“Well you know it’s dangerous in politics, because especially in the Philippines there’s a lot of killing in politics.”

All those who are around me are the bridge to my success, so they are all important.

For me, boxing isn’t about hurting each other. Boxing is entertainment and making people happy.

The biggest fight in my life is not in boxing. The biggest fight in my life is how to end poverty in my country.

I eat the same foods almost every day. I have my favorites like Filipino beef broth, chicken soup with lots and lots of rice.

I want to be the best fighter. I would like to fight in the biggest fights.

I’m always having fun in training and in boxing. I think it’s because boxing is my passion.

We have a job to do. After the fight, I’ll love him.

As for me, I always train for 12 rounds just in case. I don’t train for three, four, one, or 10 rounds – I have to train for 12 because you never know what will happen that night.

I was just doing my job in the ring and doing my best to make people happy.

You’re still my idol.

I want the people of the Philippines to be happy, even if they have nothing.

My concern is what fight we can give to the fans. My first concern as a boxer is to try hard and give a good fight for the fans.

I don’t have secrets in my life. Everything is out there.

No notes. You speak from deep in your heart. It’s easy.

Mind: A beautiful servant, a dangerous master.

Success is always dangerous. It can make an asshole out of anybody.

No one is more dangerously insane than one who is sane all the time: he is like a steel bridge without flexibility, and the order of his life is rigid and brittle.

You know the trouble with real life? There’s no danger music.

The truth is a double-edged sword; it is a dangerous thing.

A little learning, indeed, may be a dangerous thing, but the want of learning is a calamity to any people.

He is many things – dangerous and devious, cunning and deadly, a good friend and an implacable enemy – but he comes from an age when a man’s word was indeed precious.

Solitude is dangerous. It’s very addictive.
