I'm not interested in athletics, I'm only interested in achievement. Fix your goal and work for it.

Great people and great athletes realize early in their lives their destiny, and accept it. Even if they do not consciously realize the how, the where, the what.

Endurance? You've only got to get out there and do it. Face up to it: man was meant to run.

Hard things take time to do. Impossible things take a little longer.

Thus I urge you to go onto your greatness if you believe it is in you. Think deeply and separate what you wish from what you are prepared to do.

While a man is racing he must hate himself and his competitors.

Pain is the purifier. Love pain. Embrace pain.
