More quotes by Lance Armstrong
The Europeans look down on raising your hands. They don't like the end-zone dance. I think that's unfortunate. That feeling - the finish line, the last couple of meters - is what motivates me.
Lance Armstrong
No one automatically gives you respect just because you show up. You have to earn it
Lance Armstrong
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.
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 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.
Lance Armstrong
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
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
If life gives you lemons, drink the juice in order to mask the presence of performing-enhancing drugs.
Lance Armstrong
A boo is a lot louder than a cheer.
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
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
A bike ride. Yes, that's it! A simple bike ride. It's what I love to do and most days I can't believe they pay me to do it. A day is not the same without it.
Lance Armstrong
It works better for me to be nervous and hungry.
Lance Armstrong
What makes a great endurance athlete is the ability to absorb potential embarrassment, and to suffer without complaint.
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
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
Portland, Oregon won't build a mile of road without a mile of bike path. You can commute there, even with that weather, all the time.
Lance Armstrong
We have unrealized capacities that sometimes only emerge in crisis.
Lance Armstrong
The riskiest thing you can do is get greedy.

On a friendship with former president George W. Bush: He's a personal friend, but we've all got the right not to agree with our friends.
