An athlete cannot run with money in his pockets. He must run with hope in his heart and dreams in his head.

There is a great advantage in training under unfavorable conditions. It is better to train under bad conditions, for the difference is then a tremendous relief in a race.

Sri Chinmoy brings Heaven to me. He inspires everyone to be happy. He deserves the biggest gold medal.

Great is the victory, but the friendship of all is greater.

Men, today we die a little.

Why should I practice running slow? I already know how to run slow. I want to learn to run fast.
