents, and I'll risk saying that we'll be lucky if something really serious doesn't happen.
Ayrton Senna
The danger sensation is exciting. The challenge is to find new dangers.
Ayrton Senna
The main thing is to be yourself. Many times its through a mistake that you learn. And the main thing is to make sure you learn through your mistakes and get better.
Ayrton Senna
I believe that we start to see our true personalities when we go through the most difficult moments. This is when we get stronger
Ayrton Senna
Each driver has its limit. My limit is a little bit further than others.
Ayrton Senna
Once you are in it you are in it, you have to go all the way to the end because you commit yourself to such a level where there is no compromise. You give everything you have absolutely everything. Sometimes you find even more because you require more if you want to stay ahead and you want to win.
Ayrton Senna
I believe in the ability of focusing strongly in something, then you are able to extract even more out of it. It's been like this all my life, and it's been only a question of improving it, and learning more and more and there is almost no end. As you go through you just keep finding more and more. It's very interesting, it's fascinating.
Ayrton Senna
Women - always in trouble with them, but can't live without them.
Ayrton Senna
Fear is exciting for me.
Ayrton Senna
I cannot live on an island of prosperity when I'm surrounded by a sea of misery.
Ayrton Senna
