The Olympics remain the most compelling search for excellence that exists in sport, and maybe in life itself.

‐‐ Jencarlos Canela
The Olympics shows the community what gymnastics is all about.
‐‐ Bela Karolyi
The Olympics was a goal, and definitely, swimming in college was a goal.
‐‐ Katee Sackhoff
The Olympics was always my be-all and end-all, so when I won, it was the best feeling in the world. But I didn't realise how much it would affect me mentally. All that pressure. I was only 19; I still didn't know everything about taekwondo, I wasn't experienced. I just did amazing on that day and won.
‐‐ Jade Jones
The Olympics were great, because you had to make the team, and then go to the games. Now, I don't know, these guys today don't want to do anything like that.
‐‐ Oscar Robertson
The Olympics were life-changing for me. I felt I went in as a girl and came out as a woman.
‐‐ Kelita Zupancic
The Olympics were produced absolutely the same way from 1960 through 1988. It was always the Western World against the Eastern Bloc. You didn't even have to spend one second developing the character of any of the Eastern Bloc athletes. It was just good guys and bad guys.
‐‐ Dick Ebersol
The Olympics were the most pressure I've ever felt.
‐‐ Lindsey Vonn
The Olympics will be great for the growth of golf on a global scale, but my focus right now is on being the best player I can be, trying to win Major Championships and contributing to what will hopefully be a victorious European side at the forthcoming Ryder Cup Matches against the USA.

'The Omen,' 'The Exorcist,' those movies for me are the quintessential horror movies that still scare me as an adult.
‐‐ Fede Alvarez
The omission of good is no less reprehensible than the commission of evil.
‐‐ Plutarch
The omnipotence of evil has never resulted in anything but fruitless efforts. Our thoughts always escape from whoever tries to smother them.
‐‐ Victor Hugo
The omnipresent process of sex, as it is woven into the whole texture of our man's or woman's body, is the pattern of all the process of our life.
‐‐ Havelock Ellis
The once all-powerful ruler of Iraq was found in a hole, and now sits in a prison cell.
‐‐ George W. Bush
The once inviolate frame within which programs or commercials were displayed on television - always separately - has been violated to a pulp. Program content is seen increasingly as a mere backdrop on which ads are posted like billboards on a fence.
‐‐ Tom Shales
The once-science-fiction notion of hyper-connectivity - where we are all constantly connected to social networks and other bubbling streams of digital data - has rapidly become a widespread reality.
‐‐ Geoff Mulgan
The once-unthinkable loss of the AAA rating will constitute a further hit to already fragile business and consumer confidence.
‐‐ Mohamed El-Erian
The OnCue platform and team will help Verizon bring next-generation video services to audiences who increasingly expect to view content when, where, and how they want it. Verizon already has extensive video content relationships, fixed and wireless delivery networks, and customer relationships in both the home and on mobile.

The one advantage of being dyslexic is that you are never tempted to look back and idealise your childhood.
‐‐ Richard Rogers
The one advice that I would give just to moms who have a child or a newborn is definitely sleep while the baby sleeps. I've heard that so many times. I never realized how true it really is. If you don't, you'll be walking around like a zombie.
‐‐ Tia Mowry
The one album I can't live without is called 'Cumbolo' by a band called Culture. Every song on their album is deep, but there's one in particular called 'This Train.' I have a tattoo of the lyrics on my left arm.
‐‐ Idris Elba
The one and only time I met Pope Benedict XVI was when he was Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger.
‐‐ David Novak
The one and true God of the Bible does not share His glory with any man or anyone else. There is only room for one God.
‐‐ Monica Johnson
The one appearance that I made for President Kennedy, he, as I understand, had his choice or was asked to make a list of the people he would like to have perform, and I was fortunate enough to be one of them.
‐‐ Julie London
The one badge of Christian discipleship is not orthodoxy but love.
‐‐ Billy Graham
The one benefit of having done all kinds of movies as an actor is, you learn the pros and cons of being tempted to do a really big movie because it costs a lot of money.
‐‐ Ben Affleck
The one big, humongous, immense thing that we didn't change, that we didn't figure out how to deal with is, if men and women are both going to work throughout their lives, who's going to take care of the kids?
‐‐ Gail Collins
The one big strategic error - which was a political error and an economic error of grand proportions - was the prescription drug bill.
‐‐ David Keene
The one book necessary to be understood by a divine, is the Bible; any others are to be read, chiefly, in order to understand that.
‐‐ Francis Lockier
The one challenge you have when you're going back into history is that people, unlike with today's news - we think we know what's happened already - we think that it's history and therefore less interesting.
‐‐ Tom Reiss
The one characteristic of authentic power that most people overlook is humbleness. It is important for many reasons. A humble person walks in a friendly world. He or she sees friends everywhere he or she looks, wherever he or she goes, whomever he or she meets. His or her perception goes beyond the shell of appearance and into essence.
‐‐ Gary Zukav
The one charm about marriage is that it makes a life of deception absolutely necessary for both parties.
‐‐ Oscar Wilde
The one complaint about the Internet that I wholeheartedly endorse is that most of these tools have been designed to peck at us like ducks: 'Hey, there's a new reply to your comment! Come look at it!'
‐‐ Clive Thompson
The one constant in my life has been my love of books: reading them, thinking about them, talking about them, holding them, turning people on to new ones.
‐‐ Maria Semple
The one cool thing with getting older is that you can actively choose to just be an eccentric.
‐‐ Greg Behrendt
The one effective method of defending one's own territory from an offensive by air is to destroy the enemy's air power with the greatest possible speed.
‐‐ Giulio Douhet
The one endorsement that makes the most difference is from the constituents in the district.
‐‐ Sandy Adams
The one excellent thing that can be learned from a lion is that whatever a man intends doing should be done by him with a whole-hearted and strenuous effort.
‐‐ Chanakya
The one exclusive sign of thorough knowledge is the power of teaching.
‐‐ Aristotle
The one fiction show I watch is 'Hannibal.' I love it!
‐‐ Sophie Turner
The one function that TV news performs very well is that when there is no news we give it to you with the same emphasis as if it were.
‐‐ David Brinkley
The one good thing about our school was the Cadets; I chose to be in the Navy, purely for the sailor's outfit. A pity we had to give them back.
‐‐ David Walliams
The one good thing is that I get a lot more good scripts coming through my letterbox. 'Vera Drake' raised my profile in one way, and then 'Harry Potter' in another.
‐‐ Imelda Staunton
The one great exception to the apathy on reunification is, naturally enough, Berlin. Encircled by the hostile Soviet Zone for ten years, at times blockaded and constantly at the Russians' mercy, Berliners are committed to this one goal with a unique urgency.
‐‐ J. Anthony Lukas
The one great principle of English law is to make business for itself.
‐‐ Charles Dickens
The one great thing about a continuing collaboration is that they know you. And if you're really lucky, they really believe in you and think that your talent has some unending bounds to it.
‐‐ Mark Ruffalo
The one guiding principle over my 23-year career in TV has been as long as I'm having fun, I really don't care what the job title is.
‐‐ Andy Cohen
The one happiness is to shut one's door upon a little room, with a table before one, and to create; to create life in that isolation from life.
