I always wanted to be a sprinter.

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.

The only one who can beat me is me.

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.

(Natural Talent + Opportunity) Hard Work = Success

The basis of self-discipline: Don't allow the edges to blur.

A good mentor offers directions and driving tips from the back seat. You still have to drive the car.

They think because I'm small, they can do what they want to do to me. But I'm not weak. If I lower my shoulder and they lower they're shoulder, they're going to go down.

Make voyages. Attempt them. There's nothing else.

Never say more than is necessary.

If someone is talking to you and tells you that you ought to do something, and you can tell they mean it, those are the scary people. Those are the people you want to watch out for.

Sometimes I enjoy talking, but when it's like people are trying to find something out about me, I don't.

As you think, you travel, and as you love, you attract. You are today where your thoughts have brought you; you will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you.

Men, in general, are not this or that, they are what they are made to be.

I don't think it is given to any of us to be impertinent to great religions with impunity.

As I am generous towards others ... As I see a person in need and don't just say, 'God bless you.' I am proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

I've never considered myself cool, and I don't think I ever will be. Honestly, it's better that way. It's much less pressure.

I dream about running all the time.
