Walter Inglis Anderson Quotes
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.
