More quotes by Percy Cerutty
Thus I urge you to go onto your greatness if you believe it is in you. Think deeply and separate what you wish from what you are prepared to do.
Percy Cerutty
I have found life highly competitive. I accept it. It is useless, merely a hypocritical humbug, to sincerely wish your opponent to win. If you are out to win you are better not wanting to know your opponent, much less grow to like him - and wish him, honestly success over you. I have never functioned that way.
Percy Cerutty
The mastery of the true self, and the refusal to permit others to dominate us, is the ultimate in living and self-expression in athletics.
Percy Cerutty
The introduction of resistance in form of sand and hill is too important to be ignored.
Percy Cerutty
Ignore, then, whether you are tall and thin or short and stocky- whether they laughed at you at home (where they are often unkind) or at school (where they are mostly blind, anyway). Indeed-to hell with the lot of them if you 'feel' you can do it.
Percy Cerutty
If you die, I will bury you in the sandhills with all the other runners.
Percy Cerutty
Vincit qui patitur: he conquers, who endures.
Percy Cerutty
While a man is racing he must hate himself and his competitors.
Percy Cerutty
I'm not interested in athletics, I'm only interested in achievement. Fix your goal and work for it.
Percy Cerutty
Hard things take time to do. Impossible things take a little longer.
Percy Cerutty
Endurance? You've only got to get out there and do it. Face up to it: man was meant to run.
Percy Cerutty
If it hurts, make it hurt more.
Percy Cerutty
Run hard, be strong, think big!
Percy Cerutty
Runners don't run with their legs, they run ON their legs. In reality, they run with their Arms!
