Emil Zatopek (one of the greatest runners of all time)

“You can't climb to the second floor without a ladder. Try for a goal that's reasonable, then gradually raise it.”

An athlete cannot run with money in his pockets. He must run with hope in his heart and dreams in his head.”

“If you want to run, then run a mile. If you want to experience another life, run a marathon.”

"Great is the victory, but the friendship of all is greater."

"When a person trains once, nothing happens. When a person forces himself to do a thing a hundred or a thousand times, then he certainly has developed in more ways than physical. Is it raining? That doesn't matter. Am I tired? That doesn't matter, either. Then willpower will be no problem."

"What has passed is already finished with.What I find more interesting is what is still to come."

"Men, today we die a little."Emil Zatopek at the start of the Olympic Marathon

It's at the borders of pain and suffering that the men are separated from the boys.

Perhaps sometimes I was like a mad dog. It didn't matter about style or what it looked like to others; there were records to break.
