“While loving glory so much how can you persist in a plan which will cause you to lose it?”

Voltaire (1694–1778) French writer, historian, and philosopher

En aimant tant la gloire, comment pouvez-vous vous obstiner à un projet qui vous la fera perdre? <br class="br">Letters of Voltaire and Frederick the Great (New York: Brentano&#x27;s, 1927), transl.

“I started looking into nutrition and alternative medicine because I obviously didn’t want to take any drugs or anything like that. I actually found out that what I was eating could actually affect the way I felt. … You can train as hard as you want but if you’re not training the right thing, it won’t help you out. Half of that is doing your homework at home. If you work your bones off in the gym and then you go home and don’t get a good amount of sleep and don’t eat good, you won’t get good results. … One of the reasons why I love the martial arts so much is because of the discipline. It makes me do things I should be doing anyway, like eating right and not partying.”
