Text Quotes
You can never give up or get down on yourself. A true champion keeps his or her chin up and always takes life one race at a time.  (Gail Devers Quotes) We go old - school during the summer, like swimming or setting up lemonade stands. I try to teach my kids to make their own fun  (Gail Devers Quotes) I find motivation within myself. I run track not from a competitive Nature, but because I’m a very goal-oriented person  (Gail Devers Quotes) I always said a prayer before I ran, and my prayer was to win. My prayer was that God would allow me to run my best on that day, or better than my best. So whatever the outcome is, I have to be satisfied with it if I know I gave it my best effort  (Gail Devers Quotes) Sometimes we fall, sometimes we stumble, but we can’t stay down. We can’t allow life to beat us down. Everything happens for a reason, and it builds character in us, and it tells us what we are about and how strong we really are when we didn’t think we could be that strong.  (Gail Devers Quotes) Looking back, I’m so proud to have gone to five Olympics - I believe only three other Americans have achieved that.  (Gail Devers Quotes) It’s not what other people believe you can do, it’s what you believe  (Gail Devers Quotes) It’s not what other people believe you can do; it’s what you believe you can do  (Gail Devers Quotes) In February 1991, I was rushed to the hospital in Los Angeles to have my feet amputated. Three years earlier, I had broken the national 100 meters hurdles record while a student at UCLA and was a favourite for the event at the 1988 Seoul Olympics.  (Gail Devers Quotes) I have a real passion for children. I always wanted to teach and only became an athlete because my parents told my brother Parenthesis (sic) and me that we should use any God-given talent we had.  (Gail Devers Quotes) People talk about retiring. I never said that r-word. People though I went away after the Olympic Games. I took time off to do something I’ve always wanted to be - a mother  (Gail Devers Quotes) Whenever faced with a challenge, I dig deep within myself and summon my spiritual and physical forces. This gives me the focus, determination, perseverance, and support I need to succeed.  (Gail Devers Quotes) It’s totally different now, traveling to different meets and different cities and actually being able to enjoy the cities I’m in.  (Gail Devers Quotes) We go old-school during the summer, like swimming or setting up lemonade stands. I try to teach my kids to make their own fun.  (Gail Devers Quotes) In my race, there’s 10 hurdles, but in life, there is always a hurdle. There is always something you gotta get over, and it’s what you do, you know.  (Gail Devers Quotes) When I write a goal down - and I truly write them down - it becomes a part of me. That’s a contract that I sign with myself to say, ‘I don’t care what happens - I’m going to stay on this path. I’m going to try and see this through; I’m going to give it my best shot, my best effort.’  (Gail Devers Quotes) Looking back, I’m so proud to have gone to five Olympics - I believe only three other Americans have achieved that. My true gold medal, though, is my daughter, Karsen, who is 18 months old. And I have a wonderful husband, Mike.  (Gail Devers Quotes) I was diagnosed with Graves’ disease, an illness of the thyroid gland. Instead of surgery, I was given radiation treatment.  (Gail Devers Quotes) I am very thankful that I have lived the life I have lived. I am thankful for my Graves’ disease, and I tell people, if I had my whole life to live over, I would have it, because it has really made me into the person that I am.  (Gail Devers Quotes) Looking back, I’m so proud to have gone to five Olympics - I believe only three other Americans have achieved that  (Gail Devers Quotes) I was diagnosed with Graves’ disease, an illness of the thyroid gland. Instead of surgery, I was given radiation treatment  (Gail Devers Quotes) I have a real passion for children. I always wanted to teach and only became an athlete because my parents told my brother Parenthesis and me that we should use any God-given talent we had  (Gail Devers Quotes) I didn’t get nervous when I ran, but I get nervous watching other people now. I root for anybody with a USA on their chest  (Gail Devers Quotes) It`s not what other people believe you can do, it`s what you believe  (Gail Devers Quotes) Remember, all things are possible to those who believe!  (Gail Devers Quotes) I have to be cautious, have my thyroid levels checked, and as long as I do that, I’m fine  (Gail Devers Quotes) I was blessed with a long career where I won gold medals for myself and my country. Nothing stands out as a disappointment  (Gail Devers Quotes) It’s totally different now, traveling to different meets and different cities and actually being able to enjoy the cities I’m in  (Gail Devers Quotes) Keep your dreams alive. Understand to achieve anything requires faith and belief in yourself, vision, hard work, determination, and dedication. Remember all things are possible for those who believe  (Gail Devers Quotes) My grandma passed away at 98 1/2 and I want to live to 100. I want to be able to do what I can do even at 100  (Gail Devers Quotes)
