Sports Quotes

Welcome to my sports quotes page. You know there is something about sports victories. They send such a feeling of achievement and the impossible becoming possible in all of us. You have probably seen some sports feat whether on TV or in person which has moved you.



What I love about sports achievement is how they inspire us non sports people. You know what I mean. When you see your favorite team winning when it seemed impossible. You are motivated to go for your dreams as well. Please enjoy the following sports quotes which fill me with such hope in the future.

• Sport is where an entire life can be compressed into a few hours, where the emotions of a lifetime can be felt on an acre or two of ground, where a person can suffer and die and rise again on six miles of trails through a New York City park. Sport is a theater where sinner can turn saint and a common man become an uncommon hero, where the past and the future can fuse with the present. Sport is singularly able to give us peak experiences where we feel completely one with the world and transcend all conflicts as we finally become our own potential.
  George A. Sheehan


• Winning is overrated. The only time it is really important is in surgery and war.
