Quote examples
George Foreman
American Boxer
It's very important that people know that I really enjoy everything that has happened to me. And I tell my kids... you're not going to be the tallest, fastest, prettiest, the best track runner, but you can be the nicest human being that someone has ever met in their life. And I just want to leave that legacy that being nice is a true treasure.
Quote examples
Jeff Fisher
American Coach

Quote examples
Paul Sparks
American Actor

Quote examples
Jack Black
American Actor

Quote examples
Kay Cannon
American Writer

Indian Cricketer
I never played with a runner in my entire life, even in schools, because only I know where the ball is going and how hard, when I hit the ball, something my runner will never know about.
Quote examples

American Author
I'm a long distance runner, and I get my best ideas when I'm out running. It also helps that I can't write it down immediately - if you hold onto an idea, other things will stick on it.
