If you're planning only to make money and nothing else, you'll be broke.

In the marathon a crazy athlete can just keep pushing from the beginning, at a championship you don't need a time just to win the race.

I know what I want when I start a marathon: to win! But what do you want? Make sure you're clear in advance and don't go out too fast.

You must do as your people do. If my people are poor, I must be poor. People ask me, 'Why don't you find a personal coach or a private car?' I can't. Then I won't be part of my people.

My father didn't think running was sensible. He told me running is just wasting time.

If you are a really good marathoner, you have to run New York.

At the end of the day, people want to see how fast you run.
