Take care of your body. It's the only place you have to live.
For me life is continuously being hungry. The meaning of life is not simply to exist, to survive, but to move ahead, to go up, to achieve, to conquer.
Everybody wants to be a bodybuilder, but don't nobody wanna lift no heavy ass weight.
Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.
Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength.
