With success comes a lot of failure, and it doesn't matter how many times you fall it just depends on how you get up and keep succeeding.

I've always been seen as the underdog in everything I've ever done in my life, and it doesn't bother me in the slightest. The lessons have just made me stronger.

I want to be one of the greats. I want to be the pound for pound king and I know what it takes to get there.

How you approach birth is intimately connected with how you approach life

My soul shines brightly in the light.

I am in total silence when I write - I don't even like the sound of the dryer going - I like the quiet.

The only one I feel pressure from is myself to go and give my all for every match and, obviously, I'm a competitor.

I lie as truthfully as I can.

Lions, wolves, and vultures don't live together in herds, droves or flocks. Of all animals of prey, man is the only sociable one. Every one of us preys upon his neighbor, and yet we herd together.

There was time before organisms experienced consciousness, and there will be time after. And if the inevitability of human oblivion worries you, I encourage you to ignore it.

Each of us is the result of a thought of God. Each of us is willed. Each of us is loved. Each of us is necessary.
