“Live...More than your neighbors.Unleash yourself upon the world and go places. Go now. Giggle, no, laugh.No... stay out past dark, And bark at the moon like the wild dog that you are.Understand that this is not a dress rehearsal.This is it... your life.Face your fears and live your dreams.Take it in.Yes, every chance you get...come close.And, by all means, whatever you do...Get it on film.”

“If you can't fly, run; if you can't run, walk; if you can't walk, crawl.-Martin Luther King”

“This may be the final note and closure of a very special part of my coaching career. The last piece of the puzzle that I wanted to see complete from our first meeting has been delivered. I gained incredible satisfaction from your race at the weekend. No, not from the race performance--that didn't interest me--- but to see you in full happiness in the arms of your man, looking up with all the admiration one can summon in a most happy and fulfilling time.”

“I'm a warrior and a fighter, I race fair and I race clean.”

“i think, then i pick, and then i stick. and nothing shifts me more from my view. no bad races, no bad sessions, no bad moods.”

“Pick your battles, and accept yourself for who you are.”

“When things are tough, you get tougher.”

“To be happy with myself and always make others happy. To be confident and give others confidence in themselves. To smile, to surf, to laugh and make others laugh. To read more widely. To try to be more tolerant of my weaknesses and of others, and not to be so hard on myself all the time.”

“I had to make the most of it; I had to make the most of me. There could be no slack, anywhere, not in my time, not in my head, not across my skin. If there were any, the guilt wouldn't bear thinking about.”

“Just seize every opportunity you have, embrace every experience. Make a mark, for all the right reasons.”
