“Lies run sprints, but the truth runs marathons. The truth will win this marathon in court.”

“Remember always... Life is a marathon. Not a sprint. Run it like you own it!”

“I’m running a marathon. I won’t be jogging, walking, or sprinting, but I will be overseeing it.”

“Guilt wears track shoes. Sprint, marathon, or cross-country, it doesn’t matter. It runs tireless to catch you, and it carries a sledgehammer.”

“Life’s a marathon, not a sprint.”

“A short story is a sprint, a novel is a marathon. Sprinters have seconds to get from here to there and then they are finished. Marathoners have to carefully pace themselves so that they don't run out of energy (or in the case of the novelist-- ideas) because they have so far to run. To mix the metaphor, writing a short story is like having a short intense affair, whereas writing a novel is like a long rich marriage.”

“Publication is a marathon, not a sprint. Writing the book is only the start.”
