by I must confess that I have been inspired by the athletes competing in this year’s Olympic Games from Rio. As my small contribution to the competitive spirit, here are twelve quotes by Olympians to motivate you to make this weekend a productive one.

4. “Every accomplishment starts with the decision to try.” – Gail Devers
5. “If you dream and you allow yourself to dream, you can do anything.” – Clara Hughes
6. “He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life” – Muhammad Ali
7. “If you fail to prepare, you’re prepared to fail.” – Mark Spitz
8. “Never put an age limit on your dream.” – Dara Torres
9. “When anyone tells me I can’t do anything, I’m just not listening anymore.” – Florence Griffith Joyner
