Mario Andretti
The experts or the cynics say, Oh, those were the good old days, that's when drivers were really drivers. They didn't have all these aids. You know what? What we had, we did the best with and when we got more we provided what was needed.
Mario Andretti
Love what you do. Believe in your instincts. And you'd better be able to pick yourself up and brush yourself off every day.
Mario Andretti
Desire is the key to motivation, but it's determination and commitment to an unrelenting pursuit of your goal - a commitment to excellence - that will enable you to attain the success you seek.
Mario Andretti
Unfortunately, we don't educate drivers enough to be respectful on the road.
Mario Andretti
I count my blessings every day, quite honestly, because I take nothing for granted.
Mario Andretti
The only thing that happens if you wait, is that you get older.

Nobody is born with a steering wheel or a gear shift in his hand. It's something you choose to do or you don't.
