Emil Zatopek
  • The athlete of today is not an athlete alone. He's the center of a team - doctors, scientists, coaches, agents and so on.

  • An athlete cannot run with money in his pockets. He must run with hope in his heart and dreams in his head.

  • A runner must run with dreams in his heart, not money in his pocket.

  • If you want to run, run a mile. If you want to experience a different life, run a marathon.

  • We are different, in essence, from other men. If you want to win something, run 100 meters. If you want to experience something, run a marathon.
