If my training goes well and according to plan I feel that I am capable of a top 8 finish in Athens. It will be a very difficult and technical course which will be to my advantage.

Whenever the occasion arose, he rose to the occasion.

For 6 days a week I aim to get in between 18-23 miles.

Yep, I'll stay a Brisbane Lion, you've heard it first.

Call it loyalty, call it what you want, but I suppose I've got people up here who I'm really tight with, we've made a lot of great bonds over the last few years and I've got people in my corner I can trust.

My wife and I came to Canada for the 1994 Commonwealth Games and we really liked the B.C. lifestyle and environment. The following year we applied to become permanent residents. We moved here in 1996 after the Atlanta Olympics.

My favourite quality workout is 6 X 5 minutes with 1 minute rest between each.

The British have given me good support for the last 8 years and have always believed in me.

We have been in Victoria for 3 years now after moving here from Vancouver. Victoria is a great place to live and we plan on staying especially as the kids are now in school.

I can't see myself leaving the club I grew up supporting... it's one of those things, the money's great but I still get paid reasonably well from the Lions and at the end of the day I think job satisfaction is the No.1 priority and I just love it up here.

If my training goes well and according to plan I feel that I am capable of a top 8 finish in Athens. It will be a very difficult and technical course which will be to my advantage.

Twice a week I'll run fast quality workouts either on the track or road.

I've completed the first part of my preparations without injury problems. My speed is good and I'm doing lots of volume for strength.

My sisters and I were fortunate to travel through Asia and Europe at very young ages. We confronted extraordinary beauty in Athens and unspeakable poverty in India.

As in Athens, the right to participate was restricted to men, just as it was also in all later democracies and republics until the twentieth century.

I am not going to let Athens affect the rest of my life.

An Aristotle was but the rubbish of an Adam, and Athens but the rudiments of Paradise.

In cities like Athens, poor houses lined narrow and tortuous streets in spite of luxurious public buildings.

This is Port of Spain to me, a city ideal in its commercial and human proportions, where a citizen is a walker and not a pedestrian, and this is how Athens may have been before it became a cultural echo.

A great city, whose image dwells in the memory of man, is the type of some great idea. Rome represents conquest; Faith hovers over the towers of Jerusalem; and Athens embodies the pre-eminent quality of the antique world, Art.

It was appointed by law in Athens, that the obsequies of the citizens who fell in battle should be performed at the public expense, and in the most honorable manner.

At Athens, wise men propose, and fools dispose.

When the freedom they wished for most was freedom from responsibility, then Athens ceased to be free and was never free again.

A few of the sublimest geniuses of Rome and Athens had some faint discoveries of the spiritual nature of the human soul, and formed some probable conjectures, that man was designed for a future state of existence.

Justice will not come to Athens until those who are not injured are as indignant as those who are injured.

So, we went from being an Athens band to being a Georgia band to being a Southern band to being an American band from the East Coast to being an American band and now we're kind of an international phenomenon.

What has Athens to do with Jerusalem?

How great are the dangers I face to win a good name in Athens.

The Olympic Games of the Modern Era began in 1896 in the city of Athens.

When we first started, we were a band from Athens and that was so off the map.

If my training goes well and according to plan I feel that I am capable of a top 8 finish in Athens. It will be a very difficult and technical course which will be to my advantage.

Athens will again be the host of the Games in 2004, but there are rumors that they might be switched if the Greeks don't begin to construct the sites faster.

I don't want the United States to be Athens on the Potomac.

I would like to be a philosopher in ancient Athens and a poet in ancient China.

People aren't familiar with wheelchair sports. The only film crew in Athens for the Paralympics was the documentary crew.

The successful establishment of a buffer zone around Fort Carson will provide an example for other bases around the country as we seek to protect the training mission of the U.S. military while preserving critical habitats on our ranges.

For me, being in front of the camera and training go hand in hand.

The most important training, though, is to experience life as a writer, questioning everything, inventing multiple explanations for everything. If you do that, all the other things will come; if you don't, there's no hope for you.

The young people look great on television. They're youthful and have a lot of zip and energy, but when you see them live, they can only do about 20 minutes because they haven't got the training to hold an audience for an hour and a half or so.

The growth of technology is such that it is not possible today for a nuclear physicist to switch into medical physics without training. The field is now much more technical. More training is needed to do the job.

You can hit your legs really hard, you can get very, very sore from training and I love that, but, the one I'd feel most on stage is legs. But, the thing that happens is once the adrenalin kicks in, that's the trigger.

We need to work together, on a bipartisan basis, to create new jobs, increase job training, enact real and substantive middle class tax relief, and reward companies that create jobs at home.

We have a training period; we have certain guidelines and structure. You can't hire talented people and stifle them. That's not the way it works anymore.

I was training to be an electrician. I suppose I got wired the wrong way round somewhere along the line.

Dancing is a wonderful training for girls, it's the first way you learn to guess what a man is going to do before he does it.

We all laughed. It was more like that whole thing that I was talking about earlier. You go to training camp and after the season is over, you might not see the guys for six months until you go back to training camp.

You mean guys don't get injured in spring training? Guys get hurt walking down the street.

The cultivation of sensibility on purely personal lines may, in fact, be the very worst training for a world where only the corporate and the cooperative will matter.

I am fully prepared to be commander in chief... I don't need on-the-job training.
