Endurance is not just the ability to bear a hard thing, but to turn it into glory.

With athletes, it's never fully understood the level to which we push ourselves. Especially in an endurance sport.

Endurance is the crowning quality, And patience all the passion of great hearts.

Endurance is patience concentrated.

Prolonged endurance tames the bold.

Endurance is nobler than strength, and patience than beauty.

Ye are brothers, ye are men, and we conquer but to save.

I think what endurance sports teach you is to stay dedicated, stay focused, and also to understand you're going to have ups and downs, but you need to keep running right through them.

Endurance, after all, is the only reason we even exist. We think of ourselves as nature's deadliest animals, but the truth is, a naked human is the biggest wimp in the wild. We have no fangs, no claws, no strength, and no speed.

Few men during their lifetime comes anywhere near exhausting the resources dwelling within them. There are deep wells of strength that are never used.
