I hated every minute of training, but I said, 'Don't quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion.

Every heart that has beat strongly and cheerfully has left a hopeful impulse behind it in the world, and bettered the tradition of mankind.

Wonder rather than doubt is the root of all knowledge.

And now, this is the sweetest and most glorious day that ever my eyes did see.

How glorious a greeting the sun gives the mountains!
