Popular quotes about Fight! Wisdom and inspiration are here!
We cannot fight against collectivism, unless we fight against its moral base: altruism. We cannot fight against altruism, unless we fight against its epistemological base: irrationalism. We cannot fight against anything, unless we fight for something--and what we must fight for is the supremacy of reason and a view of man as a rational being.
Ayn RandYou donโt fight fire with fire. You fight fire with water. Weโre gonna fight racism with solidarity. We're not gonna fight capitalism with Black capitalism. Weโre gonna fight capitalism with socialism. Socialism is the people. If youโre afraid of socialism, youโre afraid of yourself.
Fred HamptonAll my life I had to fight. I had to fight my daddy. I had to fight my uncles. I had to fight my brothers. Girl, child ain't safe in a family of men, but I ain't never thought I had to fight in my own house. I loves Harpo. God knows I do. But I'll kill him dead before I let him beat me.
Alice WalkerI do not care who I fight. Line them up. I will let the fans pick. That is the way to do it because I am a fans' fighter. I want to fight the people they want me to fight. I will fight Tyson, Lewis, Tua, Rahman, whoever. I am a real fighter. You do not see too many real fighters out there today. You have these patsy papier - mรขchรฉ champions.
James ToneyI would say you have to fight in the life of the mind as well as fight in the streets, as well as fight in the courts, as well as fight in congress and the White House. Every site is a sight of contestation.
Cornel WestOnce you're inside the ring, a fight is a fight. Fans can't fight for you, the hometown crowd can't fight for you.
Celestino CaballeroSo get this. On 9/11, Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump's hometown was attacked by the worst terrorist attack in the history of the United States. Young men and women - young men and women signed up to serve in the military to fight terrorism. Hillary Clinton went to Washington to get funds to rebuild her city and protect first responders, but Donald Trump was fighting a very different fight. It was a fight to avoid paying taxes so that he wouldn't support the fight against terror.

Hal MooreI have no choice of living or dying, you see, sir--but I do have a choice of how I do it. If I tell them not to fight, they will be sorry, but they will fight. If I tell them to fight, they will be glad, and I who am not a very brave man will have made them a little braver.
John SteinbeckTrump is much, much worse than people understand. In his ideal world, you would have an alliance between Trump, Putin, Marine Le Pen, maybe a right winger might knock off Merkel in Germany, and you'd have this sort of, essentially, a nationalist populist alliance that can only be made sense of when seen as a right-wing, white nationalism against the world. Because, who do they want to fight? They want to fight Asia and China, they want to fight Latin America and Mexico.
Van JonesThere are five possible operations for any army. If you can fight, fight; if you cannot fight, defend; if you cannot defend, flee; if you cannot flee, surrender; if you cannot surrender, die.

David Arenas TorresThe United States wanted to send its trained rebel groups to Syria to fight ISIS. Out of twenty-five hundred rebels they had trained, only seventy accepted to go to Syria to fight ISIS. Everybody else wanted to go to Syria to fight the government. So you've got to wake up and smell the coffee. . . . The rebel groups have not fired a shot against ISIS.
Mohammad Javad ZarifThis is the only time in history when I get to fight for God. This is the only part of my eternal story when I am actually in the battle. Once I die, Iโll be in celebration mode in a glorified body in a whole different set of circumstances. But this is my limited window of opportunity, and Iโm going to fight the good fight for all Iโm worth.
Joni Eareckson TadaFight scenes are really more like dances than they are fights, because you're depending on your partner to do the right move at the right time. Yes, a tough person or somebody who knows what they're doing will look better in a fight scene, but it also has a lot to do with the other person.

Leo Santa CruzI've got no interest in going over to California to fight that boring git, in a fight that no one's interested in, and that's the reason why he's trying to pimp himself out everywhere.
Carl FrochI think that all countries of the region should join their efforts in the fight against a common threat - terrorism in general and ISIS in particular. It concerns Iran as well, it concerns Saudi Arabia (although the two countries do not get along very well, ISIS threatens both of them), it concerns Jordan, it concerns Turkey (in spite of certain problems regarding the Kurdish issue), and, in my opinion, everybody is interested in resolving the situation. Our task is to join these efforts to fight against a common enemy.
Vladimir PutinThere is more to American politics than fat cats and their political friends. There are serious-minded liberals who fight the good fight on many issues, ecologically oriented politicians who remain true to their cause, and honest people of every political stripe who are not beholden to any wealthy people. But there are not enough of them, and they are often worn down by the constant pressure from lobbyists, lawyers and conventional politicians.

Vitali KlitschkoTo fight against the infidels is Jihad; but to fight against your evil self is greater Jihad.
Abu BakrFor fear, real fear such as shakes you to your foundation, such as you feel when you are brought face to face with your mortal end, nestles in your memory like a gangrene: it seeks to rot everything, even the words with which to speak of it. So you must fight hard to express it. You must fight hard to shine the light of words upon it. Because if you don't, if your fear becomes a wordless darkness that you avoid, perhaps even manage to forget, you open yourself to further attacks of fear because you never truly fought the opponent who defeated you.
Yann MartelWhat I think a lot of that was K-1 having had their Grand Prix finals not even a month before the "Dynamite!!" show so a lot of those guys were coming into that fight pressured to fight.
Shawn TompkinsThey used to say Palestinians fight like heroes, now they say heroes fight like Palestinians
Norman FinkelsteinIt's better to fight because if you don't fight, you can't win. Besides, even when you don't win, you can change the game.
Elizabeth WarrenCertainly, the fight against terrorism is a legitimate fight. And certainly whoever commits terrorism should be brought to justice.
Shirin EbadiThere is not a revolution that succeeded in a few months. It takes years, even decades, to fulfill its goals. I am very hopeful because I trust the revolution and feel nobody can really conquer a nation that has decided to be united and to fight, and we decided to fight. The revolution is there, inside the Egyptians by the millions.
Nawal El SaadawiOne of the best ways to fight poverty and to fight terrorism is to educate girls and bring women into the formal labor force.
Sheryl WuDunnThe fight against corruption is not bound to high-profile arrests and high-profile investigations. The fight against corruption is successful if you prevent corruption taking place in the first place.
Ahmed ChalabiI have a dog that loves to fight. It's a border collie, and they fight low to the ground. Other dogs are terrified of my dog, because he gets low and goes for the balls.
Jeremy HotzAre the great spiritual teachings really advocating that we fight evil because we are on the side of light, the side of peace? Are they telling us to fight against that other 'undesirable' side, the bad and the black. That is a big question. If there is wisdom in the sacred teachings, there should not be any war. As long as a person is involved with warfare, trying to defend or attack, then his action is not sacred; it is mundane, dualistic, a battlefield situation.
Chogyam TrungpaI'm not trying to sell pipe dreams to people. I'm not giving them some fake utopia. I'm not telling them it's easy. If it was easy, everyone would do it. But you don't fight the fights you can win, you fight the fights that need fighting. That's the most important part.
Immortal TechniqueThe fight we are in here, make no mistake about it, is a fight of individualism versus collectivism.
Ayn RandBut you canโt put fight into a manโs guts if he hasnโt any fight in him. There are some of us so cowardly that you canโt ever make heroes of us, not even if you frighten us to death. We know too much, maybe. There are some of us who donโt live in the moment, who live a little ahead, or a little behind.
Henry Miller
