If you are training properly, you should progress steadily. This doesn't necessarily mean a personal best every time you race. . . Each training session should be like putting money in the bank. If your training works, you continue to deposit into your 'strength' account. . . Too much training has the opposite effect. Rather than build, it tears down. Your body will tell when you have begun to tip the balance. Just be sure to listen to it.
Thomas Jefferson
The country is headed toward a single and splendid government of an aristocracy founded on banking institutions and moneyed incorporations and if this tendency continues it will be the end of freedom and democracy, the few will be ruling. . . I hope we shall. . . crush in its birth the aristocracy of our moneyed corporations which dare already to challenge our government to trial and bid defiance to the laws of our country. I sincerely believe that banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies.
