Gail Devers

“Keep your dreams alive. Understand to achieve anything requires faith and belief in yourself, vision, hard work, determination, and dedication.”

“My story is one of perseverance. I've always been a fighter.”

“Sometimes we fall, sometimes we stumble, but we can't stay down. We can't allow life to beat us down.”

“Winning is great, sure, but if you are really going to do something in life, the secret is learning how to lose.”

“Never give up on your dream... because you never know what the Lord can bless you with.”

“I know that I am a role model and I'm proud of it.”

“Everything happens for a reason, and it builds character in us, and it tells us what we are about and how strong we are when we didn't think we could be strong.”

“The doctors told me I might not be able to walk again. And I just said, 'I'm going to run again.'”

“I've had a lot of challenges in my life, and I've always found a way to overcome them.”

“I believe in the power of the mind. I believe we can do anything we want to do.”
