I still bother with runners I call hamburgers. They're never going to run any record times. But they can fulfill their own potential.

The real purpose of running isn't to win a race, it's to test the limits of the human heart.

The idea that the harder you work, the better you're going to be is just garbage. The greatest improvement is made by the man or woman who works most intelligently.

Victory is in having done your best. If you've done your best, you've won.

There's no such thing as bad weather, just soft people.

The athlete makes himself, the coach doesn't make the athlete.

Don't give anything away. Never make it easy for the guys you are trying to beat.

We eat junk because it's cheap and it lights up the pleasure centers of our brain. And we do drugs because it's an effective way to feel good or escape something.

Love was not enough to fight or I was not worth to fight.

I'm sure every film it's going to be like, 'Okay, this is the scene where your shirt gets ripped off.' I'll never be able to keep my shirt on.

You really have to wonder why we even bother to get up in the morning. I mean, really: Why work? Simply to buy more stuff?

Everyone now claims to be a moderniser and it's obvious, really. I mean, no one now says 'We need to go backwards... to the days of Lord Salisbury'.

I offer neither pay, nor quarters, nor food; I offer only hunger, thirst, forced marches, battles and death. Let him who loves his country with his heart, and not merely with his lips, follow me.

You only get one chance to make a good first impression, and yours may be in the hands of the receptionist.

Once you have a very, very large budget, you actually look for expensive things to spend it on.

My Westley will come for me.
