Pierre de Coubertin (French - Leader)
January 1, 1863 - September 2, 1937
The Olympic Movement gives the world an ideal which reckons with the reality of life, and includes a possibility to guide this reality toward the great Olympic Idea.
In our view the Olympic idea involves a strong physical culture supplemented on the one hand by mobility, what is so aptly called 'fair play', and on the other hand by aesthetics, that is the cultivation of what is beautiful and graceful.
All sports for all people.
May joy and good fellowship reign, and in this manner, may the Olympic Torch pursue its way through ages, increasing friendly understanding among nations, for the good of a humanity always more enthusiastic, more courageous and more pure.
All sports must be treated on the basis of equality.
The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not winning but taking part; the essential thing in life is not conquering but fighting well.
The important thing in life is not to triumph but to compete.
The important thing in life is not victory but combat; it is not to have vanquished but to have fought well.
For me sport was a religion... with religious sentiment.
For each individual, sport is a possible source for inner improvement.
