“I always felt free when I ran. I suppose that’s what was good about it.”

I can understand how evolution says, “don’t believe in God”, but I’ve never had this problem.

My parents always encouraged me and I had a good home life. We were always taught to respect things and other people. It’s so different today, because children are just not taught the right way.

I don’t concentrate on things I can’t do. I do what I can do.

You’ve got to stick at a thing, a particular thing, until you succeed.

No way did I ever think I was going to win the 100m.

I realized from a very early age that God gave me a gift, and that gift was to run, and I wanted to use it to the best of my ability.

I feel that’s the only way to succeed – by concentrating on something in particular. Once you know what you’ve got to do you will succeed, you will succeed.

My salvation was a free gift. I didn’t have to work for it and it’s better than any gold medal that I’ve ever won.

Everything I did that required effort, I opened my mouth. Even to catch a ball, I opened my mouth.

As I ran for president, I hoped that one child would come out of the ghetto like I did, could look at me walk across the stage with governors and senators and know they didn’t have to be a drug dealer.

The guy who ran it at first misled pretty much everybody about how much capital we had.

The Stone Age didn’t end because we ran out of stones, and the age of oil won’t end because we run out of oil.

Cinderella’s glass shoe was the perfect size…. so why did it slip off as she ran? It must have been to attract the attention of Prince Charming. I don’t see any other explanation.

They even came to raise the methods of slaughter to the rank of “science”… We would not (On ne saurait”, Fr.) imagine a more extraordinary moral blindness!

I ran away from home because my Dad brought me an Xbox.

I went to business school, and I went straight from that to a nine-year career at Microsoft. Eventually, I ran a big chunk of the consumer products division for Microsoft.Then I left with the birth of our first daughter because Bill and I both wanted to have a few kids.

I had some eyeglasses. I was walking down the street when suddenly the prescription ran out.
