Running Quotes May 2013

Running Quotes April 2013

Good things come slow - especially in distance running.

Bill Dellinger

I always loved running...it was something you could do by yourself, and under your own power. You could go in any direction, fast or slow as you wanted, fighting the wind if you felt like it, seeking out new sights just on the strength of your feet and the courage of your lungs.

Jesse Owens

I love those who can smile in trouble, who can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. 'Tis the business of little minds to shrink, but they whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves their conduct, will pursue their principles unto death.

Leonardo da Vinci

Where there is love there is life.

Mahatma Gandhi

Running Quotes February 2013

Have you learned the lessons only of those who admired you, and were tender with you, and stood aside for you? Have you not learned great lessons from those who braced themselves against you, and disputed passage with you?

-Walt Whitman

Leadership and learning are indispensable to each other.

-John F. Kennedy

Character is higher than intellect. A great soul will be strong to live as well as think.

-Ralph Waldo Emerson

It's not that I'm so smart, it's just that I stay with problems longer.

-Albert Einstein

Running Quotes January 2013

Act as if what you do makes a difference. It does.

-William James

Even if you fall on your face, you're still moving forward.

-Victor Kiam

Great ambition is the passion of a great character. Those endowed with it may perform very good or very bad acts. All depends on the principles which direct them.

-Napoleon Bonaparte

All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible.

-T. E. Lawrence

Running Quotes October 2012

You have to wonder at times what you're doing out there. Over the years, I've given myself a thousand reasons to keep running, but it always comes back to where it started. It comes down to self-satisfaction and a sense of achievement.
-Prefontaine

Running is the greatest metaphor for life, because you get out of it what you put into it.
-Oprah

Believe that you can run farther or faster. Believe that you're young enough, old enough, strong enough, and so on to accomplish everything you want to do. Don't let worn-out beliefs stop you from moving beyond yourself.
-John Bingham

Running Quotes September 2012

Of all that is good, sublimity is supreme. Succeeding is the coming together of all that is beautiful. Furtherance is the agreement of all that is just. Perseverance is the foundation of all actions.

I do not think that there is any other quality so essential to success of any kind as the quality of perseverance. It overcomes almost everything, even nature.

In general, any form of exercise, if pursued continuously, will help train us in perseverance. Long-distance running is particularly good training in perseverance.

Courage and perseverance have a magical talisman, before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish into air.

Music Quotes July 2012

Running Quotes June 2012

Sometimes we stare so long at a door that is closing that we see too late the one that is open. -Alexander Graham Bell

Art begins with resistance-at the point where resistance is overcome. No human masterpiece has ever been created without great labor. -Andre Gide

The greater the obstacle, the more glory in overcoming it. -Moliere

The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly; it is dearness only that gives everything its value. I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress and grow. -Thomas Paine

Running Quotes January 2012

Never look back unless you are planning to go that way.
-Henry David Thoreau

Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance you must keep moving.
-Albert Einstein

Whatever you can do, or dream you can, Begin it.Boldness has genius, power and magic in it, Begin it now.
-Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

You have enemies? Good.That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life.
-Winston Churchill

What a piece of work is a man, how noble in reason, how infinite in faculties, in form and moving how express and admirable, in action how like an angel, in apprehension how like a god.
-William Shakespeare

Running Quotes December 2011

The riders in a race do not stop when they reach the goal. There is a little finishing canter before coming to a standstill. There is time to hear the kind voices of friends and say to oneself, 'The work is done.'
-Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.

There are two mistakes one can make along the road to truth...not going all the way, and not starting.
-Buddha

Vitality shows in not only the ability to persist but the ability to start over.

Running Quotes November 2011

Abraham Lincoln

April and May 2011

When the world says, "Give up,"Hope whispers, "Try it one more time."
Author Unknown

Fall seven times, stand up eight.
Japanese Proverb

Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan "press on" has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race”
Calvin Coolidge

The only tyrant I accept in this world is the 'still small voice' within me.”
Gandhi

Running Quote March 2011

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or, being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;
If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with triumph and disaster
And treat those two imposters just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with wornout tools;
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on";
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch;
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run -
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man my son!

Rudyard Kipling

Running Quotes February 2011

The wind at your back, the sun in front of you, and your friends by your side.
– Aaron Douglas Trimble

Strong lives are motivated by dynamic purposes.
– Kenneth Hildebrand

Strong people are made by opposition like kites that go up against the wind.
- Frank Harris (1856-1931)

The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable man persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.
– George Bernard Shaw

Man imposes his own limitations, don’t set any
-Anthony Bailey

Running Quotes January 2011

Running Quotes December 2010

The gun goes off and everything changes... the world changes... and nothing else really matters.
- Patti Sue Plummer

I tell our runners to divide the race into thirds. Run the first part with your head, the middle part with your personality, and the last part with your heart.
- Mike Fanelli

I was magnificent, it was so simple, easy, I was just jogging. I understood Einstein’s theory of relativity as time seemed to stand still. I could see everything before I did it. I felt so powerful, so in tune, in balance. It was a perfect melody, a rhythm, I was really flowing. I was dangerous that day.
- Kris Akabusi

Good things come slow - especially in distance running.
- Bill Dellinger

Running Quotes April 2010

If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty second' worth of distance run
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it
And-which is more- you'll be a Man, my son!
-Rudyard Kipling

If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams and endeavors to life the life which he has imagined, he will meet with success unexpected in common hours.

Yet that man is happy and poets sing of him who conquers with hand and swift foot and strength.
-Pindar

The wind is old and still at play
While I must hurry upon my way,
For I am running to Paradise...
-William Butler Yeats

Running Quotes March 2010

Running Quotes February 2010

Is it raining? That doesn't matter. Am I tired? That doesn't matter, either. Then willpower will be no problem.

To run a world record, you have to have the absolute arrogance to think you can run a mile faster than anyone who's ever lived; and then you have to have the absolute humility to actually do it.

I ran and ran everyday, and I acquired a sense of determination, this sense of spirit that I would never, never, give up, no matter what else happened.

Passion is pushing myself when there is no one else around - just me and the road.
