“Better to fight for something than live for nothing.”

War is the supreme test of man in which he rises to heights never approached in any other activity.

No good decision was ever made in a swivel chair.

May God have mercy for my enemies because I won’t.

All very successful commanders are prima donnas and must be so treated.

There is only one sort of discipline, perfect discipline.

War is the only place where a man lives.

Pressure makes diamonds.

A good plan violently executed right now is far better than a perfect plan executed next week.

I have never seen a brave man. All men are frightened. The more intelligent they are, the more they are frightened.

Success in war depends on the golden rules of war: speed, simplicity, and boldness.

When in doubt, ATTACK!

Fatigue makes cowards of us all.

I don’t measure a man’s success by how high he climbs but how high he bounces when he hits bottom.

I am a soldier, I fight where I am told, and I win where I fight.

Many soldiers are led to faulty ideas of war by knowing too much about too little.

Moral courage is the most valuable and usually the most absent characteristic in men.

Fighting is a sport; if you’re not humble it’s going to bring humbleness to you.

Everyone has a plan ’till they get punched in the mouth.

I will fight for your right to be weird- just as I know you will fight for mine.

I realised that I could either fight and get into trouble on the street or I could fight and get paid in the ring. I chose the ring.

It’s unnatural to fight somebody who has nothing against you and never did anything to you or to your family, who never stole anything from you. And now you’ve got to go and try to dismantle this guy.

Everybody you fight is not your enemy and everybody who helps you is not your friend.

I fight for perfection.

It’s not so much about conquering Madison Square Garden or Vegas. The opponents who I fight will take me all around different venues and arenas. I need to conquer opponents.
