Rowing Quotes

Take a look at your natural river. What are you? Stop playing games with yourself. Where’s your river going? Are you riding with it? Or are you rowing against it? Don’t you see that there is no effort if you’re riding with your river? Picture Quote #1

Rowing provided a place to go, a community where people cared about what I did and what I achieved Picture Quote #1

It was like falling off a building and suddenly, bang, you hit the bottom. The first time it happened was on an ordinary day at home. I was taking down some curtains. I took one step, turned around, took another step and then I fell and hit my head hard on the rowing machine Picture Quote #1

Virtue dwells at the head of a river, to which we cannot get but by rowing against the stream Picture Quote #1

That evening, rowing on the quiet river as sunset turned to dusk, I saw an occasional smoky smudge on the towpath, always slightly ahead of me, like a dark star guiding me home Picture Quote #1

If you could get all the people in an organization rowing in the same direction, you could dominate any industry, in any market, against any competition, at any time Picture Quote #1

Without a doubt, rowing is the hardest thing you can attempt to lean in a short period of time Picture Quote #1

Rowing is a sport for dreamers. As long as you put in the work, you can own the dream Picture Quote #1

I have come to the conclusion that rowing alone won’t bring top of the line erg scores. The two are really completely different. The motion is, of course, fairly similar to rowing. However moving your own body back and foth on a machine that doesn’t move is a challenge that cannot be mastered unless it is trained. Therefore, I believe that people who only row will find it harder to pull scores on the erg that are in the highest percentile Picture Quote #1

Picasso spent hundereds of hours carefully planning his masterpieces. The sketchbooks were filled with ideas, bits and pieces, test runs, none of it meant to be seen by anyone. In a similar way, rowing practices are our sketchbooks, where we prepared our raceday masterpiece Picture Quote #1

The ergometer simulates the physical demands of rowing, packaging the pains with none of the amenities that make it worthwhile Picture Quote #1

Rowing is such a fine sport. Everyone goes backward, and the leader can see his opponents as they struggle in vain Picture Quote #1

Once one is beyond a certain level of commitment to the sport, life begins to seem an allegory of rowing rather than rowing an allegory of life Picture Quote #1

One training device is the ergometer. I never owned one, never trained on one, and practically never used one. The few national team tests I took on ergs were dismal failures, which worked wonders to further my dislike of these beastly creatures. Boring. Tedious. Noisy. Ergs have greatly cheapened rowing. Graceless. Greasy. Grim. The erg is to rowing what having sex by yourself is to having sex. Stop it! Picture Quote #1

Rowing against the tide is hard and uncertain. To go with the tide and thus take advantage of the workings of the great natural force is safe and easy Picture Quote #1
