Someone must have sense enough and morality enough to cut off the chain of hate and evil, and this can only be done through love."

"That's the most beautiful thing that I like about boxing: you can take a punch. The biggest thing about taking a punch is your ego reacts and there's no better spiritual lesson than trying to not pay attention to your ego's reaction."
