“I always
loved running... it was something you could do by yourself, and under your own
power. You could go in any direction, fast or slow as you wanted, fighting the
wind if you felt like it, seeking out new sights just on the strength of your
feet and the courage of your lungs.”
“To me, we must learn to spell the word RESPECT. We must respect the rights and properties of our fellowman. And then learn to play the game of life, as well as the game of athletics, according to the rules of society. If you can take that and put it into practice in the community in which you live, then, to me you have won the greatest championship.”
