In the midst of an ordinary training day, I try to remind myself that I am preparing for the extraordinary.

Don't let fear decide your future.

All runners are tough. Everyone has to have a little fire in them, that even in tough times, can’t be turned off.

Keep your head up, keep your heart strong.

It is very rewarding to feel and see progress. I am going to put my head down and keep plugging away. I believe the best is yet to come.

No excuses. Just do the work.

Don't be afraid to dream of achieving the impossible.

I will go through a lot of pain to beat someone. If there's pride and ego on the line, if I'm desperate, then I'm willing to go to a place where it hurts a lot more.

I dont wish it were easier. I just wish I was better

Even if we eat the best diet ever (and I highly recommend that we do), we still may not achieve the longevity that is possible.

If this was my forever, I didn't want to spend another second of it here.

We learn more from people who are different from us than ones who are the same.

In all my novels, I deal with the many problems and prejudices which exist for Black people in Britain today.

If conversion makes no improvements in a man's outward actions then I think his 'conversion' was largely imaginary.

We need better things, not more. We should not pollute the world with meaningless, unused things when we can make and support things of rare and precious beauty.

I cannot stress this enough - if you try to install an HDTV in a non-HDTV compatible house, you may tear the space-time continuum.

The spirit walks of every day deceased.

It was one of those parties where you cough twice before you speak and then decide not to say it after all.

This world is not for cowards. Do not try to fly. Look not for success or failure. Join yourself to the perfectly unselfish will and work on.
