More quotes by Michael Phelps
The only reason I started swimming was for water safety. Then, once I started falling in love with sports, I got more comfortable with it.
Michael Phelps
And, you know, being able to wear the stars and stripes, when you step up on one of the blocks or, you know, when you step off of an airplane or when you hear the national anthem play, you know, it's one of the greatest feelings in the world because you know that there are people at home who are supporting you and watching you.
Michael Phelps

Michael Phelps
Being compared to Ian Thorpe, that could be one of the greatest compliments you could ever get in swimming - being compared to him and Mark Spitz.
Michael Phelps
We're all a little tired.
Michael Phelps
If you say can't you're restricting what you can do or ever will do.
Michael Phelps
Before, it came easy for me. I don't have two speeds anymore. I need to focus on the small things that I once took for granted.

Not having to travel and being able to settle in has helped me in training life and school life. I've learned to get a grip and take care of myself.
Michael Phelps
You can't put a limit anything.
