Gold Quotes - Page 13

• Growing up, you always dream of winning a gold medal. But coming into these Games, it wasn't something I was focused on. I'm just enjoying skating. This is the best season ever. I think that this year, my 3,000 meters has been stronger than the 1,500. The 1,500 has been anybody's race this year. When I was first, I still didn't know if that was enough.

• I am completely honest and truthful when I say I don’t want a gold for myself. I want a gold for the team. You go up there and do it as a collective group and it’s so much more satisfying, I mean you look around and you see the faces and just wow, this was a team effort and we did this together. It’s incredible and that’s my dream. I wanna win a gold medal and see the flag go up, hear the national anthem and just know that I did it with my brothers standing next to me.

• You never enjoy the world aright, till the Sea itself flowers in your veins,
  till you are clothed with the heavens, and crowned with the stars: and
  perceive yourself to be the sole heir of the whole world, and more than
  so, because men and women are in it who are every one sole heirs as well
  as you. Till you can sing and rejoice and delight, as misers do in gold, and
  kings in scepters, you never enjoy the world.
