“How to run an ultramarathon? Puff out your chest, put one foot in front of the other, and don't stop till you cross the finish line.”

“Sometimes, she thought, courage was simply a matter of putting one foot in front of another and not stopping.”

“You don’t let a guy put his hand on your chest, and put his foot on the ball and look into your eyes and tell you a bedtime story. No. sorry.”

“From your parents you learn love and laughter and how to put one foot before the other. But when books are opened you discover that you have wings.”

“You never know what's around the corner. It could be everything. Or it could be nothing. You keep putting one foot in front of the other, and then one day you look back and you've climbed a mountain.”

“They carved your name into a stone and then they put it in the ground.

Turns into a dark cloud
And stands like a wall
In front of your eyes”

“I've had a lot of ups and downs, and listen, to still be putting yourself out there on stage at my age, you come against a lot of stuff.

Loving yourself, believing in yourself, putting one foot in front of the other and doing it.”

“Hey porter! Hey porter!

How much longer will it be till we cross that Mason Dixon Line?
At daylight would ya tell that engineer to slow it down?
Or better still, just stop the train,
Cause I wanna look around.”
