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

All you need is the courage to believe in yourself and put one foot in front of the other.

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

If you feel positive, you have a sense of hope. If you have hope, you can have courage.

Life is for participating, not for spectating.

When I go to the Boston Marathon now, I have wet shoulders—women fall into my arms crying. They're weeping for joy because running has changed their lives. They feel they can do anything.

I could feel my anger dissipating as the miles went by--you can't run and stay mad!

Talent is everywhere, it only needs the opportunity.

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

There is an expression among even the most advanced runners that getting your shoes on is the hardest part of any workout

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

Love is like recognition. It's the moment when you catch sight of someone and you think There is someone I have business with in this life. There is someone I was born to know.

Don't wait for life to happen

The very discovery of the New world was the by-product of a dietary quest.

Design and programming are human activities; forget that and all is lost.

Even the humblest mammal's strong sexual, parental, and social instincts give rise to 'do unto others as yourself' and 'love thy neighbor as thyself'.

As with eggs, there is no such thing as a poor doctor, doctors are either good or bad.

The essence of boredom is to be found in the obsessive search for novelty. Satisfaction lies in mindful repetition, the discovery of endless richness in subtle variations on familiar themes.

I collect underwear from my travels. Lace, lingerie, bodysuits... they're like souvenirs.

My body, thus, and all my good besides, And all my merits gained and to be gained, I give them all away withholding nothing To bring about the benefit of beings.

The easiest way for me to lose interests is to know too much of what I want to say before I begin.
