There is NOTHING you can do with your running time that is better for you than running. Any other activity only pulls you down and erases passion.

Kids are afraid that if they race too fast they will get tired. Way too much fear and way too little COURAGE.

My key to victory was that I always went out way too fast. Too fast erases every other race strategy out there. Everyone is hanging on for dear life or they give up.

Set a new standard. Change reality. Break ground to something new and different. That achievement will live forever just because you WERE somebody special!

Everyone dies whether one is good in their lifetime or evil in their lifetime. So virtue has no payback. Life is meaningless. When you die, you die!

COURAGE is not a quality you teach. Courage is the by-product of self-discipline. It is an ATTITUDE.

The FEAR of becoming dehydrated causes dehydration. As with so many things in our life, it is because we KNOW it is a problem that it is a problem.

If you KNOW dehydration is a problem in long runs it becomes a problem in long runs.

I never did cross training or lifted weights or put anything between myself and my passion for running.

I should be doing that too. I should be out there running and racing. I should be taking care of my body.

Set a master goal for your running and for your life...

I've been very lucky, and therefore I owe it to try and reduce the inequity in the world. And that's kind of a religious belief. I mean, it's at least a moral belief.

The title is still on the cards until it's off the cards.

Olympics is global competition in which eighty, ninety, hundred, hundred and ten countries participate.

Those who will not start, will never finish.

My friends in the Congress, I have known Coretta King since I went south during the civil rights movement as a lawyer. She was a vibrant, consistent, totally dedicated partner with her husband.

As unhealthy as I am, I'm weirdly aware of exactly how my body functions.

I'm not following anybody's tracks, I'm making my own, baby.

Not that I’ve ever feared a fight or backed down from one –(Wren) That’s the truth. I swear he’s half beta fish. He’d fight his own reflection to prove a point. (Maggie)
