Pain is temporary. Eventually it will subside. If I quit, however, the surrender stays with me.
Lance Armstrong
Image
Cancer taught me a plan for more purposeful living, and that in turn taught me how to train and to win more purposefully. It taught me that pain has a reason, and that sometimes the experience of losing things-whether health or a car or an old sense of self-has its own value in the scheme of life. Pain and loss are great enhancers.

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
I'm not willing to put a percentage on the chances but I will no longer rule it out.
Lance Armstrong
Image
It's a fact that children with cancer have higher cure rates than adults with cancer, and I wonder if the reason is their natural, unthinking bravery... Adults know too much about failure they're more cynical and resigned and fearful.
Lance Armstrong
Image
Twenty-plus-year career, 500 drug controls worldwide, in and out of competition. Never a failed test. I rest my case.
Lance Armstrong
Image
Well, you better ride like you stole something 'cause you are about to win a stage in the Tour de Fance.
Lance Armstrong
Image
One of the redeeming things about being an athlete is redefining what is humanly possible.
Lance Armstrong
Image
My house is burned, but I can see the sky.
Lance Armstrong
Image
I want to die at a hundred years old with an American flag on my back and the star of Texas on my helmet, after screaming down an Alpine descent on a bicycle at 75 miles per hour.
Lance Armstrong
Image
I will spend the rest of my life trying to earn back trust and apologize to people.
Lance Armstrong
Image
If a script writer had come up with a story resembling what you have just achieved, even the Hollywood studios would have refused.
Lance Armstrong
Image
I know what happened to cycling from 1999 to 2005. I saw its growth, I saw its expansion.
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.
