Quotes and Aphorisms 06/20/2018
We are all looking forward to summer. After all, summer is a vacation, it’s the sea and the beach. The only thing that can slightly darken our mood is our body’s unpreparedness for the summer season. There are many ways to ensure that our reflection in the mirror always pleases us. Today I would like to talk about one of them, namely sports and fitness.
Physical exercise is not only good for our body, it gives an incredible boost of vivacity, optimism, improves mood, develops perseverance and the ability to overcome difficulties. All this is aptly and accurately stated in quotes and aphorisms about sports.
Strength of body is strength of spirit
Sports and physical activity are necessary for full human development and health - this is a fact. It was recognized by the ancient Greeks, because it was not for nothing that the Olympic Games played such an important role in their lives. The sages of antiquity valued the role of physical exercise so highly that they placed it on a par with science and art. This is exactly what is said in their wise quotes and aphorisms about sports.
“Gymnastics, physical exercise, and walking should become firmly established in the daily life of everyone who wants to maintain efficiency, health, and a full and joyful life.”

Sport - is life
We have all heard the saying more than once that sport is life. And indeed it is. After all, physical activity is movement, it is energy, it is vigor of spirit and body. Regular fitness classes help increase mental activity, improve performance and productivity. And this is clearly reflected in the quotes that sport is life.

In sports, as in any other business, the first step is important. Are you determined to change your life? This is already half the battle! The main thing is not to put it off until tomorrow or Monday. Start today, now. And our selection of quotes and aphorisms about sports and motivation will help you with this.

Gymnast Larisa Latynina has nine gold, five silver and four bronze Olympic medals. Her name is included in the Guinness Book of Records and in the list of outstanding athletes that adorns the Olympic Hall of Fame in New York.
Never think that you have lost a competition if you still have one last exercise left.
Latynina became the world champion while she was four weeks pregnant. And just two months after giving birth, she returned to sports again.
One day, while performing a difficult jump on a log, I landed on top of it and broke my tailbone. As a result, I couldn’t sit for a month and stood against the wall during lectures at the institute. But I didn't cry. You can cry from pain, resentment, even from fatigue, but I never cried - neither in training nor in competitions.

About sport with meaning
All the wise words spoken about fitness and physical activity apply to more than just sports. In life, we will often need perseverance and the will to win, the ability not to give up, despite failures and losses. How exactly this is said about this in quotes and aphorisms about sports with meaning.
“Sport does not develop character, but reveals it.”
Heywood Brown
“Impossible is just a big word behind which little people hide. It is easier for them to live in the familiar world than to find the strength to change something. The impossible is not a fact. This is just an opinion. The impossible is not a sentence. It's a challenge. The impossible is a chance to prove yourself. Impossible - this is not forever. The impossible is possible."
Muhammad Ali
“Do you want to be healthy, but are you lazy? You are as stupid as a speaker who wants to improve his voice by silence!
“Life is a struggle with our eternal desire to bury our heads in the sand, calm down and fold our arms. If your goal is a minimum of movements, then let laziness take the reins. If you strive for growth, for development, every morning be ready to face a new day, where there is no place for sleep and laziness.”
Henry Ford
“After all, boxing is not a fight - it’s a sport of brave people...”
Vladimir Vysotsky
“If we don’t take care of our body, then where will we live?”
“In life, like in boxing: the main thing is not how hard you strike, but how hard the blow you can withstand.”
“He who does not have a goal finds no joy in any activity.”
“Horses harnessed to a chariot run faster than alone, not because with their combined efforts they cut through the air more easily, but because they are fueled by competition and rivalry with each other.”
Lev Yashin
Anyone who wants to achieve convincing victories must try to jump above his head
Olympic champion and World Cup bronze medalist Lev Yashin was the only goalkeeper to ever receive the Golden Ball, a prize awarded annually to the best European football player. This man knew what it meant to not give up. When at the very beginning of Yashin’s career, football did not work out, he did not leave the sport, switched to hockey and even achieved serious success there - he won the USSR Cup.
Any, even the happiest finish is only a precursor to the next start, and past victories, no matter how significant they may be, do not provide any additional privileges.
Great athletes about sports
People associated with sports know that sometimes it seems that this is all, this is the limit, I can’t do more, I won’t be able to... When you need to mobilize for a breakthrough, gather your thoughts and strength, it helps a lot to remember the words of those who are faced with overcoming ourselves almost daily. Quotes about motivation for sports from famous athletes once again remind us that for a person who has firmly set a goal, nothing is impossible.
“If I'm not in the mood to work out, I'll never drink another cup of coffee or wait an extra half hour. I'll go for a run right away. The longer you put it off, the harder it is to start.”
Shane Culpepper, runner, two-time Olympic champion
“I play the same way in every match – as if it’s a final.”
Lionel Messi, football player, world champion and Olympic champion
“If you want to be better than others, then be prepared to do what others don’t want to do.”

“I missed 9,000 times in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times I was entrusted with the decisive shot and missed. I failed again and again. And that’s why I was successful.”
“When you go towards a goal, an obstacle stands in your way. I've encountered them, everyone has. But don't let obstacles stop you. When faced with a wall, do not turn back, do not retreat. Find a way to overcome this barrier, work on it.”
Michael Jordan, basketball player, two-time Olympic champion
“The most difficult fight is when you have to fight laziness for happiness.”

“As long as you still have a try, you haven’t lost.”
Sergei Bubka, track and field athlete, six-time world champion, Olympic champion
Mike Tyson
If a person gets up after falling, it's not physics, it's character.
Mike Tyson, from the age of ten, helped his older comrades steal, and suffered beatings at home. Mike decided to become a boxer when he was 13, and won his first victory in the ring at 15.
Without discipline you are nothing! Someday you'll meet a tough guy who can take your best hits. And he will continue to advance because he is strong. Do not lose your fortitude and courage. This is the time when discipline comes into play.
Tyson will face problems with the law, he will be treated for alcohol and drug addiction. Nevertheless, “Iron Mike” would become one of the most famous boxers in the world and set several world records.
The coach always told me: “You have to beat everyone, you are able to do it, but what happens when they beat you, can you handle it?” And I know I can.
Sports are back in fashion
Nowadays, a correct and healthy lifestyle, so to speak, is in fashion. And that is great! Sports have become much more accessible; there are a lot of clubs and halls for every taste and budget, where you can choose an activity to suit your taste, be it a gym, aerobics, dancing or Pilates. And if you prefer privacy, then you can do all this at home while listening to your favorite music. All this, of course, will have the best effect on your well-being. After all, there is nothing more valuable than health, which, as we know, money cannot buy. This is exactly what will be discussed in this selection of wise quotes about sports and a healthy lifestyle.

I want to emphasize once again: it is not morning exercises, not even sports activities 2 times a week, but a constant round-the-clock culture of attitude towards oneself, an optimal lifestyle that makes a person’s existence complete.”
Oleg Antonov
“A healthy mind in a healthy body is a short but complete description of a happy state in this world.”
