Words of Wisdom

"Out of evey one hundred men, ten shouldn't even be there, eighty are just targets, nine are real fighters, and we are lucky to have them, for they make the battle. Ah, but the one, one is a warrior, and whe will bring the others back".

- Heraclitus

“… I know there are a lot of people out there doing steroids, cheating and every time I run into one of them, I’m going to call them on it and then I’m going to beat the
%$#@! out of them.… It’s going to be a historic night because all the kids out there will realize that you can do it with just hard work alone … he wants to say he has heart and all this different $#@!, but you can’t confuse steroids with heart…. It’s two different things, a guy with heart is a guy doing it with blood, sweat and tears, waking up with the sore back, the sore body.… What would happen in the old days when you get caught with a couple of aces up your sleeve, they kill the guy right there and that’s why I say Sean Sherk is dead….”

A fired up UFC Lightweight Champion, BJ Penn, talks about his upcoming title defense against Sean Sherk at UFC 84: “Ill Will” at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, on May 24. “The Muscle Shark” tested positive for steroids after his win against Hermes Franca at UFC 73: “Stacked” in July 2007 and has not competed since because of a six-month suspension. Penn doesn’t like steroids or steroid users very much … this one is personal.

"By doing something repeatedly, through, and understanding it, you can diffuse and defuse the fear. This is true for sailing, riding motorcycles, asking girls out-even getting hit in the face by a man who wants to kill you."

"You have a specific responsibility to existence, to God if you like, to taste, touch, and smell what there is to experience.You have to do everything. If given an option between doing something and not doing it, you have to do it; because you've already done the 'not do it' part."

- Sam Sheridan -

 

"The harder you work, the hard it is to surrender."
Vince Lombardi

 

A fight is not won by one punch or kick. Either learn to endure or hire a bodyguard.” Bruce Lee

 

Champions are made from something.
They have deep inside them, a desire, a dream, a vision,
They have to have last minute stamina; have to be a little bit faster,
They have to have the skill and the will.
But the will must be stronger then the skill.
-Mohammed Ali

 

Courage does not always roar.
Sometimes courage is the quiet voice
At the end of the day saying
“I will try again tomorrow”.
-Mary Anne Radmacher

 

Whether you
Think you can,
Or think you can’t
You’re right.
-Henry Ford

"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by the dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy course; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat."
- Theodore Roosevelt

"Boxer guys are very tuff, and they play a very tuff game, but its a game, karate guys, tae kwon doe guys, kickboxers or judo guys, they are very tuff guys, and a lot of heart and a lot of training, but its very specifically as a sport, its not a fight, a fight is everything goes."
- Rickson Gracie

"Take arrows in your forehead, but never in your back"

Two Wolves
An old Cherokee chief is teaching his grandson about life:


"A fight is going on inside me," he said to the boy. "It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves.


"One is evil - he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, self-doubt, and ego.

"The other is good - he is joy, peace, love, hope,
serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith.

"This same fight is going on inside you - and inside every other person, too."

The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, "Which wolf will win?"

The old chief simply replied, "The one you feed."

The fight is won or lost far away from witnesses — behind the lines, in the gym and out there on the road, long before I dance under those lights.
