World Quotes

Men who have lived significant lives are men who never waited: not for money, security, ease, or women.

Every moment waited is a moment wasted, and each wasted moment degrades your clarity of purpose.

We’re really lucky to live in a planet that has so much music. We could be living in some bland planet that had no music, no movies, no books, just a bunch of people going around having jobs and things like that.

Running was a part of my hardwiring, and that's what I wanted to do. So this is what I tell people who talk about wanting to follow their passion. 'It doesn't have to be running. It can be basket weaving. Be the best basket weaver in the world. Throw your heart and soul into it.'
Dean Karnazes
