i guese we can just reply with picking out some quotes that have effected us ; give us real inspiration

I hated every minute of training, but I said, ''Don't quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion.''


I know where I'm going and I know the truth, and I don't have to be what you want me to be. I'm free to be what I want.

It's not bragging if you can back it up.


Life is a gamble. You can get hurt, but people die in plane crashes, lose their arms and legs in car accidents; people die every day. Same with fighters: some die, some get hurt, some go on. You just don't let yourself believe it will happen to you.

My way of joking is to tell the truth. That's the funniest joke in the world.


Rivers, ponds, lakes and streams - they all have different names, but they all contain water. Just as religions do - they all contain truths.


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.

We have one life; it soon will be past; what we do for God is all that will last. ( i know afew threads that quote will help in ) /looks at the ramadam thread

:crackup:
LMAO. Didn't even read anything else yet. You already won. LOL. I have that quote as the first track on one of my CD mixes. Cracks me up every time.

EDIT:
I've now finished reading through the whole thread, and I gotta say that MindOverMatter's Tyson quotes had me literally crying from laughter.

Other good quote was the Gretsky "miss 100% of shots you don't take" and the Jordan one. I give credit to the Jordan quote for helping me do my first cold approaches.

Those Ali quotes are also really good.

From a Moonlighting re-run last night. David Addison is telling Burt to go for some with a slut instead of pursuing Agnes.

David - Go for the slap-and-tickle Burt. It may be shallow but you get to keep your insides from being ripped into tiny pieces.

Burt - Excuse me sir, that sounds a little... bitter

David - Not at all. You strip away the hearts and flowers and teddy bears and the battle of the sexes has always boiled down to a vicious guerrila war. One minute Charlie's your friend, the next he's poking bamboo shoots down your fingernails. Always remember that Burt.'

Woman: Sir, if I were your wife, I would poison your coffee.
Man: Madame, if I were your husband, I'd gladly drink it.

a belief is something that blocks you from the real truth. Have no belief at all and you will understand.*
