I love the winter Olympics, probably because of my cold Minnesota roots. I love cheering for my nation's athletes as they swoosh, glide, twirl and and luge their way to victory. To help you, your staff and your customers get in the spirit of the games; use these quotes in your marketing materials, presentations and electronic communications. During the 18 days of these Olympic Games add a quote to your outgoing voice mail message or email signature. Better yet, remind people that your parks and recreation programs have more than likely spared countless Olympic dreams past, present and future.

The Olympics remain the most compelling search for excellence that exists in sport, and maybe in life itself. ~Dawn Fraser
The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not winning but taking part; the essential thing in life is not conquering but fighting well. ~Pierre de Coubertin
For athletes, the Olympics are the ultimate test of their worth. ~Mary Lou Retton
The Olympic games should be a matter between individual athletes and the gods. Noisy flag-waving dishonors gods and men alike. ~Dave Beard
