I haven't done a marathon for a long time. So we'll see. I will need good luck.

All athletes need three things: commitment, discipline and hard work. Without that it's hard to keep running.

When you run the marathon, you run against the distance, not against the other runners and not against the time.

Once you have commitment, you need the discipline and hard work to get you there.

I always tell young athletes the same thing, 'Wherever you go, whatever you do, what must your top priority be? Running.'

Always, if you win mentally, you can win physically as well.

For me a day without training is like a day without eating.

You must do as your people do. If my people are poor, I must be poor. People ask me, 'Why don't you find a personal coach or a private car?' I can't. Then I won't be part of my people.

You need three things to win: discipline, hard work and, before everything maybe, commitment. No one will make it without those three. Sport teaches you that.

I will always listen to my coaches. But first I listen to my body. If what they tell me suits my body, great. If my body doesn't feel good with what they say, then always my body comes first.

It is not my duty to spend my money in my country, but it is what I want to do. There is nowhere else I would like to invest.

True leaders bring out your personal best. They ignite your human potential”.

Each of us channel through the rest of us, which is true on every plane of being and in every field of enterprise and in all walks of life.

We ought to love one another.

What happened in the missile crisis in October 1962 has been prettified to make it look as if acts of courage and thoughtfulness abounded. The truth is that the whole episode was almost insane.

If your body is a temple, you can pile up too much deferred maintenance. If your body is a temple, mine was a real fixer-upper.

Better to have your enemies inside your tent pissing out, then to have them outside your tent pissing in.

We're not going to be the coolest rock stars in the world. We're trying to be good musicians.

Who doesn’t want an exploding wicker chicken?

I do text a lot. Sometimes, at night, my thumbs hurt because I've texted so much, so I definitely text too much.

As hypocrisy is said to be the highest compliment to virtue, the art of lying is the strongest acknowledgment of the force of truth.
