| gptkbp:famousQuote |
"I always loved running. It was something you could do by yourself, and under your own power."
"I’d like to be remembered as a person who is concerned about freedom and equality and justice and prosperity for all people." "It’s not the size of the dog in the fight, it’s the size of the fight in the dog." "The only bond worth anything between human beings is their humanness." "We all have dreams. But in order to make dreams come into reality, it takes an awful lot of determination, dedication, self-discipline, and effort." |
