They must find a peak or a ridge that they can reach under their own power alone. — William O. Douglas

Virtue lies in looking upwards, toiling upwards, and sometimes joyously leaping from one precarious crag of fact and feeling to the next. — Fay Weldon

One thing you can't beat in this world is time. I learnt that the hard way. You can't play basketball forever. You can't play football forever. You can't bodybuild forever.

There's only so much the body can do and once you're done, you can't go back in time. — Ronnie Coleman
The time must come to all of us, who live long, when memory is more than prospect.

With respect to the authority of great names, it should be remembered that he alone deserves to have any weight and influence with posterity, who has shown himself superior to the particular and predominant error of his own times; who, like the peak of Teneriffe, has hailed the intellectual sun before its beams have reached the horizon of common minds. — Charles Caleb Colton

And (unlike subsequent inventions for man's convenience) the more he used it, the fitter his body became.

Progress should have stopped when man invented the bicycle. — Elizabeth West

Then I can bring out one hundred percent, which makes me satisfied with myself. This is my goal. — Yuna
I think Pete Sampras has really reached his peak. About the only thing he doesn't do is cook. — Michael Chang
Our growing ability to eliminate the slow-moving aspects of entertainment and go hopping from one peak to another is not without cost. Stand-up comics, movie-makers and others who earn their living entertaining no longer "waste" time with setups and plot development, lest we reach for the remote and click them off our screen. The result is a loss of subtlety, anticipation and nuance and, in the process, a coarsening of our discourse. — William Raspberry
