Aimee Mullins Quotes

Belief in oneself is incredibly infectious. It generates momentum, the collective force of which far outweighs any kernel of self-doubt that may creep in Picture Quote #1

I think that everyone has something about themselves that they feel is their weakness... their ‘disability.’ And I’m certain we all have one, because I think of a disability as being anything which undermines our belief and confidence in our own abilities Picture Quote #1

I like that Pilates compromises the mind and body. It’s not just about being able to run around the block a few times. It’s about alleviating stress and controlling breathing. It’s about being balanced Picture Quote #1

In sports, I refused to do any interviews that were just going to become human-interest stories. Don’t turn me into a tragic heroine Picture Quote #1

I hate the words ‘handicapped’ and ‘disabled’. They imply that you are less than whole. I don’t see myself that way at all Picture Quote #1

I’m not an advocate for disability issues. Human issues are what interest me. You can’t possibly speak for a diverse group of people. I don’t know what it’s like to be an arm amputee, or have even one flesh-and-bone leg, or to have cerebral palsy Picture Quote #1

True beauty is when someone radiates that they like themselves Picture Quote #1

Sure, I’d love to have children some day. But world domination comes first Picture Quote #1

If left to their own devices a child will achieve Picture Quote #1

Adversity is just change that we haven’t adapted ourselves to yet Picture Quote #1

I’m not an advocate for disability issues. Human issues are what interest me Picture Quote #1

The only true disability is a crushed spirit Picture Quote #1

Adversity isn’t an obstacle that we need to get around in order to resume living our life. It’s part of our life Picture Quote #1

For me, I never ever felt the ownership or any identity with any community of disabilities. I didn’t grow up being told that I was a disabled child Picture Quote #1

People presume my disability has to do with being an amputee, but that’s not the case; our insecurities are our disabilities, and I struggle with those as does everyone Picture Quote #1

I’m not running around as a continual ray of sunshine. It’s just I don’t believe in wasting time feeling sorry for myself. Get over it Picture Quote #1

I’ve said this before, but I believe more than ever that confidence is sexier than any body part Picture Quote #1

It’s hard enough for women to walk on high heels. And I’m on stilts! Picture Quote #1

Confidence is the sexiest thing a woman can have. It’s much sexier than any body part Picture Quote #1

Giving up is conceding that things will never get better, and that is just not true. Ups and downs are a constant in life, and I’ve been belted into that roller coaster a thousand times Picture Quote #1

I have learned not to overlook the advantages of being me. From when I was a softball player, and I held the stolen bases record. I would slide into second with my prostheses, and the girl on the base could either step aside or meet two wooden sticks Picture Quote #1

The power of the human will to compete and the drive to excel beyond the body’s normal capabilities is most beautifully demonstrated in the arena of sport Picture Quote #1

An athlete experiences the emotions of pain and elation through triumph and defeat, through teamwork and individuality, as nothing more than a human being... that is the true glory of sport Picture Quote #1

Success isn’t winning every time. A lot of different factors go into every race, and you can’t control all of them. Success means doing as excellent a job as you can on that particular day. The people I admire most aren’t necessarily the most wonderful athletes. I admire the ones who keep coming back and doing it, time after time Picture Quote #1

Everyone is really afraid of getting out there and not being good. That’s the challenge: To be afraid and know people are staring at you and know you might not do all that well, but you do it anyway. What singles out the successful athlete from the ones who never make it past a plateau, it that successful athletes risk failure, even though they are terrified Picture Quote #1

Our responsibility is not simply shielding those we care for from adversity but preparing them to meet it well Picture Quote #1

It’s society that disables an individual by not investing in enough creativity to allow for someone to show us the quality that makes them rare and valuable and capable Picture Quote #1

If we want to discover the full potential in our humanity, we need to celebrate those heartbreaking strengths and those glorious disabilities that we all have... it is our humanity, and all the potential within it that makes us beautiful Picture Quote #1

The idea of prosthetics is a tool. Most peoples cell phones are prosthetics. If you leave your cell phone at home, you feel impacted by not having it. Its an important part of your daily function and what you can do in a day Picture Quote #1

Interestingly, from an identity standpoint, what does it mean to have a disability? Pamela anderson has more prosthetic in her body than I do and nobody calls her disabled Picture Quote #1
