“God only expects man and woman to be together and to be legally married, only if they so are in love with each other.”

I was just doing my job in the ring and doing my best to make people happy.

You’re still my idol.

I want the people of the Philippines to be happy, even if they have nothing.

In the morning, I wake up at about 6 a.m. and I run for about 45 minutes, then more sprinting. Then I go back home, I eat and I sleep. When I wake up, I train – I do about three hours in the gym…

My concern is what fight we can give to the fans. My first concern as a boxer is to try hard and give a good fight for the fans.

I don’t have secrets in my life. Everything is out there.

No notes. You speak from deep in your heart. It’s easy.

I’ve already established my (political)machinery. It’s like a car. It’s fixed already. You just have to get in and drive it.

I could see he was having problems taking my punches. I had no problem taking his.

Life is meant to be a challenge, because challenges are what make you grow.

I did my best. I guess my best wasn’t good enough.

Being a public servant, this is a serious job, not like a boxer, you’re entertaining people.

I wanted to be a world champion.

I have to give people time to take a picture, and sign autographs. I have to be generous to people. It is in my heart. Without that, I would not be Manny Pacquiao.

I don’t even remember if he hurt me with even one punch. Amazing what the result is.

I say to Floyd Mayweather Jr., don’t be a coward and face me in the ring, mano a mano, and shut your big, pretty mouth so we can show the world who is the true king of the ring.

I expect some new phases of life this summer, and shall try to get the honey from each moment.

She quietly expected great things to happen to her, and no doubt that’s one of the reasons why they did.

I have great expectations for the future, because the past was highly overrated.

Men show no mercy and expect no mercy, when honor calls, or when they fight for their idols or their gods.

It is frequently a misfortune to have very brilliant men in charge of affairs. They expect too much of ordinary men.

I deal in emotions. It’s the harmonic side that’s important. That’s the side I expected to be much further along on than I am now. That just means to say that I’ve got to keep at it.

It’s time to let go, be guided and expect miracles.

I’m over 30 now, but I didn’t expect to be here.
