“Fight the strong urge to judge someone based on an initial interaction with them. Everyone has a fascinating story that we know nothing about.”

The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.

Our relationships are stronger when they contain a spiritual component. There are three different ways to become good friends with someone.

Think: Is this in my control? If yes, you can do something about it. If no, then you cannot do anything about it. Therefore, in both circumstances, why worry?

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.

To accept someone when everything is going right is easy. But when things are falling apart around you and you stick together, that’s the test of a relationship. Love is when we have every reason to break up but we do not.

Meditation is like a plane: It first takes you high, then far away and then further away imperceptibly.

The first step in selflessness is to practise it with our family.

It is strange that sword and words have the same letters.

I can fight, but that’s the only thing I can do. When it comes to anything other than fighting or talking, I’m not very good.

We all have struggles in life but we have to continue to fight.

Some guys like to fight on even playing grounds, and some guys like to cheat.

I’m surprised that the fight was kind of easy.

They say I don’t fight guys unless they’re on a respirator. That’s incorrect. They have to be at least 3 days off a respirator.

Right now I’m inspired to fight for the honour of my country.

Every time someone starts talking about weight, it takes away from the fight. No one is born at that weight. We grew into that weight. It is all about the challenge, more so than the weight.

I’m like the man who is always supposed to fight, but never ends up fighting. He just spends money.
