Running Quotes (4776 Quotes)


    Claudia knew that she could never pull off the old-fashioned kind of running away. That is, running away in the heat of anger with a knapsack on her pack. She didn't like discomfort; even picnics were untidy and inconvenient: all those insects and the sun melting the icing on the cupcakes. Therefore, she decided that her leaving home would not be just running from somewhere but would be running to somewhere.


    God who protects my people I call upon you to send away the murahaleen. Protect me God protect my family as they run. Oh God of the sky, keep me safe tonight. Keep me hidden, keep me quiet.

You have no right.


    Be a Student of the Game. Like most cliches of sport, this is profound. You can be shaped, or you can be broken. There is not much in between. Try to learn. Be coachable.

    A girl is like a young tree, she said. You must stand tall and listen to your mother standing next to you. That is the only way to grow strong and straight.

And then you will be like a weed, growing wild in any direction, running along the ground until someone pulls you out and throws you away.

    All night long I worried, not about myself but about Jimmy. I imagined him looking for me, running through the park, looking in the movie theatres. He was a good man, considerate and kind, but he was not strong. He had never been through any kind of bad hardship before. So I worried.

    I also have a brand-new prescription for gunfire jitters: When the shooting gets loud, proceed to the nearest wooden staircase. Run up and down a few times, making sure to stumble at least once.

Yours truly has put this magic formula to use, with great success!

    What's different about this club, when you have this many setbacks, it's usually part of why you don't win or you barely squeeze by in the last week of the season with a good but not great record.

    I knew I hit it good, but I wasn't thinking home run. The whole time I was wondering if it was going to be fair or foul.

    I tell you what, we had some great pit calls today. I'm very proud of Kevin and the job he did today. All of the guys rallied behind him this week. It's been a long week, but it's well worth it to get a sixth-place finish and get ourselves back in the running for 11th place.

    It's going to be a long recovery period. It's a big difference if the house is still structurally sound and just needs to be cleaned up, or if it is destroyed and needs to be razed. In the short run, people need to be reminded to be careful and not put themselves in harm's way.

    We have to remember that we were 12-7-2 last year, not 17-3-1. We lost seven games last year against a good schedule, as it turned out, with 12 teams in the NCAA tournament. We went 6-6 against those 12 teams, so we need to be better than that. That's the challenge before the players. We just had a good year. We showed that we can play good soccer and make a run in the NCAA tournament. Now are we going to be able to reproduce the same kind of effort



    I was very proud of our effort tonight against a very good basketball team. We made a run at them but they withstood like a veteran team does. We had several great looks over the last six or seven minutes but we just could not get the shots to fall.
