If you think about it, an unfair society is a society that makes it possible for you to exploit your abilities to the limit.

Even if there were two of me, I still couldn't do all that has to be done. No matter what, though, I keep up my running. Running every day is a kind of lifeline for me, so I'm not going to lay off or quit just because I'm busy. If I used being busy as an excuse not to run, I'd never run again. I have only a few reasons to keep on running, and a truckload of them to quit. All I can do is keep those few reasons nicely polished.

Give yourself five minutes to consider how you can turn a miserable situation to your benefit and that light bulb is going to click on.

Whether it's good for anything or not, cool or totally uncool, in the final analysis what's most important is what you can't see but can feel in your heart.

Strong and independent? I’m neither. I’m just being pushed along by reality, whether I like it or not.

Everyone who has something is afraid of losing it, and people with nothing are worried they'll forever have nothing. Everyone is the same.

If you never noticed, it never happened.
