Triumph over adversity that's what the marathon is all about. Nothing in life can't triumph after that

I do forgive people when they get it right, even people who in the past I thought were unforgivable.

1967 race in Boston changed not just my life, but millions of women's lives. There are also things that, when you get older, resonate more.

If you are losing faith in human nature, go out and watch a marathon.

I always say that talent and capability is everywhere, all it needs is opportunity.

Jock Semple said "Oh the women ran well today the Boston Marathon and they deserve to be in the race." I had to laugh. I said "Well it took us five years but anyway, we're here." It pretty much changed everything.

A lack of forgiveness is a waste of time and it's very enriching to forgive and move on but those are things that come with time.
