I must create a system or be enslaved by another mans; I will not reason and compare: my business is to create.
William Blake

Business, Another, Reason

Prayer is mans greatest power!
W. Clement Stone

Power, Greatest, Prayer

My last race was at Le Mans in 2000, my first race was in 1959, so I dodged a lot of bullets along the way, I can tell you that.
Mario Andretti

Tell, Last, Along

And new Philosophy calls all in doubt, the element of fire is quite put out; the Sun is lost, and the earth, and no mans wit can well direct him where to look for it.
John Donne

Fire, Lost, Doubt

'Le Mans' is the only racing movie that is totally realistic.
Jenson Button

Movie, Racing, Realistic

I drove long distances like the 24 hours of Le Mans for years. But even this racing is now over. I retired.
Jacky Ickx

Long, Racing, Hours

Any finish at Le Mans is great but every time I go to Le Mans my mission is to win.
Tom Kristensen

Time, Great, Win

Le Mans takes the best out of everyone. Winning is important but it's not everything. It's such a big and great event in motorsport. You do more kilometres in that one race than Formula One do in a season, and probably a higher average speed. We average about 220km/h including pit stops and cover nearly 5000km.
Tom Kristensen

Great, Best, Important

The trick at Le Mans is to get the car 'in the window.' Everything is critical: the tyre pressure, the brake temperature, and that means you have to push the car a lot to get it into the window - it's about getting everything to work right and getting the car to flow through the corners.
Tom Kristensen

Work, Car, Everything

Yes, with Le Mans, obviously, the approach needs to be different. You have a race only once a year, so in the whole focus, the whole energy, you know that you cannot change the world and have a race two weeks later.
Tom Kristensen

Change, Focus, Different

I never had any financial support or sponsors, and so I always had to, at every level, prove myself the hard way. I was five years in Japan before I got my debut at Le Mans. And I think this is a humble way to get through as a racing driver.
Tom Kristensen

Humble, Hard, Through

Le Mans is such a great race because you can never do anything alone. You have to work as a team member. And being a team member makes you a better person.
Tom Kristensen

Work, Great, Alone
