More quotes by Dan O'Brien

What I thought about every single day for the last four years was being up here after winning the gold, Perseverance does pay off. I’m very glad I stuck it out.

For the first time in my life, I didn’t know what I was going to do.

I’ve always had to have some kind of failure before I was successful.

And Venus sets ere Mercury can rise.
