I figure the faster I pedal, the faster I can retire.
Lance Armstrong
Image
It's tougher for me. But I don't think that's imperative to me starting a new movement, or revive an old movement, to help people.
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.
Lance Armstrong
Image
My ruthless desire to win at all costs served me well on the bike but the level it went to, for whatever reason, is a flaw. That desire, that attitude, that arrogance.

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.

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

Winning is about heart, not just legs. It's got to be in the right place.
Lance Armstrong

What makes a great endurance athlete is the ability to absorb potential embarrassment, and to suffer without complaint.

I love this race from the very depths of my heart. It gives me motivation and it transcendsme like nothing else in the world.
Lance Armstrong
Image
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.
Lance Armstrong
Image
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
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
For 15 years I was a complete arsehole to a dozen people. I said I would try and make it right with those people, and anybody that gave me an audience, I was there.
Lance Armstrong
Image
Fear is priceless education.
Lance Armstrong
Image
It's simple. Success comes from training harder, living better and digging deeper than the others.
Lance Armstrong
Image
So if there is a purpose to the suffering that is cancer, I think it must be this: it's meant to improve us.
Lance Armstrong
Image
I have never had a single positive doping test, and I do not take performance-enhancing drugs.

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.
