My whole philosophy is working smarter and not harder. And making sure I'm using little effort and getting a huge effect.

Attitude determines effort.

I'm always adapting, I'm always learning, and I'm always changing.

Never let another man put fear in your heart.

You can do anything you put your mind to. I don't care what situation you're in.

No one can do in the octagon what I can do. That 'Showtime Knee' - I never even practiced that once.

I feel like I'm one of the best strikers in MMA. I just need the time to prove it. You haven't really seen my full potential yet.

God doesn't NEED raw material. He MAKES material.

Emotional function and cognitive function aren't unrelated to each other. They're completely intertwined.

If you're a humble person, and you walk in, and you start talking, people are going to be able to tell. You can't fake it.

Nothing is necessary except God, and nothing is less necessary than pain.

Modesty is that feeling by which honorable shame acquires a valuable and lasting authority.

And Lennie Tristano I like a lot, I still like him.

I don't want any man to have control over me.

It’s really strange, but they speak to me — the notes and the chords. So when I hear other people’s music, I can feel the composer. Whoever created that, I can see in their soul.
