• In addition to the well-known benefits of health and well-being derived from exercise, there are other unique advantages to being a runner. You are more attuned to not only your body but also the world around you.

As you depend on these things to accommodate your activity, you grow to understand and appreciate them.

Once discipline weakens and vanishes, as it does towards the latter stages of the fire fight, and the crowd instinct possesses the soldier, then will he, if training has formed those necessary mental reflexes, surrender himself to the will of his leader; this is where leadership supplants discipline without destroying it.

• Every writer is necessarily a critic - that is, each sentence is a skeleton accompanied by enormous activity of rejection; and each selection is governed by general principles concerning truth, force, beauty, and so on.

• En cualquier actividad, debemos saber a qué atenernos, cómo alcanzar nuestros objetivos y qué capacidad poseemos para la tarea propuesta. Los únicos que pueden decir que han renunciado al fruto son los que, así equipados, no sienten ningún deseo por los resultados de la conquista y permanecen absortos en el combate. Se puede renunciar al fruto, pero esta renuncia no significa indiferencia hacia el resultado.

• Iron and coal dominated everywhere, from grey to black: the black boots, the black stove-pipe hat, the black coach or carriage, the black iron frame of the hearth, the black cooking pots and pans and stoves. Was it a mourning? Was it protective coloration? Was it mere depression of the senses? No matter what the original color of the paleotechnic milieu might be it was soon reduced by reason of the soot and cinders that accompanied its activities, to its characteristic tones, grey, dirty-brown, black.
