Quotes

Quotes I like enough to post (because I want to remember them). This list will grow.

Pain is temporary. Quitting lasts forever.
~Lance Armstrong

I have always struggled to achieve excellence. One thing that cycling has taught me is that if you can achieve something without a struggle it's not going to be satisfying.
~Greg LeMond

~Greg LeMond

It never gets easier, you just go faster.
~Greg LeMond

To be a cyclist is to be a student of pain....at cycling's core lies pain, hard and bitter as the pit inside a juicy peach. It doesn't matter if you're sprinting for an Olympic medal, a town sign, a trailhead, or the rest stop with the homemade brownies. If you never confront pain, you're missing the essence of the sport. Without pain, there's no adversity. Without adversity, no challenge. Without challenge, no improvement. No improvement, no sense of accomplishment and no deep-down joy. Might as well be playing Tiddly-Winks.
~Scott Martin

Nobody wants to hear you whine.
~Mike Magnuson in "Heft on Wheels"
