Levi Leipheimer

There is no way of getting up it pretty. You just gotta give it everything you've got, suffer, put on your ugly face, and go for it.

(Pre-stage 12 interview in 2010 Tour de France talking about a 3km 10% hill at the end of the stage)

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Enthusiasm is one of the most powerful engines of success. When you do a thing, do it with your might. Put your whole soul into it. Stamp it with your own personality. Be active, be energetic, be enthusiastic and faithful, and you will accomplish your object. Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.

No life ever grows great until it is focused, dedicated, and disciplined.
