“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.”

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.

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

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.

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

Nana acts like a stray cat, wild, free, and proud…. …But inside her heart, she houses a wound. Dense as I am, i thought that.

I have to respect my life, and free expression is part of my life. I can never really silence myself.

If there is no free speech, every single life has lived in vain

Choices after waking up: To be true or to lie? To take action or be brainwashed? To be free or be jailed?

Cessation of struggle is like free falling through space without a care in the world.

This world should be much more open and should be much more free, so the young people would have the chance to exercise the quality of their lives.

The mind wants to land, to fixate, to hold a concept, but the only way you can be really free is by not fixating. That’s part of true maturity, and it’s one of the hardest things for spiritual people who have had true and powerful revelations to go through.

To be free of fear is to be full of Love.
