Everyone who has run knows that its most important value is in removing tension and allowing a release from whatever other cares the day may bring. – Jimmy Carter
To pray is to pay attention to something or someone other than oneself. Whenever a man so concentrates his attention — on a landscape, a poem, a geometrical problem, an idol, or the True God — that he completely forgets his own ego and desires, he is praying. – W. H. Auden
