It works better for me to be nervous and hungry.
Lance Armstrong
Twenty-plus-year career, 500 drug controls worldwide, in and out of competition. Never a failed test. I rest my case.
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
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
Anything is possible. You can be told that you have a 90-percent chance or a 50-percent chance or a 1-percent chance, but you have to believe, and you have to fight.
Lance Armstrong

Lance Armstrong
Hope that is the only antidote to fear.
Lance Armstrong
I wanted to live, but whether I would or not was mystery, and in the midst of confronting that fact, even at that moment, I was beginning to sense that to stare into the heart of such a fearful mystery wasn't a bad thing. To be afraid is a priceless education. P 99
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
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
If I was racing in 2015, no, I wouldn't do it again because I don't think you have to. If you take me back to 1995, when doping was completely pervasive, I would probably do it again.
Lance Armstrong
The idea that anybody was forced, or pressured, or encouraged, is not true.
Lance Armstrong
Motivation can't take you very far if you don't have the legs.
Lance Armstrong
Pain is temporary. Eventually it will subside. If I quit, however, the surrender stays with me.
Lance Armstrong
But, listen, Eddie Merkyx would have won six Tours if he hadn't been punched.
Lance Armstrong
Knowledge is power, community is strength and positive attitude is everything
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.
