“My biggest weakness is my sensitivity. I am too sensitive a person.”

I felt the same fear in my first fight as I did in my last fight. It never goes away.

You never lose until you actually give up.

Most fighters are the most humble people in the world because they’ve gotten their ass kicked before.

I normally don’t do interviews with women unless I fornicate with them.

I’m just like you. I enjoy the forbidden fruits in life, too.

These books ain’t window dressing. I think Machiavelli’s the most sophisticated writer outside of Shakespeare. Way ahead of his time. Such a manipulative person. Everything he accomplished he did by kissin’ ass.

Every great general and warrior from the beginning of time was high.

This white woman came up to me, and I’m thinking, WOW. When I was a kid, she would have been robbed and raped and left for dead. This is a real strange scenario, and I just wanted to cry. I’m like, “Who am I? Where’s my heritage?

In order to succeed greatly, you have to be prepared to fail greatly. If you can’t do both of them, you’ve got a problem.

As human beings, nobody gets out of this world free. We all have to do some suffering before we leave.

Anger is my biggest enemy in life.

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

Remember that failure is an event, not a person.

A person’s life purpose is nothing more than to rediscover, through the detours of art or love or passionate work, those one or two images in the presence of which his heart first opened.

The person, be it gentleman or lady, who has not pleasure in a good novel, must be intolerably stupid.

I don’t trust people who don’t love themselves and tell me, I love you. There is an African saying which is: Be careful when a naked person offers you a shirt.

Anyone who is observant, who discovers the person they have always dreamed of, knows that sexual energy comes into play before sex even takes place.

I think it’s healthy for a person to be nervous. It means you care.

Be the person you wish to become – today. Talk like them, walk like them, breathe like them! Be them now!
