An athlete cannot run with money in his pockets. He must run with hope in his heart and dreams in his head. |
I am Nurmi! I am Nurmi! |
If you want to run, then run a mile. If you want to experience another life, run a marathon. |
One day the factory sports coach, who was very strict, pointed at four boys, including me, and ordered us to run in a race. I protested that I was weak and not fit to run, but the coach sent me for a physical examination and the doctor said that I was perfectly well. So I had to run, and when I got started I felt I wanted to win. But I only came in second. That was the way it started. |
You can't climb to the second floor without a ladder. Try for a goal that's reasonable, then gradually raise it. |
