"God, grant me the serenity
To accept the things I cannot change;
The courage to change the things that I can;
And the wisdom to know the difference."

We cannot change the cards we are dealt, just how we play the hand."
— Randy Pausch (The Last Lecture)

If you’re afraid of falling, hitting your knees, afraid of the obstacle, or of any other obstacles in your life, don’t try the hurdles.”

-Reggie Towns, 1983 NCAA 110m hurdles

“The hurdles have taught me that if you work really, really hard at perfecting the little things in your life, the big picture will come together.”

–John Shaffer, 400m hurdler for Marquette University
