Having a home away from the media glare is important to world-class athletes.
Mary Lou Retton

I always liked serve-and-volley players and big athletes.
Richard Krajicek

I am always fighting inside the Council to get the message across that at each competition venue, we should send somebody to inspect and to make sure the athletes will be looked after in a correct manner.
Alberto Juantorena

I am thrilled yet overwhelmed. There are so many great women athletes, some incredible performances.
Nancy Greene

I do not think athletes should get a free pass. I don't think we should train our children and future athletes to believe that they are above the law and morality.
Armstrong Williams

I don't think there are really enough meetings in Britain for our athletes to compete properly, and because of this a lot of the talent we have has been stunted.
Linford Christie

I feel sorry sometimes for these sportsmen and women who put in just as much effort as the footballers. For example, athletes train at least as hard as footballers but have to be happy if they can earn enough to finance a decent education.
Angela Merkel

I firmly believe that all human beings have access to extraordinary energies and powers. Judging from accounts of mystical experience, heightened creativity, or exceptional performance by athletes and artists, we harbor a greater life than we know.
Jean Houston

I had a great interest in sports. I had three older brothers who were great athletes. I was not.
George J. Mitchell

I have a hard time believing athletes are overpriced. If an owner is losing money, give it up. It's a business. I have trouble figuring out why owners would stay in if they're losing money.
Reggie Jackson

I have got better things to do in working with my athletes who I feel are going to be involved in 2012.
Linford Christie

I have read many studies out of the Karolinska Institute in Sweden and they demonstrated that Vitamin E, Co-Q-10, and Fish Oil could protect the immune system of athletes and prevent disease.
Bill Toomey

I have spoken with many former athletes, and they tell me the best time they had was in sports. I listen to them and use their experience in my career.
Sergei Bubka

I know a lot of athletes and models are written off as just bodies. I never felt used for my body.
Arnold Schwarzenegger

I long for the days when athletes were revered. I want to see the romance return to sports, to see people enjoy the game purely for the game and the players.
Mike Piazza

I love watching a good horse do what he's bred to do - I guess that's what I like the most about it. And I love to see good athletes do what they're bred to do.
Wilford Brimley

I mean, the greatest athletes in the world are African-American.
Larry Bird

I think exercise tests us in so many ways, our skills, our hearts, our ability to bounce back after setbacks. This is the inner beauty of sports and competition, and it can serve us all well as adult athletes.
Peggy Fleming

I think marriage and athletes is a bad combination.
Dennis Rodman

I think the athletes respond well to me because I have been successful.
