No one automatically gives you respect just because you show up. You have to earn it
Lance Armstrong
Image
Nineteen hundred meters up there is completely different from1,900 any place else. There's no air, there's no oxygen. There's no vegetation, there's no life. There's no life. Rocks. Any other climb there's vegetation, grass and trees. Not there on the Ventoux. It's more like the moon than a mountain.

Fear is priceless education.
Lance Armstrong
Image
Pain is temporary. Eventually it will subside. If I quit, however, the surrender stays with me.
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
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
My mom was such a strong character. I don't want to say she was like a man, but she was tough.
Lance Armstrong
Image
I didn't invent the culture, but I didn't try to stop the culture.
Lance Armstrong
Image
I tried to control the narrative.
Lance Armstrong
Image
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
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.

Image
I guess if a person never quit when the going got tough, they wouldn't have anything to regret for the rest of their life.
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
The unwillingness to accept anything short of victory, that underlying fury, is the fundamental building block of my bottomless motivation to succeed. It is my credo in all that I do in life from battling cancer to bicycle racing.
Lance Armstrong
Image
It's ironic, I used to ride my bike to make a living. Now I just want to live so that I can ride.
Lance Armstrong
Image
My greatest point is my persistence... However down I am, I fight until the last ball.
Lance Armstrong
Image
My career is going to be played out year by year. Will I be here in 2004? I don't know. The record won't keep me here. Happiness will.
Lance Armstrong
Image
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
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 can get up in the morning and look myself in the mirror and my family can look at me too and that's all that matters.
