“If you practice hard, you can win every battle.”

I’ve worked in construction, in a factory sewing clothes. I also sold flowers and doughnuts – just odd jobs to try to make 10 pesos, which is equivalent to 20 cents.

If you don’t have God in your life, you are nothing.

Even in my prime, I need God in my life because without God, we’re nothing.

Human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires.

I’m just going to punch him and do my best. If the knockout comes, it comes.

I live my life like everyday is my last.

I’m not against gay people.

Imagine what I would have done with my fire-breathing fists.

It’s just a game. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.

I never compare myself to anybody. I don’t look at my accomplishments compared to anyone. I’m happy with what I’ve accomplished in boxing.

Most of leaders in Philippine politics come from rich family.

Obey God’s law first before considering the laws of man.

Nothing personal – I am just doing my job.

I know what poverty is.

I come from a poor family.

Nobody can say that I’m lazy in training.

When I am in the battlefield, I love it more than my wedding night with the most beautiful of women

Grand strategy is the art of looking beyond the present battle and calculating ahead. Focus on your ultimate goal and plot to reach it.

The wounds received in battle bestow honor, they do not take it away.

You want your sunshine? Battle the storm ahead.

Actually, your past successes are your biggest obstacle: every battle, every war, is different, and you cannot assume that what worked before will work today.

When we let go of our battles and open our hearts to things as they are, then we come to rest in the present moment. This is the beginning and the end of spiritual practice.

Getting healthy isn’t just about losing weight. It’s not limited to adjusting our diet and hoping for good physical results. It’s about recalibrating our souls so that we want to change – spiritually, physically, and mentally. And the battle really is in all three areas.

The toughest battle is fighting with the one you are fighting for.
