"To me, the decathlon is its own little society and I am part of that culture."
Society
"You need to become more than one type of athlete. You have to be a sprinter, a weight man and a distance guy all in one."
Man
"As a young athlete, it was first about having fun; then it was about winning."
Winning
"Through everything I've gone through- and I've been everywhere, at the top of the world, in jail, hung over drunk - I never gave up my dream of winning a gold medal in the Olympics."
Dream
"It really means a lot that I won the gold medal - but I woke up the next morning expecting to feel different. I felt the same."
Gold
"The decathlon includes ten separate events and they all matter. You can't work on just one of them."
Work
"It took me time to realize that the men who won Olympic gold medals in the decathlon are just men, just like me."
Man
"I think what my parents did was perfect. They were strict, concerned about my safety and held me back just a little."
Parenting
"As a young child, I was never a crier. I never cried to get my way, or even when I was in pain."
Pain
"Take pride in exactly what it is you do and remember it's okay to fail as long as you don't give up."
Confidence

"We must stop expecting the government to play the role of national transformation why we sit down and watch."

"Show me a man or a woman alone and I'll show you a saint. Give me two and they'll fall in love. Give me three and they'll invent the charming thing we call 'society'. Give me four and they'll build a pyramid. Give me five and they'll make one an outcast. Give me six and they'll reinvent prejudice. Give me seven and in seven years they'll reinvent warfare. Man may have been made in the image of God, but human society was made in the image of His opposite number, and is always trying to get back home."
