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.

I can take anyone down at anytime; they can't take me down; no one can ride or turn me; I can control anyone.

Once you've wrestled, everything in life is easy.

Talent is everywhere, winning attitude is not.

There is no mat space for malcontents or dissenters. One must neither celebrate insanely when he wins, nor sulk when he loses. He accepts victory professionally, humbly; he hates defeat, but makes no poor display of it.

My valleys are higher than most people's peaks. I stay at that level.

More endearingly than any other sport, wrestling teaches self control and pride.
