Olympic



CITIUS, ALTIUS, FORTIUS


The olympic motto meaning, "Faster, Higher, Stronger".

Baron Pierre de Coubertin borrowed the motto from Father Henri Martin Didon, the headmaster of Arcueil College in Paris. Father Didon used the motto to descrie the great achievements of the athletes at his school.

I think it is perfect to describe the modern olympics.

THE OLYMPIC CREED


"The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not to win but to take part, just as the most important thing in life is not the triumph but the struggle. The essential thing is not to have conquered but to have fought well."
