You have to forget your last marathon before you try another. Your mind can't know what's coming.
I've always felt that long, slow distance produces long, slow runners.
We can't all be heroes because someone has to sit on the curb and clap as they go by.
I always loved running - it was something you could do by yourself, and under your own power. You could go in any direction, fast or slow as you wanted, fighting the wind if you felt like it, seeking out new sights just on the strength of your feet and the courage of your lungs.
I believe that the Good Lord gave us a finite number of heartbeats and I'm damned if I'm going to use up mine running up and down a street.
Running is a big question mark that's there each and every day. It asks you, 'Are you going to be a wimp or are you going to be strong today?
Somebody just back of you while you are fishing is as bad as someone looking over your shoulder while you write a letter to your girl.
It has always been my private conviction that any man who pits his intelligence against a fish and loses has it coming.

98% of all Harleys ever sold are still on the road. The other 2% made it home.
I'd rather be riding my motorcycle thinking about God than sitting in church thinking about my motorcycle.
I believe many Harley guys spend more time revving their engines than actually driving anywhere; I sometimes wonder why they bother to have wheels on their motorcycles.
People are more violently opposed to fur than leather because it's safer to harass rich women than motorcycle gangs.
And I to my motorcycle Parked like the soul of the junkyard Restored, a bicycle fleshed With power, and tore off Up Highway 106 continually Drunk on the wind in my mouth Wringing the handlebar for speed Wild to be wreckage forever.
