“Everyone has a will to win but very few have the will to prepare to win.”

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.

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.

Wherever a dancer stands is holy ground.

You cannot be on one hand dedicated to peace and on the other dedicated to violence. Those two things are irreconcilable.

I have dedicated my life to the way of Allah, Most High.

Sometimes you have to create the thing you want to be part of.
