RUMINATIONS

Through the Ages – by Prof. Sandy

The immortal gods have made it so:
To achieve excellence, we first must sweat.
    –Hesiod, Works and Days 700 BC

We in no way dispute that exercise … can sometimes be hard and, when it is being performed, unpleasant. But good health is not incompatible with some discomfort.
    –Mercuriale, De Arte Gymnastica 1573

It is not a mind, it is not a body that we are training: it is man, and he ought not to be divided into two parts.
    –Montaigne (1533-1592)

We are what we repeatedly do,
Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
    –Aristotle (384-322 BC)

Not less than two hours a day should be devoted to exercise, and the weather shall be little regarded. If the body is feeble, the mind will not be strong.
    –Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826)

Movement is the silent music of the body.
    –William Harvey (1578-1657)

(From Sweat; A History of Exercise by Bill Hayes)

    RUNNIN’ OFF AT THE MOUTH

    “Running is the greatest metaphor for life, because you get out of it what you put into it.” –Oprah Winfrey

    “In running, it doesn’t matter whether you come in first, in the middle of the pack or last. You can say, ‘I have finished.’ There is a lot of satisfaction in that.” –Fred Lebow, New York City Marathon co-founder

    “One run can change your day, many runs can change your life.” –Unknown

    “I don’t run to add days to my life, I run to add life to my days.” –Ronald Rook (Rerun from 11/15/25)
