Although men are accused of not knowing their own weakness, yet perhaps few know their own strength. It is in men as in soils, where sometimes there is a vein of gold which the owner knows not of. ↗

Truth demands progress and change, and is always for the benefit of all souls—even if you must travel through a difficult learning process or make a shift as a result of facing the truth. ↗

Olympic Gold changed me and my life dramatically. I became a celebrity overnight and people see me as a famous skater, not a real person. ↗
