You have to free your mind to do things you wouldn't think of doing. Don't ever say no.

At the end of the day, if you're a professional athlete in track and field you are the CEO of your company.

Life is about timing.

Track and field is the best way to reach out for kids. It doesn't matter how fast you are. You always want to beat someone.

To this day, most people think of me as the fastest human. They don't really think me as a long jumper, although that's the event I had more success in.

From Carl Lewis

People have a moral standard about what they will do and will not do. At the end of the day someone who cheats has a lower moral standard than someone who does not. And they will cheat in other areas of life as well.

From Carl Lewis

'm so fortunate to have done what I love to do for so long, but the day I retired was one of the best days of my life. Not because I was happy to get away from the sport, but because it was clear in my mind that I had done all I possibly could, and that it was time to go.

From Carl Lewis

From Carl Lewis

The best kids are going to become the best. But the best thing about it is that you're going to learn lessons in playing those sports about winning and losing and teamwork and teammates and arguments and everything else that are going to affect you positively for the rest of your life.

From Carl Lewis

The trials on the road to world harmony are no greater than the courage of those who accept the challenge.
