A Quote by Barbara Kingsolver

There are always more questions. Science as a process is never complete. It is not a foot race, with a finish line.... People will always be waiting at a particular finish line: journalists with their cameras, impatient crowds eager to call the race, astounded to see the scientists approach, pass the mark, and keep running. It's a common misunderstanding, he said. They conclude there was no race. As long as we won't commit to knowing everything, the presumption is we know nothing.

At least in a race you have mile markers and know how long you have to go. Labor is like running as hard as you can without knowing where the finish line is.

Lorraine Moller

I'm different than most people. When I cross the finish line of a big race, I see that people are ecstatic, but I'm thinking about what I'm going to do tomorrow. It's as if my journey is everlasting, and there is no finish line.

Life is a Sisyphean race, run ever faster toward a finish line that is merely the start of the next race

Matt Ridley

It is not how you start the race or where you are during the race-it is how you cross the finish line that will matter.

Robert D. Hales

In no organized sport do the participants have to endure days of struggle just to get to the starting line of their event. The option to drop out of a race that is going badly does not exist for a climber halfway up a big route, and may entail more risk than pushing on. A team of volunteers will not be waiting with warm blankets and hot food at the next bivy ledge. When you reach the summit, having overcome the challenges that inspired you for months or years, you are not at the finish line. The race is not over. You can't relax and let your guard down like a normal athlete.

Steve House

One should always try to do the best you possibly can. I'm not in a race to the finish line - I won't put anything out until it's completely ready. You want to keep it special and unique for the customer.

L'Wren Scott

To be successful one must make change an ongoing process. Quality is a race with no finish line.

David T. Kearns

Life is the only race you'll run where you don't know where the finish line is.

Steve Farrar

I think the race went as well as it could and I drove well to finish sixth. The chassis is working better and through the corners we are more or less there; we'll move onto Europe and see if we can get further up the grid and keep improving. The weekend went pretty smooth for me until the end of the race, I don't know what happened, but the team will have a look at it.

Daniel Ricciardo

Reaching the finish line, never walking, and enjoying the race. These three, in this order, are my goals.

Haruki Murakami

In the race for quality, there is no finish line

David T. Kearns

The race for excellence has no finish line.

Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum

Suffering produces the very endurance that will enable you to reach the finish line of the race set before you.

Catherine Martin

The at-home mother's life: it was a race with no finish line.

At 10 minutes to seven on a dark, cool evening in Mexico City in 1968, John Stephen Akwari of Tanzania painfully hobbled into the Olympic Stadium-the last man to finish the marathon. The winner had already been crowned, and the victory ceremony was long finished. So the stadium was almost empty and Akwari - alone, his leg bloody and bandaged - struggled to circle the track to the finish line. When asked why he had continued the grueling struggle, the young man from Tanzania answered softly: My country did not send me 9,000 miles to start the race. They sent me 9,000 miles to finish the race.
