I can run sub-10 any time but I'm just not ready.

I should just stay composed and run to the finish line.

I am trying to attend every training session and do all of my workouts.

I think about cars to try and distract myself. It's a good way to relax, take your mind off everything.

Sometimes I'm at home and I remember I'm supposed to do 100 push-ups and I don't.

I am still the fastest man on earth.

Many track and field people know that if I stay relaxed and run my race like I'm supposed to, I will be the winner at the Olympic Games.

I want to be the king of sprints because I think I am.

I said to myself, if I was in the race, I know I would have won.

I am a bit different from the other sprinters because, I would say, I can run many different ways while the other guys they just came on and they can only run one way.

Athletes try to get other athletes out and they should have no false starts.

There is no book so bad it does not contain something good.

Don't Fear the Reaper.

If you pray for rain long enough, it eventually does fall. If you pray for floodwaters to abate, they eventually do. The same happens in the absence of prayers.

Let my name stand among those who are willing to bear ridicule and reproach for the truth's sake and so earn some right to rejoice when the victory is won.

When you grow up close to poultry and fields and gardens and open-air markets, you can't help but develop an instinct for quality food.

A single rose can be my garden... a single friend, my world.

While drawing grasses I learn nothing 'about' grass, but wake up to the wonder that there is grass at all.

I have such a desire to sleep and am so much behind my sleep. A good night, one good night and all this nonsense will be swept away.

If life were eternal, all interest and anticipation would vanish. It is uncertainty which lends it fascination.
