Take things as they are. Punch when you have to punch. Kick when you have to kick.

Never trouble trouble till trouble troubles you. I'll not willingly offend, nor be easily offended.

Always be yourself, express yourself, have faith in yourself, do not go out and look for a successful personality and duplicate it.

Even today, I dare not say that I have reached a state of achievement. I'm still learning, for learning is boundless.

You must have complete determination. The worst opponent you can come across is one whose aim has become an obsession. For instance, if a man has decided that he is going to bite off your nose no matter what happens to him in the process, the chances are he will succeed in doing it. He may be severely beaten up, too, but that will not stop him from carrying out his objective. That is the real fighter.

Love is like a friendship caught on fire.

If you want to learn to swim you have to throw yourself in the water.
