"Pain is weakness leaving the body."

I forget who said it.

[Barn]

If one has not given everything one has given nothing.

I'm going to reach for the stars and if I miss I'll grab a handful of clouds.

Problems cannot be solved by the same level of thinking that created them.

You've never laced em' up, **** you.

To be a champion you have to believe in yourself when no-one else does.

A champion is someone who gets up when he can't

Be yourself, everyone else is taken.

It's not the size of the dog in the fight but, the size of the fight in the dog.

Defeat is a temporary condition, giving up is what makes it permanent.

It's better to die on your feet, than to live on your knees.

A coward faces death many times, a brave man meets it but once.

Veni Vidi Vici/I came, I saw, I conquered.

Ones I can remember right now, will stick more in if I remember them.

I am not Christ or a philanthropist, old lady, I am all the contrary of a Christ.... I fight for the things I believe in, with all the weapons at my disposal and try to leave the other man dead so that I don't get nailed to a cross or any other place.

I am not a liberator. Liberators do not exist. The people liberate themselves.

One has to grow hard but without ever losing tenderness.

The life of a single human being is worth a million times more than all the property of the richest man on earth.

"This is how you would treat your Lord Almighty? You would challenge the heavens so brazenly?! So be it then! Let there be war!"

“I really think you should make a radical change in your lifestyle and begin to boldly do things which you may previously never have thought of doing or been too hesitant to attempt. So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservatism, all of which may appear... to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. The very basic core of a man’s living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly challenging horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun. If you want to get more out of life, you must lose your inclination for monotonous security and adopt a helter-skelter style of life that will at first appear to you to be crazy. But once you become accustomed to such a life you will see its full meaning and its incredible beauty…

I fear you will follow the same inclination in the future and thus fail to discover all the wonderful things that God has placed around us to discover. Don’t settle down and sit in one place. Move around, be nomadic, make each day a new horizon. You are still going to live a long time, and it would be a shame if you did not take the opportunity to revolutionize your life and move into an entirely new realm of experience.
You are wrong if you think joy emanates only or principally from human relationships. God has placed it all around us. It is in everything and anything we might experience. We just have to have the courage to turn against our habitual lifestyle and engage in unconventional living.

My point is that you do not need me or anyone else to bring this new kind of light in your life. It is simply waiting out there for you to grasp it, and all you have to do is reach for it…

You will see things and meet people and there is much to learn from them… Don’t hesitate or allow yourself to make excuses. Just get out and do it. Just get out and do it. You will be very, very glad that you did.”

"To be a warrior is not a simple matter of wishing to be one. It is rather an endless struggle that will go on to the very last moment of our lives. Nobody is born a warrior, in exactly the same way that nobody is born an average man. We make ourselves into one or the other".- Carlos Castaneda
