“Boxing is not about your feelings. It’s about performance.”

Obey God’s law first before considering the laws of man.

Nothing personal – I am just doing my job.

I know what poverty is.

I come from a poor family.

Nobody can say that I’m lazy in training.

I’m happy to help people.

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

The religion is a personal thing in my life and fighting in the ring, it’s boxing. It’s my profession. God always gives me strength.

I was in tailoring business, I sold flowers on the street, I worked construction and many odd jobs.

I’m doing this for my family and my country.

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.

I am very happy that Floyd Mayweather and I can give the fans the fight they have wanted for so many years.

If you practice hard, you can win every battle.

I can be a champion and a public servant also.

In boxing, you never know who you’re going to face in the ring.

If we don’t have God in our life, we’re considered dead.

Because I’ve always been a runner I love to feel that my body is shining on the inside. I wear baggy clothes, so it’s not as though I like showing it off. I just like to know I’m great on the inside.

The foundation of a good relationship with intentions & goals is keeping in mind that the primary aim of setting and working toward them is to feel the way you want to feel.

A large number of us have developed a feeling that architects tend to design houses for the approval of fellow architects and critics, not for the tenants.

I spent so many years just saying what I felt without thinking about the ramifications, without understanding that I have this opinion but not everyone might share that opinion and now they don’t like me because of it.

I’m not an equipment nut. I tend to use whatever’s at hand. I have several cameras, of course, but I’m not emotional about any of them

I have no romantic feelings about age. Either you are interesting at any age or you are not. There is nothing particularly interesting about being old – or being young, for that matter.

The spiritual life is a life beyond moods. It is a life in which we choose joy and do not allow ourselves to become victims of passing feelings of happiness or depression.

See if you can give yourself gifts that may be true blessings, such as self-acceptance , or some time each day with no purpose. Practice feeling deserving enough to accept these gifts without obligation – to simply receive from yourself, and from the universe.
