Purity does not mean crushing the instincts but having the instincts as servants and not the master of the spirit.

The secret of my success over the 400m is that I run the first 200m as fast as I can. Then, for the second 200m, with God's help I run faster.

God made me fast. And when I run, I feel His pleasure.

If you commit yourself to the love of Christ, then that is how you run a straight race.

You will know as much of God, and only as much of God, as you are willing to put into practice.

I have no formula for winning the race. Everyone runs in her own way, or his own way. And where does the power come from, to see the race to its end? From within. Jesus said, 'Behold, the Kingdom of God is within you. If with all your hearts, you truly seek me, you shall ever surely find me.' If you commit yourself to the love of Christ, then that is how you run a straight race.

We are all missionaries. Wherever we go we either bring people nearer to Christ or we repel them from Christ.
