“Right now I’m inspired to fight for the honour of my country.”

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.

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

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.

In the morning, I wake up at about 6 a.m. and I run for about 45 minutes, then more sprinting. Then I go back home, I eat and I sleep. When I wake up, I train – I do about three hours in the gym…

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.

If an asteroid is coming toward you, you don’t have to blow it up. You just have to slow it down long enough for our country to rotate out of the way.

Burn down your cities and leave our farms, and your cities will spring up again as if by magic; but destroy our farms and the grass will grow in the streets of every city in the country.

I do think the patriotic thing to do is to critique my country. How else do you make a country better but by pointing out its flaws?

We need more people speaking out. This country is not overrun with rebels and free thinkers. It’s overrun with sheep and conformists.

Anti-Semitism is a noxious weed that should be cut out. It has no place in America.

The great monopoly in this country is the money monopoly. So long as it exists, our old variety of freedom and individual energy of development are out of the question.

A playwright lives in an occupied country. And if you can’t live that way you don’t stay.

What is the most innocent place in any country? Is it not the insane asylum? These people drift through life truly innocent, unable to see into themselves at all.
