In NASCAR, you don't have to be as physically strong as in some other forms of racing. You've just got to be able to endure the heat and endurance of it. Jeff Gordon

Does anybody really think that they didn't get what they had because they didn't have the talent or the strength or the endurance or the commitment?Nelson Mandela
Endurance, after all, is the only reason we even exist. We think of ourselves as nature's deadliest animals, but the truth is, a naked human is the biggest wimp in the wild. We have no fangs, no claws, no strength, and no speed. Christopher McDougall
For to be poised against fatality, to meet adverse conditions gracefully, is more than simple endurance; it is an act of aggression, a positive triumph. Thomas Mann
Humans are built for endurance, not speed. We're awful sprinters compared to every other animal. We try to run our races as if they were speed races, but they are not. They're endurance races. Even a marathon, the way it's run now, it's not an endurance contest. Christopher McDougall
I have a lot of endurance and I have a good background right now in my training and it's time to get ready. Ryan Lochte
I'd try to channel my nervous energy in a positive way into strength and endurance. It didn't always work.Kristi Yamaguchi
My biggest weakness as a endurance athlete has been in not drinking enough water after training, thereby racing sometimes while dehydrated. Bill Rodgers

The first virtue in a soldier is endurance of fatigue; courage is only the second virtue.Napoleon Bonaparte
To an extreme athlete, there's a certain appeal to doing extreme things - seeking the most extreme physical challenges in some of the most extreme climates in the world. Testing and expanding the limits of human endurance is kind of my thing. Dean Karnazes
When I was younger, I used to wrestle, and I feel that it contributed to my athletic ability because as a wrestler you have to be an all-encompassed athlete. You need stamina, strength, endurance and mental capacity. You also have to learn how to adapt in any situation. Dhani Jones
Yes, my dad's a marathoner. He used to do sprint distances and then started marathoning. My mom is an endurance animal. She does three-day events like the Susan G. Komen three-day walk. Dean Karnazes
