“Just put it to your personality, put it to yourself, and you develop your workout. Cause those books and things, those are other people’s gimmicks and hypes.”

Build your own gimmick and hype, and that’ll make you a better powerlifter. Not just doin’ it like James does it, cause if you try to fly off the building like superman you’ll be out there in the middle of the street.

My poor little New Zealand: exporting frozen meat in peace, live meat in war.

And what I’m telling you now is not for you to go out and try the same ways I try, or not to even try my technique.

All that I know about my life, it seems, I have learned in books.

I believe the Bible is the best gift God has ever given to man. All the good from The Savior of the world is communicated to us through this Book.

Books serve to show a man that those original thoughts of his aren’t very new after all.

If I read a book that impresses me, I have to take myself firmly by the hand, before I mix with other people; otherwise they would think my mind rather queer.

You cannot open a book without learning something.

The person who deserves most pity is a lonesome one on a rainy day who doesn’t know how to read.

All I have learned, I learned from books.

Get books, sit yourself down anywhere, and go to reading them yourself.
