    I was just about to post that one! Some more cycling-related ones:

    "Ride lots." - Eddy Merckx, when asked how to become a better rider.
    “When my legs hurt, I say: “Shut up legs! Do what I tell you to do!” – Jens Voigt

    Then there's also Rule #5: HTFU (Harden The *kitten* Up). I have a decal of this one on my road bike.
