Make each day your masterpiece.

John Wooden

Out on the roads, there is fitness and self-discovery and the persons we were destined to be.

George Sheehan

You must expect great things from yourself before you can do them.

Michael Jordan

Believe that you can run farther or faster. Believe that you’re young enough, old enough, strong enough, and so on to accomplish everything you want to do. Don’t let worn-out beliefs stop you from moving beyond yourself.

John Bingham
