Impossible is nothing.”   "I hated every minute of training, but I said, ‘Don’t quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion."   "It's just a job. Grass grows, birds fly, waves pound the sand. I beat people up."   “At home I am a nice guy: but I don’t want the world to know. Humble people, I’ve found, don’t get very far.”   “Live everyday as if it were your last because someday you're going to be right.”   "A man who has no imagination has no wings."   “He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life.”
