"He paused fiercely, rejoicing in his strength and charges into the fray. He laughs at fear, afraid of nothing, He does not shy away from the sword. The quiver rattles against his side, along with the flashing spear and lance. In frenzied excitement he eats up the ground. He cannot stand still when the trumpet sounds."

-God

Here's a few of my favorites.  I literally have a Word document with about 50 of these...

-Once upon a time I could barely get through a really short run without huffin and puffin...and now I still huff and puff...but it's in the Boston Marathon.

-If you are willing to pay the price that others will not, you will reap the benefits that others will not

-One day your life will flash before your eyes. Make sure its worth watching.

-Champions do not become champions when they win the event, but in the hours, weeks, months and years they spend preparing for it. The victorious performance itself is merely... the demonstration of their championship character. -T. Alan Armstrong, author

-The only good race pace is suicide pace, and today looks like a good day to die  -Pre

Love the Teddy Roosevelt critic speech, one of my favorites.  Here are a few more.

"But I firmly believe that any man's finest hour -- his greatest fulfillment to all he holds dear -- is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle - victorious."
~Vince Lombardi

This one came from my tennis double partner a few years ago but it still makes me chuckle to this day during a terrible workout.

me - (playing terrible doubles)

partner - "Man, you are really struggling today.  You need to go to plan B."

me - "What is plan B?"

Partner - "Stop sucking!"

I'm also a fan of the ever famous "Suck it up cupcake."
