“I run to see who has the most guts.”

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.

Running gives me confidence.

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.

Run free little soul. You were never meant to be constrained.

Even unconditional love will run out eventually if you don’t return the effort they make for you.

Don’t surround yourself with people who run away from growth. Don’t limit yourself knowing you can evolve, do better and be better. Because you deserve better.

They fell for her poetry But ran from her chaos.

I see sunshine within him and it only makes me want to run into his love even more,

Fools are not those in love rather, fools are those who run from love and I have a habit of falling for fools.

The moon screams, “You’re running out of time,” But perhaps tomorrow is only A new beginning.

We have not come here to beg world leaders to care. You have ignored us in the past and you will ignore us again. You’ve run out of excuses and we’re running out of time. We’ve come here to let you know that change is coming whether you like it or not.
