"Modesty should be typical of the success of a champion."
Success
"Realizing full well that fine condition and confidence will not in themselves make a champion, it is my belief, however, that they are essential factors."
Trust
"An athlete must have ability to reach the top, but many who have ability and who do not live clean lives never have and never will be champions for obvious reasons."
Ability
"I can hardly express in words my deep feeling and sympathy for them, knowing as I do, the many serious handicaps and obstacles that will confront them in almost every walk of life."
Life
"I know that a good many champions have entertained the thought that the more they discourage youngsters, the longer they would reign. However, this theory never impressed me, and I always made it a point to give youths the benefit of my experience in bicycle racing."
Experience
"In closing I wish to say that while I was sorely beset by a number of white riders in my racing days, I have also enjoyed the friendship of countless thousands of white men whom I class as among my closest friends."
Friendship
"I pray they will carry on in spite of that dreadful monster prejudice, and with patience, courage, fortitude and perseverance achieve success for themselves."
Success
"As a reward of their clean living and good habits these great stars have been able to withstand the rigorous test of stamina and physical exertion and have thus successfully extended their most remarkable careers over a period of many strenuous years."
Career
"I would advise all youths aspiring to athletic fame or a professional career to practice clean living, fair play and good sportsmanship."
Career
"I have also noticed that when a rider who had confidence in his ability was defeated, after doing his level best to win, always received an ovation from the gathering."
