There is something that can happen to every athlete and every human being; the instinct to slack off, to give in to pain, to give less than your best; the instinct to hope you can win through luck or through your opponent not doing his best, instead of going to the limit and past your limit where victory is always found. Defeating those negative instincts that are out to defeat us, is the difference between winning and losing - and we all face that battle every day. ~ Jesse Owens
Jesse Owens quotes by Jesse Owens
He was highly annoyed by the series of triumphs by the marvelous colored American runner, Jesse Owens. People whose antecedents came from the jungle were primitive, Hitler said with a shrug; their physiques were stronger than those of civilized whites and hence should be excluded from future games. ~ Albert Speer
Jesse Owens quotes by Albert Speer
It's like having a pet dog for a long time. You get attached to it, and when it dies you miss it. ~ Jesse Owens
Jesse Owens quotes by Jesse Owens
I met Jesse Owens once. He was a remarkable individual, and I have tremendous respect for what he did in the Olympics under the circumstances. ~ Lee Trevino
Jesse Owens quotes by Lee Trevino
Every morning, just like in Alabama, I got up with the sun, ate my breakfast even before my mother and sisters and brothers, and went to school, winter, spring, and fall alike to run and jump and bend my body this way and that for Mr. Charles Riley. ~ Jesse Owens

They walked on in silence for a while, until Rudy said, "I just wish I was like Jesse Owens, Papa." This time, Mr. Steiner placed his hand on Rudy's head and explained, "I know, son - but you've got beautiful blond hair and big, safe blue eyes. You should be happy with that; is that clear?" But nothing was clear. ~ Markus Zusak
Jesse Owens quotes by Markus Zusak
Life doesn't give you all the practice races you need. ~ Jesse Owens
Jesse Owens quotes by Jesse Owens
Jesse Owens?" Mr. Steiner was the type of man who was very wooden. His voice was angular and true. His body was tall and heavy, like oak. His hair was like splinters. "What about him? ~ Markus Zusak
Jesse Owens quotes by Markus Zusak
It was bad enough to have toppled from the Olympic heights to make my living competing with animals. But the competition wasn't even fair. No man could beat a race horse, not even for 100 yards. ~ Jesse Owens
Jesse Owens quotes by Jesse Owens
People who worked with me or knew me still called me the 'world's fastest human' because I almost never stopped. I'd found that I could get more done with no regular job or regular hours at all, but by being on my own, flying to speak here, help with a public relations campaign for some client there, tape my regular jazz radio show one morning at 5:00 a.m. before leaving on a plane for another city or another continent three hours later to preside over a major sporting event. ~ Jesse Owens
Jesse Owens quotes by Jesse Owens
Although I wasn't invited to shake hands with Hitler, I wasn't invited to the White House to shake hands with the President either. ~ Jesse Owens
Jesse Owens quotes by Jesse Owens
When I came back, after all those stories about Hitler and his snub, I came back to my native country, and I could not ride in the front of the bus. I had to go to the back door. I couldn't live where I wanted. Now what's the difference? ~ Jesse Owens
Jesse Owens quotes by Jesse Owens
To me, we must learn to spell the word RESPECT. We must respect the rights and properties of our fellowman. And then learn to play the game of life, as well as the game of athletics, according to the rules of society. If you can take that and put it into practice in the community in which you live, then, to me you have won the greatest championship. ~ Jesse Owens
Jesse Owens quotes by Jesse Owens
Championships are mythical. The real champions are those who live through what they are taught in their homes and churches. The attitude that 'We've got to win' in sports must be changed. Teach your youngsters, who are the future hope of America, the importance of love, respect, dedication, determination, self-sacrifice, self-discipline and good attitude. That's the road up the ladder to the championships. ~ Jesse Owens
Jesse Owens quotes by Jesse Owens
A lifetime of training for just ten seconds. ~ Jesse Owens
Jesse Owens quotes by Jesse Owens
Find the good. It's all around you. Find it, showcase it and you'll start believing in it. ~ Jesse Owens
Jesse Owens quotes by Jesse Owens
I wouldn't have raced a horse. But you'll then throw back at me that Jesse Owens raced against a horse, and he's one of my heroes, so I'm not going to say it was a silly stunt. I know too much about horses. They're highly unreliable, and they've got brains the size of golf balls. ~ Sebastian Coe
Jesse Owens quotes by Sebastian Coe
Someday find my son...tell him about how things can be between men on this Earth."
--A Letter to Jesse Owens ~ Luz Long
Jesse Owens quotes by Luz Long
The road to the Olympics, leads to no city, no country. It goes far beyond New York or Moscow, ancient Greece or Nazi Germany. The road to the Olympics leads - in the end - to the best within us. ~ Jesse Owens
Jesse Owens quotes by Jesse Owens
Friendships born on the field of athletic strife are the real gold of competition. Awards become corroded, friends gather no dust. ~ Jesse Owens
Jesse Owens quotes by Jesse Owens
The battles that count aren't the ones for gold medals. The struggles within yourself - the invisible, inevitable battles inside all of us - that's where it's at. - Jesse Owens ~ Adam Goucher
Jesse Owens quotes by Adam Goucher
The only bond worth anything between human beings is their humanness. ~ Jesse Owens
Jesse Owens quotes by Jesse Owens
In America anyone can still become someone. ~ Jesse Owens
Jesse Owens quotes by Jesse Owens
It all goes so fast, and character makes the difference when it's close. ~ Jesse Owens
Jesse Owens quotes by Jesse Owens
We all have dreams. But in order to make dreams come into reality, it takes an awful lot of determination, dedication, self-discipline, and effort. ~ Jesse Owens
Jesse Owens quotes by Jesse Owens
I knew [Jesse Owens'] name, but I really didn't remember what it is he had done, so I felt like I had to get refreshed. So I read the script and I realized like, wow, this is an incredible human being. I told my manager, however I had to do it, let me see the director; I got to play him. ~ Stephan James
Jesse Owens quotes by Stephan James
We used to have a lot of fun. We never had any problems. We always ate. The fact that we didn't have steak? Who had steak? ~ Jesse Owens
Jesse Owens quotes by Jesse Owens
When I first got the call from my manager asking if I'd ever heard of Jesse Owens, I recognized the name, looked him up, and was blown away by his story. ~ Stephan James
Jesse Owens quotes by Stephan James
People come out to see you perform and you've got to give them the best you have within you. ~ Jesse Owens
Jesse Owens quotes by Jesse Owens
I always loved running ... it was something you could do by yourself, and under your own power. You could go in any direction, fast or slow as you wanted, fighting the wind if you felt like it, seeking out new sights just on the strength of your feet and the courage of your lungs. ~ Jesse Owens
Jesse Owens quotes by Jesse Owens
Jesse Owens had to be a very strong person. There were a lot of protests, but I think that he knew, despite the pressure on both sides, the pressure to go and the pressure not to go, he had to do it for himself. Unknowingly, he changed the world and broke so many barriers by doing so, by being a leader. ~ Stephan James
Jesse Owens quotes by Stephan James
Well, I couldn't play an instrument. I'd just stand up front and announce the numbers. They had me sing a little, but that was a horrible mistake. I can't carry a tune in a bucket. We played black theaters and nightclubs all over hell. One-nighters. Apollo Theater in Harlem and the Earle Theater in Philly - That was big time for blacks. ~ Jesse Owens
Jesse Owens quotes by Jesse Owens
I fought, I fought harder ... but one cell at a time, panic crept into my body, taking me over. ~ Jesse Owens
Jesse Owens quotes by Jesse Owens
And I'm not too great at that sort of comforting thing, especially when my hands are cold and the bed is warm. I carried him softly through the broken street, with one salty eye and a heavy, deathly heart. With him I tried a little harder. I watched the contents of his soul for a moment and saw a black-painted boy calling the name Jesse Owens as he ran through an imaginary tape. I saw him hip-deep in some icy water chasing a book, and I saw a boy lying in bed, imagining how a kiss would taste from his glorious next door neighbour. He does something to me, that boy. Every time. He steps on my heart. He makes me cry. ~ Markus Zusak
Jesse Owens quotes by Markus Zusak
One day or another every athlete feels like taking it easy. He stops trying to exceed his limits, and thinks he can keep winning because of his lucky star, or the bad luck of his opponents. You must overcome this negative instinct, which affects all of us, and which is the only difference between the person who wins a race, and those who lose. This is the battle you have to fight every day of your life. ~ Jesse Owens
Jesse Owens quotes by Jesse Owens
I've had some experience in track and field in school, but I did have to train to be able to play Jesse Owens - to be a runner, to be an Olympian. ~ Stephan James
Jesse Owens quotes by Stephan James
In the space of less than seven days, I attended a track meet in Boston, flew from there to Bowling Green for the National Jaycees, then to Rochester for the blind, Buffalo for another track meet, New York to shoot a film called The Black Athlete, Miami for Ford Motor Company, back up to New York for 45 minutes to deliver a speech, then into L. A. for another the same night. ~ Jesse Owens
Jesse Owens quotes by Jesse Owens
Hitler didn't snub me - it was FDR who snubbed me. The president didn't even send me a telegram. ~ Jesse Owens
Jesse Owens quotes by Jesse Owens
The secret is, first, get a thoroughbred horse because they are the most nervous animals on earth. Then get the biggest gun you can find and make sure the starter fires that big gun right by the nervous thoroughbred's ear. ~ Jesse Owens
Jesse Owens quotes by Jesse Owens
After I came home from the 1936 Olympics with my four medals, it became increasingly apparent that everyone was going to slap me on the back, want to shake my hand or have me up to their suite. But no one was going to offer me a job. ~ Jesse Owens
Jesse Owens quotes by Jesse Owens
"She (Minnie Ruth Solomon) was unusual because even though I knew her family was as poor as ours, nothing she said or did seemed touched by that. Or by prejudice. Or by anything the world said or did. It was as if she had something inside her that somehow made all that not count. I fell in love with her some the first time we ever talked, and a little bit more every time after that until I thought I couldn't love her more than I did. And when I felt that way, I asked her to marry me ... and she said she would." ~ Jesse Owens
Jesse Owens quotes by Jesse Owens
I let my feet spend as little time on the ground as possible. From the air, fast down, and from the ground, fast up. ~ Jesse Owens
Jesse Owens quotes by Jesse Owens
It dawned on me with blinding brightness. I realized: I had jumped into another rare kind of stratosphere - one that only a handful of people in every generation are lucky enough to know. ~ Jesse Owens
Jesse Owens quotes by Jesse Owens
Snyder was a progressive. Unlike Avery Brundage of the AOC and Dean Cromwell of USC, he was far from sympathetic to the Nazi cause. But his first loyalty was to Jesse Owens. He thought that if Owens got the chance to compete, he would win every event he entered. He knew, too, that then Owens would never have to look back. Of course, it is also crucial to remember that Snyder's opinion was not informed by the gift of foresight. Like the AOC, he did not know, as we now know, that there would be a holocaust, that Hitler and his regime would eventually kill millions, that the Germans would attack Poland, France, and the Soviet Union. If he had known, he would have felt differently about the boycott. But in 1935 it was still possible to assume that European Jewry was not on the precipice of extinction, just as it was possible to believe that Hitler was not quite a madman. Everyone knew that Hitler disliked the Jews, but few imagined that he would attempt to exterminate them. In ~ Jeremy Schaap
Jesse Owens quotes by Jeremy Schaap
That was my goal in portraying Jesse Owens: bringing that level of humanity so people could understand who he was as a person. ~ Stephan James
Jesse Owens quotes by Stephan James
To learn that a man can make foolish plays for no reason whatever was a valuable lesson. It cost me millions to learn that another dangerous enemy to a trader is his susceptibility to the urgings of a magnetic personality when plausibly expressed by a brilliant mind. It has always seemed to me, however, that I might have learned my lesson quite as well if the cost had been only one million. But Fate does not always let you fix the tuition fee. She delivers the educational wallop and presents her own bill, knowing you have to pay it, no matter what the amount may be. ~ Jesse Livermore
Jesse Owens quotes by Jesse Livermore
Jesse Dittley kicked in the door. It was a slow-motion kick because his leg was so long - there was a considerable lag between when he began to swing his leg and when his foot actually hit the door. Blue wondered what that was called. A leg roundhouse, or something. ~ Maggie Stiefvater
Jesse Owens quotes by Maggie Stiefvater
Bethlehem in Judah, j named Jesse, k who had ~ Anonymous
Jesse Owens quotes by Anonymous
Representation, then, is not - nor can it be - neutral; it is an act - indeed the founding act - of power in our culture. ~ Craig Owens
Jesse Owens quotes by Craig Owens
Like I have said all along, I have the best doctor of all, and that is God. You can't argue with a guy like that. ~ Terrell Owens
Jesse Owens quotes by Terrell Owens
Humor. Two unconnected things are suddenly united by a paradigm shift. It is hard to describe, but we all know it when it happens. Weirdly, it causes us to make a barking noise. ~ Jesse Schell
Jesse Owens quotes by Jesse Schell
Acting forces me to socialise, which is good for me, I think. ~ Jesse Eisenberg
Jesse Owens quotes by Jesse Eisenberg
There is nothing new in Wall Street. There can't be because speculation is as old as the hills. Whatever happens in the stock market today has happened before and will happen again. ~ Jesse Lauriston Livermore
Jesse Owens quotes by Jesse Lauriston Livermore
No other profession in America has directly or indirectly affected the lives of so many people a has the teaching profession. ~ Jesse Stuart
Jesse Owens quotes by Jesse Stuart
Position yourself in the center of God's love. Believe in His love and walk in the power of His might. ~ Jesse Duplantis
Jesse Owens quotes by Jesse Duplantis
If you try you may fail, if you don't try you're guaranteed to fail. ~ Jesse Jackson
Jesse Owens quotes by Jesse Jackson
In tough economic times, desperate people do desperate things, and the abortion rate goes up. ~ Jesse Jackson
Jesse Owens quotes by Jesse Jackson
Government's role should be only to keep the playing field level, and to work hand in hand with business on issues such as employment. But beyond this, to as great an extent as possible, it should get the hell out of the way. ~ Jesse Ventura
Jesse Owens quotes by Jesse Ventura
Why had Jesse asked Scarlett to sit next to him? And since when did guys go to the bathroom together? ~ Lauren Conrad
Jesse Owens quotes by Lauren Conrad
Leadership cannot just go along to get along. Leadership must meet the moral challenge of the day. ~ Jesse Jackson
Jesse Owens quotes by Jesse Jackson
The first rule of Zombieland: Cardio. When the zombie outbreak first hit, the first to go, for obvious reasons ... were the fatties. ~ Jesse Eisenberg
Jesse Owens quotes by Jesse Eisenberg
I thought that if acting didn't work out, I'd have done law school or medical school: probably law to be honest. ~ Jesse Williams
Jesse Owens quotes by Jesse Williams
Organized religion is a sham and a crutch for weak-minded people who need strength in numbers. It tells people to go out and stick their noses in other people's business. I live by the golden rule: Treat others as you'd want them to treat you. The religious right wants to tell people how to live. ~ Jesse Ventura
Jesse Owens quotes by Jesse Ventura
That lying..." Jesse turned the key in the ignition before exploding. "Destroying papers that don't belong to him and acting as though he was doing his sister a favor."
"And having a good laugh at our expense." Zane swore under his breath.
"With that smile in place,he completely transformed himself from Scrooge to jovial Old Saint Nick." Wyatt grew thoughtful. "You have to admit that he made a smart move.We'll never know how many pages of Nathaniel's journal or how many of Coot's notes and maps were in those boxes."
Jesse drove the truck along the main street. "Now what?"
Wyatt shrugged. "Ledge won this round. We'll just have to come up with another way to entice him back into the ring."
Zane stared at the sunlight glinting off the peaks of Treasure Chest in the distance. "Maybe he's already won the fight and we just don't know it. ~ R.C. Ryan
Jesse Owens quotes by R.C. Ryan
When you do a play, you have the kind of nightly feeling of accomplishment. But you also have the daily dread of the doing it every night. And because you're doing the whole thing every day, it's like climbing up the mountain every single night. With a movie it's like climbing the mountain very slowly, over months of filming. ~ Jesse Eisenberg
Jesse Owens quotes by Jesse Eisenberg
I hardly remember what I was thinking then. We got a different set of circumstances facing us now, and sounds to me like you're risking an awful lot for this girl you've hardly had the chance to know." "Maybe I am," Jesse said, heart sinking under the strain come between him and Cade. "And call me a fool for it. But I think I've known her since I first looked into her eyes. I love her, Pa. ~ Lori Benton
Jesse Owens quotes by Lori Benton
Can you be there for me? Just in case I need someone to hold my sword for me?'
I did a little bow with my head.
'Why, my princess, I thought you'd never ask. ~ L.J. Shen
Jesse Owens quotes by L.J. Shen
Mom was asking me to resume a friendship that had no honest foundation and ended on screamingly awkward terms. How do you do that? You can't. ~ Jesse Andrews
Jesse Owens quotes by Jesse Andrews
I don't understand why you are so unhappy about it," Jesse said. He had stretched out across the tiles, contented as I'd ever seen him. "I like it much better this way."
"What way?" I groused. I couldn't get quite as comfortable. I kept finding prickly pine needles beneath my butt.
"Just the two of us," he said with a shrug. "Like it's always been. ~ Meg Cabot
Jesse Owens quotes by Meg Cabot
People are interested in writing, and often there's an unjustifiable sense of people to believe my talking to them for the book is going to accord them any sort of fame. Which it won't. At the same time, they can be more circumspect if they know they're on the record. ~ Jesse Kellerman
Jesse Owens quotes by Jesse Kellerman
When you create more small businesses, you create small entrepreneurship. Out of that comes self-determination and employment. ~ Jesse Jackson
Jesse Owens quotes by Jesse Jackson
When playing a role, I would feel more comfortable, as you're given a prescribed way of behaving. So, both Facebook and theatre provide contrived settings that provide the illusion of social interaction. ~ Jesse Eisenberg
Jesse Owens quotes by Jesse Eisenberg
I don't have a Facebook page because I have little interest in hearing myself talk about myself any further than I already do in interviews or putting any more about myself online than there already is. ~ Jesse Eisenberg
Jesse Owens quotes by Jesse Eisenberg
So yeah. Jesse Walker was giving me the silent treatment. I was probably the only person who could claim that honor. ~ Nicole Williams
Jesse Owens quotes by Nicole Williams
Jesse, you're not going to lose me. I had the situation totally under control." Sort of. "But I have to say that after so many years of you keeping your feelings for me hidden out of propriety, it's really nice to hear you say all those things. Plus, it's emotionally healthy that you're letting them out this way. Keep unburdening yourself." I wrapped my arms around his neck. "What is it exactly, that you find so irresistible about me? Is it my magnetic personality? Or my emerald green eyes? Or maybe it's just my hot bod?" I felt something against my torso. "Oh, I'm getting the impression that it's my hot bod. ~ Meg Cabot
Jesse Owens quotes by Meg Cabot
The Constitution guarantees us our rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That's all. It doesn't guarantee our rights to charity. ~ Jesse Ventura
Jesse Owens quotes by Jesse Ventura
My position is that it isn't government's job to mandate patriotism. To me, mandating a pledge of allegiance to a government is something Saddam Hussein would do. ~ Jesse Ventura
Jesse Owens quotes by Jesse Ventura
George Bush keeps saying that terrorists keep attacking us because we have freedom here in America. So what, the solution is to take away our freedoms and they won't attack us? ~ Jesse Ventura
Jesse Owens quotes by Jesse Ventura
I ain't eatin out in no Lawrenceville," said Earl with disdain ~ Jesse Andrews
Jesse Owens quotes by Jesse Andrews
I still bite my nails. ~ Jesse McCartney
Jesse Owens quotes by Jesse McCartney
Jeez, on those TV real-life cop shows they don't do this. They got all kinds of guys with microscopes and computers figuring shit out.' 'We're a small department,' Jesse said. 'We can't afford smart people.' 'This could be a total waste of time,' Simpson said. 'Ah,' Jesse said, 'you are beginning to understand the intricacies of police work. ~ Robert B. Parker
Jesse Owens quotes by Robert B. Parker
Strive for the 4 hour work week. The rest of the time run like hell. ~ Jesse Petersen
Jesse Owens quotes by Jesse Petersen
Just remember, without discipline, a clear strategy, and a concise plan, the speculator will fall into all the emotional pitfalls of the market - jump from one stock to another, hold a losing position too long, and cut out of a winner too soon, for no reason other than fear of losing profit. Greed, Fear, Impatience, Ignorance, and Hope will all fight for mental dominance over the speculator. Then, after a few failures and catastrophes the speculator may become demoralised, depressed, despondent, and abandon the market and the chance to make a fortune from what the market has to offer. ~ Jesse Lauriston Livermore
Jesse Owens quotes by Jesse Lauriston Livermore
Keep your foot on the devil's neck by standing on the Word of God, and you will see tremendous results! ~ Jesse Duplantis
Jesse Owens quotes by Jesse Duplantis
Slave owner Edmund Plowden, who lived in what is now St. Mary's County, Maryland, owned sixty-four slaves and rented out three men - Gerard, Tony, and Jack - to work at the Capitol. Although Plowden did not lift a single stone or cut down a single tree, he made $15 a month off of the Capitol construction. He was only required to provide his slaves with a blanket. ~ Jesse J. Holland
Jesse Owens quotes by Jesse J. Holland
Mom has never allowed video games in the house, except for the educational kind, like Math Blaster, and that wasn't so much to teach us that video games sucked. ~ Jesse Andrews
Jesse Owens quotes by Jesse Andrews
When you drink fluoridated water, you're drinking liquid Prozac. You drink enough of it, even though it's a small amount, drink it for decades and decades and what does Prozac do to you? It dumbs you down; it makes you docile. ~ Jesse Ventura
Jesse Owens quotes by Jesse Ventura
If somebody had told me my method would not work I nevertheless would have tried it out to make sure for myself, for when I am wrong only one thing convinces me of it, and that is, to lose money. And I am only right when I make money. That is speculating. ~ Jesse Lauriston Livermore
Jesse Owens quotes by Jesse Lauriston Livermore
It is foolhardy to make a second trade, if your first trade shows you a loss. Never average losses. Let this thought be written indelibly upon your mind. ~ Jesse Lauriston Livermore
Jesse Owens quotes by Jesse Lauriston Livermore
Luck was too good just to fade into nothing. Jesse wouldn't allow it.
But no matter what, big or small, world tours or holidays at home in Chicago, he, Shane, Nick, and Dre were a team. They were going to do it all, together ~ Piper Vaughn
Jesse Owens quotes by Piper Vaughn
As an actor, you are in a unique position because you're not only memorizing dialogue but really embodying it. You naturally feel the rhythm of good writing. ~ Jesse Eisenberg
Jesse Owens quotes by Jesse Eisenberg
Isaiah 11.1-9 goes a step further, giving this picture of the messiah a new depth. The coming messiah, who springs from the house of Jesse, is the true 'anointed one'. Yahweh's ruach will 'rest' on him,
and will equip him with wisdom, understanding, counsel and strength, and with the fear of the Lord' (cf. 11 Sam. 23.2). His legitimation depends on the divine righteousness, not on his Davidic origin. He will bring justice to the poor and an equitable judgment to the miserable, and he will defeat the wicked - the oppressors. So the kingdom of his righteousness does not merely embrace poor human beings. He brings peace to the whole of creation, peace between man and beast, and peace among the beasts themselves (vv. 6-8). This kingdom will reach out from his holy place Mount Zion, so that `the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord' - a vision which no doubt corresponds to Isaiah's vision at his call (6.3): `the whole earth is full of his glory'. ~ Jurgen Moltmann
Jesse Owens quotes by Jurgen Moltmann
In general, American slang is much better than English slang. The entire world picks up American slang. ~ Jesse Sheidlower
Jesse Owens quotes by Jesse Sheidlower
As a student studying acting, I was always broke, so going to see any live theater was almost impossible. ~ Jesse L. Martin
