If you have a body, you are an athlete!

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.

Everything you need is already inside.

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.

To bring inspiration and innovation to every athlete* in the world.

If someone says, 'Hey, I ran 100 miles this week. How far did you run?' ignore him! What the hell difference does it make?.... The magic is in the man, not the 100 miles.

If at the end of a race you know yourself that you have done your best, you're a winner.

A woman is like a tea bag: you never know her strength until you drop her in hot water.

I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet.

My dog was with me all the time. I talked to my dog. She was my best buddy. I shared all my secrets with her, but I don't think I every really tried jokes out with the dog.

It's hard to stay flexible if you don't stretch. I think if you train the right way you'll be flexible. There are people that don't appreciate the value of stretching. I think it's very important.

One of the unique aspects of the Bible is that it is primarily a story illustrated by teaching and not primarily teaching illustrated by story.

The real 'work' of prayer is to become silent and listen to the voice that says good things about me.

I always thought Cheers ended well. You always anticipate that the characters, theough they're leaving television, will somehow go on in another world of the imagination, which I think is good.

Music appeals to me for what can be done with it.

Often it is just lack of imagination that keeps a man from suffering very much.

If I didn't self-censor, I would be in jail, and then I wouldn't be effective at all.
