I am a quote guy. I love quotes. I am inspired, motivated and moved by quotes. In fact of the 1,000,001 journals I have most of them are either filled or half-filled with quotes. This obsession started somewhere between my mission and college and then I just kind of ran with it from there.
But, I love relating quotes I find to running, dreaming and overcoming challenges. Nothing off the beaten path when it comes to quotes. But, I love making these lists so others can find some pretty awesome quotes themselves. And, as always, if you have a quote or two that speaks to you I'd love for you to share it in the comments below!
Anyways, without further adieu, here are some quotes ...
