“The secret of my success over the 400m is that I run the first 200m as fast as I can. Then, for the second 200m, with God's help, I run faster.”

“I believe God made me for a purpose, but he also made me fast. And when I run I feel His pleasure.”

“In the dust of defeat as well as the laurels of victory there is a glory to be found if one has done his best.”

“We are all missionaries. Wherever we go, we either bring people nearer to Christ or we repel them from Christ.”

“Obedience to God's will is the secret of spiritual knowledge and insight.”

“Circumstances may appear to wreck our lives and God's plans, but God is not helpless among the ruins.”

“Christ must be Lord of all, or He is not Lord at all.”

“Complete surrender to God is the only way to spiritual power.”

“It is not the reason for the struggle that makes the man, but the man's reaction to the struggle.”

“God's guiding hand, in all things.”
