Chasing records doesn't keep me on my bike. Happiness does.
Lance Armstrong

When I was sick, I didn't want to die. When I race, I don't want to lose. Dying and losing, it's the same thing.
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
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
Image
It's nice to win. I'll never win again. I may have to take up golf - take on Tiger.
Lance Armstrong
Image
Everybody wants to know what I'm on. What am I on? I'm on my bike busting my ass six hours a day. What are you on?
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
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
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.
