Quem luta contra nós reforça os nossos nervos e aguça as nossas habilidades. O nosso antagonista é quem mais nos ajuda. 

As pessoas não carecem de força, carecem de determinação. 

Bom mesmo é ir à luta com determinação, abraçar a vida com paixão, perder com classe e vencer com ousadia, porque o mundo pertence a quem se atreve e a vida é muito para ser insignificante.

Só é lutador quem sabe lutar consigo mesmo. 

A força não provém da capacidade física. Provém de uma vontade indomável. 

A força de vontade deve ser mais forte do que a habilidade. 

O que falta às pessoas não é força, e sim, vontade. 

Nada existe tão alto que o homem, com força de vontade, não possa apoiar a sua escada. 

Assim como o lutador, o guerreiro da luz conhece sua imensa força; e jamais luta com quem não merece a honra do combate. 

A alegria está na luta, na tentativa, no sofrimento envolvido e não na vitória propriamente dita. 

Quem luta com monstros deve velar por que, ao fazê-lo, não se transforme também em monstro. E se tu olhares, durante muito tempo, para um abismo, o abismo também olha para dentro de ti. 

Todo o homem luta com mais bravura pelos seus interesses do que pelos seus direitos. 

Dura é a luta contra o desejo, que compra o que quer à custa da alma. 

Não há quem sustente uma luta mais árdua do que aquele que se tenta vencer a si próprio. 

O homem é feito para a luta, não para o repouso. 

A vida é cheia de obrigações que a gente cumpre por mais vontade que tenha de as infringir deslavadamente. 

My music is about being strong, even in your vulnerability.

If a D.C. event doesn't have crab cakes, it's low-rent and you need to flee.

Beauty is as relative as light and dark. Thus there exists no beautiful woman none at all because you are never certain that a still far more beautiful woman will not appear and completely shame the supposed beauty of the first.

I thought it was normal to recycle pants and shoes from your older cousins. That was just my way of life. At the end of the month, there was not much food in the refrigerator and you're hoping the first comes so food can come again. You never forget those things.

There are lots of brownfield sites in Stoke, but they are not suitable for building executive homes. It needs to be surrounded by fields. It needs to be on greenbelt land. That's what executives want.

Often something more simple would be better. Sometimes I put things together - a shirt, a sweater, a jacket - and it's too complicated. I would have worn only a v-neck sweater, it would have been better. It's not the clothes but it's how you wear them sometimes.

How lucky Adam was. He knew when he said a good thing, nobody had said it before.

There's a lot about records that you cannot feel from a CD.

We've always been fascinated with movie stars and singers, but the fascination with people who really have nothing to offer is something new.

We are all farmers tending a little part of the Lord's vineyard.

Listen, I didn't know how to make coffee when I came to the United States. Because in Colombia the maids do it.

It cannot be too often stressed that Israel had no credible pretext for its 2008-9 attack on Gaza, with full U.S. support and illegally using U.S. weapons.

I think you never stop learning.

Painting, I think it's like jazz.

There are a lot of parallels between doing a sequel and doing low budget movies, which is they give creative parameters. As a creative person myself, I work better with parameters as opposed to anything goes.

The moment we realize that the only things we can intelligibly value are actual and potential changes in the experience of conscious beings, we can think about a landscape of such changes - where the peaks correspond to the greatest possible well-being and the valleys correspond to the lowest depths of suffering.

When you go into the studio or get up on the stage with people who have more experience or knowledge, you learn.

In fact, some reviewers have said that as they got into the story they forgot that the protagonist is a black woman. They were moved by the story - by the people as a whole - and not by the little things.

Most of an award-show host's job is showing up and keeping a cool head and soldiering through it, whether it's the Oscars or the Hallmark Channel's 'Hero Dog Awards.'

The worst thing as an actor is when you're not getting opportunities to try and show what you can do; the best thing is when you get material that really lets you express something and that you're excited about.

God gave me a talent to draw. I 'owed' it to him to develop the talent.

I just like to go where the material is, whether that's TV, or movies, or the stage. As long as it's great writing, it's pretty much something I can't resist.

Sometimes a single phrase of testimony can set events in motion that affect someone's life for eternity.

I used to be on the kitchen floor, crying, wasted and thinking of lyrics. That was the only way I could create - as a tortured artist. I've learned that you can be stable and taking care of yourself and still create beautiful work.
