Your past forms you, whether you like it or not. Each encounter and experience has its own effect, and you're shaped the way the wind shapes a mesquite tree on a plain.

More quotes by 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
Knowledge is power, community is strength and positive attitude is everything
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
Average is Your Enemy.
Lance Armstrong
The body is telling the mind to stop. The mind is telling the body to shut up.
Lance Armstrong
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
I have never had a single positive doping test, and I do not take performance-enhancing drugs.
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
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.
Lance Armstrong
Fear is priceless education.
Lance Armstrong
I'm cycling to take cancer message worldwide.
Lance Armstrong
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
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
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
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.
Lance Armstrong
I'm not willing to put a percentage on the chances but I will no longer rule it out.
Lance Armstrong
A boo is a lot louder than a cheer, if you have 10 people cheering and one person booing, all you hear is the booing.
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
If there was a god, I'd still have both nuts.
Lance Armstrong
Hope that is the only antidote to fear.
