Emil Zatopek

“Great is the victory, but the friendship of all is greater.”

“I will run with perfect style when they start judging races for their beauty, like figure-skating. For now, I just want to run as fast as possible.”

“A runner must run with dreams in his heart, not money in his pocket.”

“If you want to run, run a mile. If you want to experience a different life, run a marathon.”

“An athlete cannot run with money in his pockets. He must run with hope in his heart and dreams in his head.”
