Quote by Carl Lewis

Scientists have proven that it's impossible to long-jump 30 feet, but I don't listen to that kind of talk. Thoughts like that have a way of sinking into your feet.

By refusing to be swayed by doubtful thoughts, he emphasizes the significance of maintaining a positive mindset in achieving seemingly unattainable goals.

Furnished as all Europe now is with Academies of Science, with nice instruments and the spirit of experiment, the progress of human knowledge will be rapid and discoveries made of which we have at present no conception.
