Why should I say I will retire in three or four years? You retire the very moment you utter those words.

All athletes need three things: commitment, discipline and hard work. Without that it's hard to keep running.

When you run the marathon, you run against the distance, not against the other runners and not against the time.

Once you have commitment, you need the discipline and hard work to get you there.

I always tell young athletes the same thing, 'Wherever you go, whatever you do, what must your top priority be? Running.'

Always, if you win mentally, you can win physically as well.

For me a day without training is like a day without eating.

You must do as your people do. If my people are poor, I must be poor. People ask me, 'Why don't you find a personal coach or a private car?' I can't. Then I won't be part of my people.

You need three things to win: discipline, hard work and, before everything maybe, commitment. No one will make it without those three. Sport teaches you that.

I will always listen to my coaches. But first I listen to my body. If what they tell me suits my body, great. If my body doesn't feel good with what they say, then always my body comes first.

It is not my duty to spend my money in my country, but it is what I want to do. There is nowhere else I would like to invest.

Come on, Doctor... we got places to go.

Universal opinions are often mistaken for universal principles

I support legal immigration.

People don't like getting dirty or living in an environment that's been contaminated and is covered in hazardous waste.

There is a touch of divinity even in brutes, and a special halo about a horse, that should forever exempt him from indignities.

Everyone calls himself a friend, but only a fool relies on it; nothing is commoner than the name, nothing rarer than the thing.

It's pretty clear now that what looked like it might have been some kind of counterculture is, in reality, just the plain old chaos of undifferentiated weirdness.

I like dressing how I like to dress, and I look like a little art statement.

We live in a bizarre world - there are cameras in our house!

God is not the author of confusion but is the author of peace.
