More quotes by Lance Armstrong
I didn't live a lot of lies, but I lived one big one.
Lance Armstrong
I figure the faster I pedal, the faster I can retire.
Lance Armstrong
Regardless of one victory, two victories, four victories, there's never been a victory by a cancer survivor. That's a fact that hopefully I'll be remembered for.
Lance Armstrong
At least I didn't invent a dead girlfriend
Lance Armstrong
Winning is about heart, not just legs. It's got to be in the right place.
Lance Armstrong
Nobody wants to hear how I think I've been mistreated, or how I think my punishment should be lifted, or tweaked, or reduced. Nobody wants to hear me say that, nobody cares what I think about this. I get it.
Lance Armstrong
I know what happened to my foundation, from raising no money to raising $500m, serving three million people. Do we want to take that away? I don't think anybody says yes.
Lance Armstrong
I've given gifts in the Tour de France and it's come back to bit me. So no gifts.
Lance Armstrong
My mother told me...if you're going to get anywhere, you're going to have to do it yourself, because no one is going to do it for you.
Lance Armstrong
Hope that is the only antidote to fear.
Lance Armstrong
I wanted to win the Tour de France. And when I won it once, I wanted to do it again, and again, and again, it just kept going. So there wasn't another competitive environment.
Lance Armstrong
The answer is hard work. What are you doing on Christmas Eve? Are you riding your bike? January 1st - are you riding your bike?
Lance Armstrong
I have never had a single positive doping test, and I do not take performance-enhancing drugs.
Lance Armstrong
I am flawed, deeply flawed. I didn't invent the [doping] culture but I didn't try to stop the culture and that's my mistake, and that's what I have to be sorry for.
Lance Armstrong
During our lives...we experience so many setbacks, and fight such a hand-to-hand battle with failure, head down in the rain, just trying to stay upright and to have a little hope.
Lance Armstrong
I'm sorry you don't believe in miracles.
Lance Armstrong
It's frustrating in the sense that I still think I could be competing at some sport at a fairly high level, which nobody cares about. Nobody wants to hear me say that.
Lance Armstrong
What is stronger, fear or hope?
Lance Armstrong
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.
Lance Armstrong
We have unrealized capacities that sometimes only emerge in crisis.
Lance Armstrong
