“I always pray before fighting. I pray in the corner, in the hotel room – maybe two hours before I go to the arena. It takes me far – I see a big difference when you pray and go into a fight; you have more strength and also you know God’s helping you.”

Amir Khan (boxer) (1986) British boxer

“I know that you've enjoyed all the good things money's given to you
and that to have to live without them is not an easy thing to do.
You take great pride in your appearance, all of which is second-to-none,
and I can understand how you're feeling when you see yourself growing old,
the man you love is never there to hold.
But bear with me just a little bit longer.
Honey, won't you bear with me, and I guarantee you that our love will grow stronger.
Bear with me just a little bit longer. Honey, won't you bear with me?”

Gilbert O'Sullivan (1946) Irish singer-songwriter

“In strategy your spiritual bearing must not be any different from normal. Both in fighting and in everyday life you should be determined though calm.”

Miyamoto Musashi (1584–1645) Japanese martial artist, writer, artist

Go Rin No Sho (1645), The Water Book
Context: In strategy your spiritual bearing must not be any different from normal. Both in fighting and in everyday life you should be determined though calm. Meet the situation without tenseness yet not recklessly, your spirit settled yet unbiased. Even when your spirit is calm do not let your body relax, and when your body is relaxed do not let your spirit slacken.
