As an athlete you're taught to be selfish. When I'm training, it's usually all about me.

Some people like to call me cocky or arrogant, but I just think 'how dare you assume I should think less of myself'

One of my mom's best lines is... You're not training to be the best in the world, you're training to be the best in the world on your worst day.

You have to have fear in order to have courage.

Judo taught me that I am capable of anything... I can mentally push past anything and be victorious.

Life is a fight from the minute you take your first breath to the moment you exhale your last.

I'm scared of failure all the time. But not scared enough to stop trying.

Don't doubt, don't stop... The only 2 things that can stop you is to stop working and start doubting.

You have to fight because you can't count on anyone else fighting for you. And you have to fight for people who can't fight for themselves. To get anything of real value, you have to fight for it.

One thing that I learned from judo... Maximum efficiency and minimum effort.

I train to be the best in the world on my worst day

Great men are allowed to spill the blood of others.

Live up to your convictions. You walk in grace or you walk in fear. You can't have it both ways.

Anybody that's been through a divorce, and I hope it's something people never have to experience, it's the worse thing in the world.

Kindly words, sympathizing attentions, watchfulness against wounding men's sensitiveness-these cost very little, but they are priceless in their value.

To be good and disagreeable is high treason against the royalty of virtue.

Nothing is more vital than prayer in Christian existence, and few things are more vulnerable to neglect.

I was a kid who lived to read. It was the primary pleasure of my existence. It's still one of the primary pleasures of my existence. It's where I draw my sustenance.

Before I would hurt a child, I would slit my wrists.

A wise person speaks carefully and with truth, for every word tht passes between one's teeth is meant for something.

People got to do something useful if they're going to take up space in the world.
