I've been a fanatic about working out all my life.

More enduringly than any other sport, wrestling teaches self-control and pride. Some have wrestled without great skill - none have wrestled without pride.

There is no mat space for malcontents or dissenters.

Always remember the pain of defeat, and never let it happen again.

Right out of high school I never had the fear of getting beat, which is how most people lose.

All I worried about was what Owings was doing to me, instead of what I was doing to him. When you start worrying about that stuff, you're going down the wrong path.

But after that, turn it into action. Don't just dream.
