I live below my means because it makes what I do seem less like a job and more like a passion.

The ladies kept telling me I wasn't good in bed, so I figured if I wasn't a lover then I must be a fighter

My philosophy on getting knocked out is that it renders you unconscious and numb, so why worry about it.

Genius is insanity right up until it works.

Do things that make your body and mind scream at you to quit, but don't.

There's two things you need to know. One, that you won't quit on yourself, and two, that I've done the work.

Any big task if you look at the grand picture... it seems to big to accomplish, so just watch the footstep in front of you... And that's what I do; try and win little battles every day.

Mental toughness must be developed before you start fighting because you don't want to be that guy who quits in the ring.

Control all the variables you can... don't worry about the rest.

If you're humble in defeat, everyone may still kick you, but they won't kick you as much.

Fear is a good thing because it keeps you alive, but if it becomes so great that it hinders you from doing what you want, you need to confront it head-on

With a decision and a defined purpose, you can begin work.

to live at all is to be bruised

There’s a big difference, I discovered, between wanting to die and not wanting to live. When you want to die, you at least have a goal. When you don’t want to live, you’re really just empty.

Watching the summer close is like watching a good kid die for no apparent reason.

I'll tell you a secret. We live in a mad and inspiring world.

My favorite...continues to be Kevin Zraly's 'Windows on the World'.

Our enemies are a radical network of terrorists - and every government that supports them.

My house is burned, but I can see the sky.

If I give up drinking, smoking, and fatty foods, I can add ten years to my life. Trouble is, I'll add it to the wrong end.

Peter is an old friend. I'm heartbroken, but he's also a tough guy. I'm counting on him getting through this very difficult passage.
