As an athlete, I was never really comfortable with being a celebrity.

As strong as my legs are, it is my mind that has made me a champion.

One of the main techniques I used was focusing on the goal and visualising myself competing in the race before the race started.

You learn as much from those who have failed as from those who have succeeded.

There's a complete difference between training for a specific event and goal and just training.

You can't control what the other athlete is going to do; you can't control anything except for your competition and how you execute the race or how you execute the task.

Real ability is the child of God-given talent and rock solid diligence. Nobody maintains ability without hard work. Nobody.

Your fears never go away. You just get more comfortable ignoring them.

The law of life is the law of belief.

Every sunset brings the promise of a new dawn

In the matter of a difficult question it is more likely that the truth should have been discovered by the few than by the many.

Faith is not by wishful thinking, it is what takes root in the heart and shows in one's actions.
