• Your body, the only one you will ever have, is the foundation of your life. And it’s either an anchor limiting your freedom and potential or a source of radiant energy, vitality and joy, elevating your life and the lives of those around you. It’s your choice… will yours be a source of strength, from which you will impact the world, or an obstacle, preventing you from your dreams and desires? … As my friend, NFL Hall of Fame quarterback John Elway is fond of saying,'If you’re going to bother setting a goal, aim high!'… My advice to you, aim high; aim for strength.

• And every year there is a brief, startling moment
  When we pause in the middle of a long walk home and
  Suddenly feel something invisible and weightless
  Touching our shoulders, sweeping down from the air:
  It is the autumn wind pressing against our bodies;
  It is the changing light of fall falling on us.

  Edward Hirsch

• The Possibilities in racing tactics are almost unlimited, as in a game of chess, for every move there is a counter, for every attack there is a defense....

• If the estimated age of the cosmos were shortened to seventy-two years, a human life would take about ten seconds. But look at time the other way. Each day is a minor eternity of over 86,000 seconds. During each second, the number of distinct molecular functions going on within the human body is comparable to the number of seconds in the estimated age of the cosmos. A few seconds are long enough for a revolutionary idea, a startling communication, a baby's conception, a wounding insult, a sudden death. Depending on how we think of them, our lives can be infinitely long or infinitely short.

• And each year now
  we know more, but we know no better —
  what we see in the sky is simply
  the softened gloss of the past sifting
  back to us, and likewise, every atom
  down the body’s shining length
  was inside a star, and will be again.
