George Sheehan Quotes

UNTIL I TOOK UP Distance Running, I Found It Easy To Take It Easy. I Had No Difficulty Following The Warnings Of The Experts. "Avoid Stress," Cautioned The Physicians. I Did. "Reduce Your Tensions," Advised The Psychologists. I Did. "Rest That Restless Heart," Counseled The Clergy. I Did. Doing These Things Requires No Effort When You Are Lacking What Santayana Called America's Ruling Passion - A Love For Business - When You Are A Lifelong Non-joiner Whose Greatest Desire Is Not To Become Involved, When Almost Everyone You Meet Is Less Interesting Than Your Own Ideas, And When Your Inner Life Has More Reality Than Your Outer One.
