More quotes by Lance Armstrong

Image
A bike ride. Yes, that's it! A simple bike ride. It's what I love to do and most days I can't believe they pay me to do it. A day is not the same without it.
Lance Armstrong
Image
When I made the decision - when my team-mates made that decision, when the whole peloton made that decision - it was a bad decision and an imperfect time. But it happened.
Lance Armstrong
Image
I have never doped. I can say it again, but I've said it for seven years.
Lance Armstrong
Image
What is stronger, fear or hope?
Lance Armstrong
Image
That was my decision, so I have to be responsible for that. It was one of the biggest mistakes of my life and I don't have a good reason for why I wanted to come back, I don't have a good reason for doing it all.
Lance Armstrong
Image
We sped on, across the plains, toward Metz. I hung back, saving myself. It is called the Race of Truth. The early stages separate the strong riders from the weak. Now the weak would be eliminated altogether.
Lance Armstrong
Image
Pain is temporary. Eventually it will subside. If I quit, however, the surrender stays with me.
Lance Armstrong
Image
The truth is, if you asked me to choose between winning the Tour de France and cancer, I would choose cancer. Odd as it sounds, I would rather have the title of cancer survivor than winner of the Tour, because of what it has done for me as a human being, a man, a husband, a son, and a father.

Twenty-plus-year career, 500 drug controls worldwide, in and out of competition. Never a failed test. I rest my case.
Lance Armstrong
Image
Hope that is the only antidote to fear.
Lance Armstrong
Image
Your past forms you, whether you like it or not. Each encounter and experience has its own effect, and you're shaped the way the wind shapes a mesquite tree on a plain.
Lance Armstrong
Image
When I was sick, I didn't want to die. When I race, I don't want to lose. Dying and losing, it's the same thing.
Lance Armstrong
Image
My greatest point is my persistence... However down I am, I fight until the last ball.
Lance Armstrong
Image
I may be in timeout forever. But I hope not to be.
Lance Armstrong
Image
You can teach someone how to control their strength, but you can't teach them to be strong.
Lance Armstrong
Image
I spent a long time trying to build up an organisation [the Lance Armstrong Foundation that changed its name to Livestrong after his confession] to help a lot of people.

The riskiest thing you can do is get greedy.
Lance Armstrong
Image
The ban doesn't have anything to do with Livestrong or my ability to work in [the cancer] community. Perhaps it speeds it up. I don't know the examples in Great Britain of athletes who have fallen. I know the examples in the United States - the Tiger Woods, the Michael Vicks, even the Bill Clintons - people who are still out there able to work.

The way you live your life, the perspective you select, is a choice you make every single day when you wake up. It's yours to decide.

I didn't invent the culture, but I didn't try to stop the culture.
