• All live by seeming.
  The beggar begs with it, and the gay courtier
  Gains land and title, rank and rule, by seeming;
  The clergy scorn it not, and the bold soldier
  Will eke with it his service.--All admit it,
  All practise it; and he who is content
  With showing what he is, shall have small credit
  In church, or camp, or state.--So wags the world.

Now and in the future, Americans will live as free people, not in fear, and never at the mercy of any foreign plot or power.

• I was born in the middle of the Second World War when the United States dropped their atomic bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, when millions of people were dying in concentration camps, when half the planet were colonies that belonged to empires. The word feminism didn't exist. And in my lifetime I have seen all these things improved, changed. We are more connected, more informed. We can fight against stuff together in ways we couldn't before.

• I go to practice every day. I really don't have a training camp. In the boxing world, and that's where that came from, almost every time a guy would get out of the ring and he wouldn't break a sweat again until he went to his next training camp. He would do absolutely nothing until he started training for the next fight.

• I go to practice each and every day, but my intensity is not the same. If I get tired, I'll go sit down. If I want some water, I'll go drink it. When I'm in training camp, I don't. I've got to push through being tired. I've got to push through being uncomfortable. That's really it. It's largely a mentality. You kind of flip that switch and turn your intensity up. Your heart rate goes up. Your reps go up. And you start to get in the frame of mind.
