The FEAR of becoming dehydrated causes dehydration. As with so many things in our life, it is because we KNOW it is a problem that it is a problem.

Kids are afraid that if they race too fast they will get tired. Way too much fear and way too little COURAGE.

My key to victory was that I always went out way too fast. Too fast erases every other race strategy out there. Everyone is hanging on for dear life or they give up.

Set a new standard. Change reality. Break ground to something new and different. That achievement will live forever just because you WERE somebody special!

Everyone dies whether one is good in their lifetime or evil in their lifetime. So virtue has no payback. Life is meaningless. When you die, you die!

COURAGE is not a quality you teach. Courage is the by-product of self-discipline. It is an ATTITUDE.

If you KNOW dehydration is a problem in long runs it becomes a problem in long runs.

I never did cross training or lifted weights or put anything between myself and my passion for running.

I should be doing that too. I should be out there running and racing. I should be taking care of my body.

Set a master goal for your running and for your life...

Based on my experience; I would develop fast speed before anything else. Get your young runners so they can run and teach them speed.

I understand what my gift is, which is making people laugh, hopefully. It's more on that level. I don't need to be a leading man, I'm fine with that.

Conservatism is the worship of dead revolutions.

Crying is part of the adventure.

Happiness can only exist in acceptance.

There's no such thing as second class citizenship. That's like telling me you can be a little bit pregnant.

In my books you have to concentrate, but I work hard to make it that, when you do, the rewards are quite high.

Solitude and quiet are highly desirable, but the lack of them is no barrier to writing... The will to work builds all the seclusion that one needs.

If a warrior lacked wisdom, courage alone would not keep him alive for long.

to be reasonable one should never complain but when one hopes redress.

Sometimes you need these warm, human moments - something that feels close - to help things along.
