Failure is not an option. Everyone has to succeed.

You can have results or excuses. Not both.

Failure is not an option. Everyone has to succeed.

For me, life is about continuously being hungry. It's meaning is not simply to just exist or to survive, but to move ahead, to go up, to achieve, to conquer. Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength. We all have great power. That power is self-faith. There's really an attitude to winning. You have to see yourself winning before you win. And you have to be hungry. You have to want to conquer.

What drove me to become the world's greatest bodybuilder is no different from what drives other athletes to become great tennis players or boxers or jockeys.

My relationship to power and authority is that I'm all for it.

All of our deeply held dreams and aspirations require us to build on our common bonds.
