I live my life like everyday is my last.

I come from a poor family.

Life is meant to be a challenge, because challenges are what make you grow.

It's just a game. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.

Boxing is not for killing each other.

If you practice hard, you can win every battle.

Even in my prime, I need God in my life because without God, we're nothing.

I’ve worked in construction, in a factory sewing clothes. I also sold flowers and doughnuts - just odd jobs to try to make 10 pesos, which is equivalent to 20 cents.

Theres 3 things you need to remember in boxing, work hard, work harder, and work hardest

I've always fought for my country, in my own way, showing that Filipinos are a strong people and can do anything that they put their minds to.

My success is not about the wealth and fame. I am most concerned with my relationship to God, which is the most important.

Why not? Why not anything? If God ain’t a God of why nots, than I say ‘Why bother, ’ and I don’t think that’s takin his name in vain, I think it’s tellin the truth about what people need.

At the core of all well-founded belief lies belief that is unfounded.

The doom of a nation can be averted only by a storm of flowing passion, but only those who are passionate themselves can arouse passion in others.

When you grow up, your heart dies.

A baby is expected. A trip is expected. News is expected. Forgetfulness is expected. An invitation is expected. Hope is expected. But memories are not expected. They just come.

Fame, if not double fac'd, is double mouth'd, And with contrary blast proclaims most deeds; On both his wings, one black, the other white, Bears greatest names in his wild aery flight.

I definitely don't want to do drama. I'm not looking to branch out into that world.

No star ever rose or set without influence somewhere.

It's fun to get out in the field. I really enjoy that. It's fun creating.

To me, horses and freedom are synonymous.
