I have learned that there is no failure in running, or in life, as long as you keep moving.

I always tell beginning runners: Train your brain first. It's much more important than your heart or legs.

Life is a marathon, not a sprint; pace yourself accordingly.

Running has taught me, perhaps more than anything else, that there's no reason to fear starting lines... or other new beginnings.

The most powerful lesson you can learn in running? You're capable of much more than you think.

If you train your mind for running, everything else will be easy.

Winning has nothing to do with racing. Most days don't have races anyway. Winning is about struggle and effort and optimism, and never, ever, ever giving up.

It's not about speed and gold medals. It's about refusing to be stopped.

To get to the finish line, you'll have to try lots of different paths.

As we run, we become.

That's the beauty of starting lines: Until you begin a new venture, you never know what awaits you.

Sometimes people do misguided things for the most honorable of reasons.

The dress must follow the body of a woman, not the body following the shape of the dress.

I'm awkward around girls.

Our military doesn't defend our American people. Our military is the strong-arm muscle of corporations.

Patience alleviates, as impatience augments, pain; thus persons of strong will suffer less than those who give way to irritation.

True religion is the life we lead, not the creed we profess.

Don't face the day until you've faced God.

Anyone whose needs are small seems threatening to the rich, because he's always ready to escape their control.

Be appreciative... that's what keeps me happy.

I feel somewhat responsible for the Borders Books bankruptcy.
