Find the good. It’s all around you. Find it, showcase it and you’ll start believing in it  (Jesse Owens Quotes) It’s like having a pet dog for a long time. You get attached to it, and when it dies you miss it.  (Jesse Owens Quotes) I fought, I fought harder . . . but one cell at a time, panic crept into my body, taking me over  (Jesse Owens Quotes) Running is real. It’s all joy and woe, hard as diamond. It makes you weary beyond comprehension, but it also makes you free.  (Jesse Owens Quotes) The battles that count aren’t the ones for gold medals. The struggles within yourself - the invisible, inevitable battles inside all of us - that’s where it’s at.  (Jesse Owens Quotes) I always loved running.... It was something you could do by yourself and under your own power.  (Jesse Owens Quotes) It was bad enough to have toppled from the Olympic heights to make my living competing with animals. But the competition wasn’t even fair. No man could beat a race horse, not even for 100 yards  (Jesse Owens Quotes) When I came back, after all those stories about Hitler and his snub, I came back to my native country, and I could not ride in the front of the bus. I had to go to the back door. I couldn’t live where I wanted. Now what’s the difference?  (Jesse Owens Quotes) In the end, it’s extra effort that separates a winner from second place. But winning takes a lot more that that, too. It starts with complete command of the fundamentals. Then it takes desire, determination, discipline, and self-sacrifice. And finally, it takes a great deal of love, fairness and respect for your fellow man. Put all these together, and even if you don’t win, how can you lose?  (Jesse Owens Quotes) I wanted no part of politics. And I wasn’t in Berlin to compete against any one athlete. The purpose of the Olympics, anyway, was to do your best. As I’d learned long ago from Charles Riley, the only victory that counts is the one over yourself  (Jesse Owens Quotes) Joe Louis and I were the first modern national sports figures who were black... But neither of us could do national advertising because the South wouldn’t buy it. That was the social stigma we lived under  (Jesse Owens Quotes) The battles that count aren’t the ones for gold medals. The struggles within yourself - the invisible, inevitable battles inside all of us - that’s where it’s at  (Jesse Owens Quotes) If you don’t try to win you might as well hold the Olympics in somebody’s back yard. The thrill of competing carries with it the thrill of a gold medal. One wants to win to prove himself the best  (Jesse Owens Quotes) Although I wasn’t invited to shake hands with Hitler, I wasn’t invited to the White House to shake hands with the President either  (Jesse Owens Quotes) We all have dreams. But in order to make dreams come into reality, it takes an awful lot of determination, dedication, self-discipline, and effort  (Jesse Owens Quotes) Another old friend gone!  (Jesse Owens Quotes) I had four gold medals, but you can’t eat four gold medals  (Jesse Owens Quotes) A lifetime of training for just ten seconds  (Jesse Owens Quotes) For a time, at least, I was the most famous person in the entire world  (Jesse Owens Quotes) Awards become corroded, friends gather no dust  (Jesse Owens Quotes) Life doesn’t give you all the practice races you need  (Jesse Owens Quotes) One chance is all you need  (Jesse Owens Quotes) The only bond worth anything between human beings is their humanness  (Jesse Owens Quotes) It all goes so fast, and character makes the difference when it’s close  (Jesse Owens Quotes) The only victory that counts is the one over yourself  (Jesse Owens Quotes) He was constantly on me about the job that I was to do and the responsibility that I had upon the campus. And how I must be able to carry myself because people were looking  (Jesse Owens Quotes) The secret is, first, get a thoroughbred horse because they are the most nervous animals on earth. Then get the biggest gun you can find and make sure the starter fires that big gun right by the nervous thoroughbred’s ear  (Jesse Owens Quotes) The lives of most men are patchwork quilts. Or at best one matching outfit with a closet and laundry bag full of incongruous accumulations. A lifetime of training for just ten seconds  (Jesse Owens Quotes) I always loved running... It was something you could do by yourself and under your own power  (Jesse Owens Quotes) Friendships born on the field of athletic strife are the real gold of competition. Awards become corroded, friends gather no dust  (Jesse Owens Quotes)
