We have got to go out there and deliver, go on the streets and find athletes, improve facilities around the country and find coaches. We have got to go out there and search for a star.

Adopting a new healthier lifestyle can involve changing diet to include more fresh fruit and vegetables as well as increasing levels of exercise.

But I sometimes think we have too much of a fixation about 2012.

There was no money in the sport but we'd be out there day in, day out, rain or shine, doing it.

Some of today's athletes do not have that kind of pride. They left school at 16, have never had a job in their life and are getting Lottery funding, earning money as an athlete.

I know what it takes to get to the top.

If you criticise something then you have to have an alternative, but we do have to try and improve things.

I don't think there are really enough meetings in Britain for our athletes to compete properly, and because of this a lot of the talent we have has been stunted.

I am a coach on the outside of the establishment and that works.

I think it's great that they are getting funding, but it's just too easy. They don't have to work for it. We did it because we had pride, because we loved it.

I coach a few guys and they work very, very hard, but in our day we did it because we just loved it.

If you make fun of bad persons you make yourself beneath them. ... Be kind to bad and good for you don't know your own heart.

During high school I worked in a retirement home. I spent many wonderful hours hearing from service men and their widows about WWI.

It's important that I make a difference in some way. It's not necessarily how I make a difference, but I want to make sure that I do.

We must radiate success before it will come to us. We must first become mentally, from an attitude standpoint, the people we wish to become.

You might be a redneck if your grandmother has ever been asked to leave a bingo game because of her language.

But you must give him some sign, some sign that you love him... or he'll never be a man. All his life he'll feel guilty and alone unless you release him.

The way people see you is the way you really are.

Who understands much forgives much. To understand everything makes us very forgiving.

A silent lover is one who doesn't know his job.

The corrupt man is nearly always rootless, deeply aware of his rootlessness.
