More quotes by Haile Gebrselassie
When you run the marathon, you run against the distance, not against the other runners and not against the time.
Haile Gebrselassie
He was not a runner, my father, but he was quick. I always remember it was very difficult to escape from him when he was angry. If he wanted to beat us he would always catch us. Even me, he could always catch me.
Haile Gebrselassie
Since I achieved something, running has exploded in my country. For me sometimes it is difficult even to know who the athletes are who are competing at the highest level. There are thousands.
Haile Gebrselassie
When you promise something, you must fulfill it.
Haile Gebrselassie

Haile Gebrselassie
I find the business world hard.
Haile Gebrselassie
I remember in particular my first victory when I achieved a very fast time in what were perfect conditions but since then the wind has always been a factor against me.
Haile Gebrselassie
Life is a kind of struggle. Life is a sort of fight.
Haile Gebrselassie
I love running and I will always run.
Haile Gebrselassie
I feel a social responsibility. We need to open people's eyes. There is a lack of education in Ethiopia.
Haile Gebrselassie
What is important is to win.
Haile Gebrselassie
Some people start a sport just to reduce weight, or some say, 'My doctor ordered me to run and do exercise', and for others, they run for completely different benefits. But it is not like that with sport. We need to eat, we need to rest, but also we need to run.
Haile Gebrselassie
