I do not talk about my weaknesses, I work on them.

Years ago we hardly had anything to eat. Now I earn more money and I see every opponent as a man that tries to put me back to that poorer period. That man has to be eliminated.

The one who doesn't fall, doesn't stand up.

I like this feeling of weariness after training, when I'm walking home exhausted, dragging my feet. I like this a lot.

Spirit, like body, needs to be trained. So I think it's necessary to make your spirit stronger. And for he who believes, anything is possible.

A strong person will not be nervous and not express aggression towards his opponent... he will face the fight calm and balanced.

My weight is not enough and strength is not enough either, so I have to take the fight by mastery.

During the fight my senses dim, and basically, I don't feel any pain.

I've never pumped myself up or made myself angry as some sportsmen do. I think that one should treat his opponent with great respect.

A real strong fighter should always look dignified and calm... I believe that any expression of aggression is an expression of weakness.

One who does not fall, does not stand up.

We must succeed and finish our course with joy

You're not on your own. You're doing things with other people. This is very important for me.

One needs something to believe in, something for which one can have whole-hearted enthusiasm. One needs to feel that one's life has meaning, that one is needed in this world.

I find a face beautiful, good looking, attractive, and all the terms you want to use, once I know them.

He who controls others may be powerful, but he who has mastered himself is mightier still.

Run after God. Be who you're created to be, and you'll run into the people who are doing the same thing, and those are the people that you'll want to be with.

When whole races and peoples conspire to propagate gigantic mute lies in the interest of tyrannies and shams, why should we care anything about the trifling lies told by individuals?

I had hoped to let the one-half cent sales tax sunset this year, but we do not believe revenues will grow as fast as we hoped for the rest of the year.

We're just not ready for the retirement of the Baby Boomers. And we'd better prepare for that.

I think the emotional toolbox I have is healthy for an actor, as far as the intensity of emotions go. It's other things I have to hone. I can swim in that comfortably.
