Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccesful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. (Calvin Coolidge)
We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act, but a habit (Aristoteles)

*I train in pain because I race in pain and if you can't tolerate pain you may as well quit. (Steve Scott)
Irgendwo auf der Welt trainiert jemand, wenn du es nicht tust. Wenn du gegen ihn läufst, wirst du verlieren. (Anonymus)
One thing about racing is it hurts. You have to know that from the beginning or you are not going anywhere. (Bob Kennedy)
Now bid me run, and I will strive with things impossible. (Julius Caesar, II.1)
Only those who risk going too far will ever know how far they can go. (T. S. Elliot)
Hard work beats talent if talent doesn't work hard (Anoymus)
*Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional (Anonymous)
