“You cross me, I’m going to hurt you. But I’m really very gentle.”

To me, it’s offensive. A bouncer likes to get physical, likes to put his hands on people.

Why am I here? I’m not lucky. That’s God.

Life guided me to being a bodyguard, protecting people, then in the movies, so I’m happy with everything because basically all I ever wanted to do was be a good son and take care of my mother.

When I was growing up, my family was so poor we couldn’t afford to pay attention.

Stay humble and be concerned for the less fortunate.

I pity the fool who just gives up.

When I’m ready to fight, my opponent has a better chance of surviving a forest fire wearing gasoline drawers.

This guy Clubber Lang, I’ve been him all my life. He’s mean and hungry just like me.

I could talk all day, T stands for talking, T stands for tender, T stands for things that don’t even rhyme with T.

If you can’t read, the only thing you can do is enjoy the pictures, not the whole story.

My reputation grew because I was a professional. I did my job, and I was courteous – a no-nonsense guy.

I try to motivate people. I try to inspire them.

I was mischievous. I wasn’t bad. I stole food so we could eat. My mother didn’t know.

My mother told me, ‘Son, nobody else but God knows.’ And that’s what I’m about – reaching out to the people, crying with them, giving them hope.

Everybody has done something that we wish we didn’t say or do and wish we could take it back.

WWE asked me to be in the Hall of Fame, and I turned it down. You know why? They put Pete Rose in the wrestling Hall of Fame. This guy can’t even get into his own Hall of Fame.

Only the gentle are ever really strong.

Happy insect! what can be In happiness compared to thee? Fed with nourishment divine, The dewy morning’s gentle wine!

Take something from yourself, to give to another, that is humane and gentle and never takes away as much comfort as it brings again.

Living includes being gentle with your own heart.

Be gentle, always delicate with every soul you meet, for every single morning you wake up, there is someone Wishing, silently and secretly, that they had not.

In the menu, there should be a climax and a culmination. Come to it gently. One will suffice.

Sometimes what’s needed is gentle truths; a soak in pure feelings that honor the real you.

Live a little kinder, a little braver, and a lot more gentle with yourself.
