I need to get everything straight. I'm not involved in a power struggle between black and white.

If my mind can conceive it, if my heart can believe it, then I can achieve it.

You could be the world's best garbage man, the world's best model; it don't matter what you do if you're the best.

I hated every minute of training, but I said, 'Don't quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion.'

Rest but never quit. Even the sun has a sinking spell each evening. But it always rises the next morning. At sunrise, every soul is born again.

Religion should not be allowed to come into Politics....Religion is merely a matter between man and God.

I do not believe in taking the right decision, I take a decision and make it right.

Don't count the days, make the days count.

There are two powers in the world; one is the sword and the other is the pen. There is a great competition and rivalry between the two. There is a third power stronger than both, that of the women.

Even the greatest was once a beginner. Don't be afraid to take that first step.

Champions aren't made in the gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them-a desire, a dream, a vision.

May you receive the wisdom of your wounds and may you live your life even larger than your pain.

Wisdom is a kind of knowledge. It is knowledge of the nature, career, and consequences of human values.

Art is for healing ourselves, and everybody needs their own personal art to heal up their problems.

I salute you for your courage, and I applaud your perseverance, and I embrace you for your faith in the face of adversarial forces.

Without courage we will simply accumulate a collection of good ideas and regrets.

Up to a certain point anxiety is good, for it promotes action. Beyond that point we freeze any fixed attitudes or rush about without thinking deeply from one decision to another.

The gospel cannot be preached and heard enough, for it cannot be grasped well enough.

Most organizations staff their problems & starve their opportunities.

Around us there is the presence of evil. The devil is at work. But in a loud voice I say: GOD IS STRONGER.

To me the most important thing in a piece of art is the thought. Technique is totally secondary.
