Sounds of silence

Marathon training
“A marathoner is a marathoner regardless of time. Virtually everyone who tries the marathon has put in training over months, and it is that exercise and that commitment, physical and mental, that gives meaning to the medal, not just the day’s effort, be it fast or slow. It’s all in conquering the challenge.”
-Mary R. Wittenberg, former president, New York Road Runners
Spiritual training
public opinion
“Sometimes one is guided by what they say of themselves, and very frequently by what other people say of them, without giving oneself time to deliberate and judge.”
― Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen

Putting yourself/other “in a box”?
Getting it done
“There is one thing, Emma, which a man can always do if he chooses, and that is his duty; not by manoeuvring and finessing, but by vigour and resolution. – Mr. Knightley”
― Emma by Jane Austen
