“Fatigue makes cowards of us all.”

The strength of the group is the strength of the leaders.

Practice does not make perfect. Only perfect practice makes perfect.

Nobody is hurt. Hurt is in the mind. If you can walk, you can run.

Offensively, you do what you do best and you do it again and again. Defensively, you attack your opponent’s strength.

I derived my strength from daily mass and communion.

The real glory is being knocked to your knees and then coming back. That’s real glory. That’s the essence of it.

If you really want something , you can have it if you’re willing to pay the price. And the price means you have to work better and harder than the next guy.

If you can’t get emotional about what you believe in your heart, you’re in the wrong business.

Once a man has made a commitment to a way of life, he puts the greatest strength in the world behind him. It’s something we call heart power. Once a man has made this commitment, nothing will stop him short of success.

Those who have invested the most are the last to surrender.

One comes to believe whatever one repeats to oneself sufficiently often, whether the statement be true of false. It comes to be the dominating thought in one’s mind.

Confidence is contagious. So is lack of confidence.

It is time for us all to stand and cheer for the doer, the achiever – the one who recognizes the challenges and does something about it.

Dictionary is the only place that success comes before work. Hard work is the price we must pay for success. I think you can accomplish anything if you’re willing to pay the price.

Most important of all, to be successful in life demands that a man make a personal commitment to excellence and to victory, even though the ultimate victory can never be completely won.

If you get into the endzone, act as if you’ve been there before.

The origin of the absurd idea of immortal life is easy to discover; it is kept alive by hope and fear, by childish faith, and by cowardice.

If I’m scared and I’m a coward, why do you guys want to see me fight?

When I went to jail, reality hit so hard that it took my breath away, took my stance away, took my strength away. I was there buck naked, humiliated, sitting in my own crap and urine – this is a metaphor. My ego had run off. Your ego is the biggest coward.

To a coward, courage always looks like stupidity.

The ability and inclination to use physical strength is no indication of bravery or tenacity to life. The greatest cowards are often the greatest bullies. Nothing is cheaper and more common than physical bravery.

The hero and the coward both feel exactly the same fear, only the hero confronts his fear and converts it into fire.

I think everybody likes a person that stands up for themselves. Nobody likes a punk or a coward.

The hero and the coward both feel the same thing, but the hero uses his fear, projects it onto his opponent, while the coward runs. It’s the same thing, fear, but it’s what you do with it that matters.
