“Running gives me confidence.”

What kind of crazy nut would spend two or three hours a day just running?

A race is a work of art.

If you fail to prepare, prepare to fail.

Kids made fun of me because I was a slow learner, because I was hyperactive, because of a lot of things. Running gave me confidence.

A lot of people run a race to see who is fastest. I run to see who has the most guts, who can punish himself into exhausting pace, and then at the end, punish himself even more.

The idea of losing the three at Hayward Field and the idea of losing my specialty to someone who wasn’t running his specialty. Mostly, the idea of losing in front of my people. They haven’t forgotten about me.

If he’s having a good day and running the right race, nobody can beat Frank Shorter at 10,000 meters, nobody except me.

To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift.

Don’t be afraid to give up the good for the great.

No one will ever win a 5,000-meter by running an easy two miles. Not against me.

I run to see who has the most guts.

Some people create with words or with music or with a brush and paints. I like to make something beautiful when I run. I like to make people stop and say, ‘I’ve never seen anyone run like that before.’ It’s more than just a race, it’s a style. It’s doing something better than anyone else. It’s being creative.

Success isn’t how far you got, but the distance you traveled from where you started.

PRE. For your dedication and loyalty to your principles and beliefs. For your love,warmth and friendship. For your family and friends. You are missed by so many and you will never be forgotten.

Something inside of me just said ‘Hey, wait a minute, I want to beat him,’ and I just took off.

My philosophy is that I’m an artist. I perform an art not with a paint brush or a camera. I perform with bodily movement. Instead of exhibiting my art in a museum or a book or on canvas, I exhibit my art in front of the multitudes.

Of course you cannot compare my Hindi with a Hindi-speaking person, but I am confident enough to hold a conversation in mixed Hindi-English.

Confidence breeds success & success breeds confidence, Confidence applied properly surpasses genius.

I’m ready for Joseph Parker. The question is, is he ready for me?

I think the sexiest thing about a woman is confidence, but confidence in a humble way, not in an arrogant way.

Every win, regardless a good or bad one, gives you more confidence.

I don’t wear heels every day, but when I’m out, that’s how I feel confident.

I want to try doing sportier things, kite surfing and paddle surfing – I think it would give me that extra confidence.

There’s nothing like confidence.
