Don’t you quit. You keep walking, you keep trying, there is help and happiness ahead. Some blessings come soon. Some come late. Some don’t come until heaven. But for those who embrace the gospel of Jesus Christ, they come. It will be alright in the end. Trust God and believe in Good Things to Come.
Unless you puke, faint or die, keep going.
The greatest sin is to think yourself weak.
I’ve wrestled with alligators, I’ve tussled with a whale. I done handcuffed lightning and thrown thunder in jail. You know I’m bad. Just last week, I murdered a rock, injured a stone, hospitalized a brick. I’m so mean, I make medicine sick.
I am the greatest.
Whatever you think that you will be. If you think yourself weak, weak you will be; if you think yourself strong, you will be.
Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength.
Still I’ll rise.
The world is the great gymnasium where we come to make ourselves strong.
Rock bottom became the solid foundation on which I rebuilt my life.
Pain is weakness leaving the body.
From the bodybuilding days on, I learned that everything is reps and mileage. The more miles you ski, the better a skier you become; the more reps you do, the better your body. I'm a big believer in hard work, grinding it out, and not stopping until it's done, so the challenge appealed to me.
Surprise yourself every day with your own courage.
You cannot dream yourself into a character; you must hammer and forge yourself one.
The pain you feel today is the strength you’ll feel tomorrow.
Fall down seven times, get up eight.
I didn't want to just be a body building champion. I wanted to be the best body builder of all time.
Going that one more round when you don’t think you can – that’s what makes all the difference in your life.
Throw me to the wolves and I will return leading the pack.
I don’t count my sit-ups. I only start counting when it starts hurting. When I feel pain, that’s when I start counting, because that’s when it really counts.
