John Bingham Quotations

The only magic in our lives as runners is the magic of consistency. Not every run will make you feel great.

All from other lands, who by the terms of [congressional] laws and a compliance with their provisions become naturalized, are adopted citizens of the United States; all other persons born within the Republic, of parents owing allegiance to no other sovereignty, are natural born citizens. Gentleman [sic] can find no exception to this statement touching natural-born citizens except what is said in the Constitution relating to Indians.

Trying harder doesn’t always equal more success; it leads to more frustration, less satisfaction, and giving up.

You already have everything you need to be a long-distance athlete. It's mindset, not miles, that separates those who do from those who dream.

I'm not sure who invented dodgeball, but I can almost guarantee you that it wasn't the shortest kid in the class.

I'm not saying running could solve all of the world's problems, but I think it would be a good start.

Don't let worn-out beliefs stop you from moving beyond yourself.

Every human being born within the United States of parents not owing allegiance to any foreign sovereignty is in the language of your Constitution itself, a natural born citizen.

Marathons are about tenacity as much as talent.

It isn’t a matter of getting the body you want, it’s a matter of doing the most you can with the body you have.
