A lot of people run a race to see who is fastest. I run to see who has the most guts, who can punish himself into exhausting pace, and then at the end, punish himself even more.

Steve Prefontaine

Why run? I run because I am an animal. I run because it is part of my genetic wiring. I run because millions of years of evolution have left me programmed to run. And finally, I run because there’s no better way to see the sun rise and set... What the years have shown me is that running clarifies the thinking process as well as purifies the body. I think best - most broadly and most fully - when I am running.

Amby Burfoot

First love is ravaging - it just guts you in the most wonderful way, if you can see through it.

Noah Centineo

Some think guts is sprinting at the end of a race. But guts is what got you there to begin with. Guts start back in the hills with 6 miles to go and you're thinking of how you can get out of this race without anyone noticing. Guts begin when you still have forty minutes of torture left and you're already hurting more than you ever remember.

George A. Sheehan

There are nine million people who see me in the ring and hate my guts. Most of them are white. That's okay. Just spell my name right.

Mike Tyson

If you can go through the pain period, you make it to be a champion. If you can't go through it, forget it. And that's what most people lack: having the guts - the guts to go in and just say... "I don't care what happens"

Arnold Schwarzenegger

I'm pouring my guts out so they can feel like your guts at the same time.

Wayne Coyne

Private Joker is silly and he's ignorant but he's got guts and guts is enough.

Stanley Kubrick

I think it's important for the public to know, great reporting starts with a publisher who has guts and an editor who has guts.

Dan Rather

Most kids are smarter than most grown-ups. Kids see the world in black and white... They look through all the garbage and see a world run by fools and dullards and lazy people. And there's nothing they can do about it because they have no power.

Dav Pilkey

If I am to choose two words that best describes myself, they are 'self-esteem' and 'guts.' Guts helped me become a global model.

Sung Jin Park

There's something so universal about that sensation, the way running unites our two most primal impulses: fear and pleasure. We run when we're scared, we run when we're ecstatic, we run away from our problems and run around for a good time.

Christopher McDougall

While democracy in the long run is the most stable form of government, in the short run, it is among the most fragile.

Madeleine Albright

[On journalists:] They are the scavengers of society who, possessing no guts of their own, tear out the guts of celebrities. They have the sycophantic, false enthusing gush of maiden aunts: who are accustomed to being trampled on doormats.

Caitlin Thomas

Very few people really care about freedom, about liberty, about the truth, very few. Very few people have guts, the kind of guts on which a real democracy has to depend. Without people with that sort of guts a free society dies or cannot be born.
