That's why I love fighting, because I get to have a big battle every couple months to make up for the little battles I have to forfeit every day
People say to me all the time, 'You have no fear.' I tell them, 'No, that's not true. I'm scared all the time. You have to have fear in order to have courage. I'm a courageous person because I'm a scared person.
It's your purpose to leave the world better than how you found it.
No one has the right to beat you.
I never aspired to be 2nd. I was taught... you can do whatever you want in this world, so why not be the best in the world?
I train to be the best in the world on my worst day
A loss leads to victory, being fired leads to a dream job..I find comfort in believing that good things can grow out of tragedy.
If you work hard the fight's easy. If you don't work hard then the fight's hard.
Easy lives make boring people.
I did what sports were supposed to be like, and I was living in my car. So you know what, fine. I'm gonna talk a bunch of sh*t. I'm gonna pose in a couple of pictures. And I'm gonna break a couple of girl's arms, and I'm not gonna feel the least bit sorry about it because you know what? At least I can feed my dog.
If you're unwilling to leave someplace you've outgrown, you will never reach your full potential. To be the best, you have to constantly be challenging yourself, raising the bar, pushing the limits of what you can do. Don't stand still, leap forward.
The confusing thing is we now live in a society where it's not illegal to be an asshole, but it's illegal to slap one.
Don't doubt, don't stop... The only 2 things that can stop you is to stop working and start doubting.
You have to fight because you can't count on anyone else fighting for you. And you have to fight for people who can't fight for themselves. To get anything of real value, you have to fight for it.
