Two quotes I like:
Excellence can be attained if you care more than others think is wise, risk more than others think safe, dream more than others think is practical, and expect more than others think is possible. " - Author Unknown
"We act as though comfort and luxury were the chief requirements in life, when all we need to make us really happy is something to be enthusiastic about."
Just what I needed! Thanks for the inspiration!

Love that one by Paavo Nurmi. One of my favorites! Now if only I could remember that during the run...
I love the bumblebee one. That is my favorite part of "The Triathlete's Bible" by Friel, his little vinette titled "The bumblebee and the racehorse."
I always like having some type of quote on me during an important race.
Thanks for more ideas..
Great qoutes! I like to put good ones in the margins of my journal.
