Mario Andretti Quotations | Page 2

Desire is the key to motivation.

Failure is sucess if we learn from it.

If you think you're always in control, then you're not going fast enough.

The first time I fired up a car, felt the engine shudder and the wheel come to life in my hands, I was hooked. It was a feeling I can't describe. I still get it every time I get into a race car.

Love what you do. Believe in your instincts. And you'd better be able to pick yourself up and brush yourself off every day.

I don't have many superstitions, just dumb things I don't talk about. I will not sign an autograph with a green pen.

The crashes people remember, but drivers remember the near misses.

In racing, there is no question who is best - the first one to cross the finish line wins first prize. But with wine, even if you make the best wine in the world, someone isn't going to like it, because it isn't their style. Judging wine is very subjective.

For every negative, there’s a positive. It’s in everything. How you deal with life, outlook, how much energy you put into achieving something. That’s why I detest entitlement. Anything that’s worthwhile is going to call for some sacrifice. Nothing worthwhile will come to you without a price. People think in sports, you have different rules. You really don’t. It’s whatever motivates you,

A goal isn’t something you just arrive at and stop.You have to stay curious and hungry and foolish....

If you don't come walking back to the pits every once in a while holding a steering wheel in your hands, you're not trying hard enough

It is amazing how may drivers, even at the Formula One Level, think that the brakes are for slowing the car down.
