What are your favorite quotes about fitness/weight loss/motivation?

Here is one of mine:
"The body does not want you to do this. As you run, it tells you to stop but the mind must be strong. You always go too far for your body. You must handle the pain with strategy...It is not age; it is not diet. It is the will to succeed."
- Jacqueline Gareau, 1980 Boston Marathon champ

    I have a few....

    "Habit is habit and not to be flung out of the window by any man, but coaxed downstairs a step at a time." ~Mark Twain

    ~"Take care of your body with steadfast fidelity. The soul must see through these eyes alone, and if they are dim, the whole world is clouded"~Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

    And my ultimate favorite!

    ~"It is in human nature to relax, when not compelled by personal advantage or disadvantage"~Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

    “There's a difference between interest and commitment. When you're interested in doing something, you do it only when it's convenient. When you're committed to something, you accept no excuses; only results.”
