Sport is an international phenomenon, like science or music.

   

As soon as you take money for playing sport, it isn't sport, it's work.

The sportsman knows that a sport is a recreation, a game, an amusement and a pastime, but his eyes are fixed on a higher goal, on the most important thing in his life, which is his education or his vocation.
