TOUGH TIMES DON'T LAST BUT TOUGH PEOPLE DO

Not to be grieved by blame
Not to be cheered by praise
But to to know ones own virtues and failings
Are the true mark of excellence.



Work on your weaknesses until they become strengths


And a couple of silly ones.......

Man who goes to bed with itchy arse wakes up with smelly finger

Man with hole in pocket feels cocky all day

Just go out there and enjoy yourself

Japanese traditional (I think).

Idi Amin liked this one but took it too literally.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Theodore Roosevelt.

Bit long but I always liked this quote.

One of my very favourites quotes that, BP. You have impeccable taste.

Muzzle 'im.

Whenever I performed I always told myself that at least one person watching, at least one, had never seen me before.

George Best (paraphrased from memory)

I like this one by Ali “The fight is won or lost far away from witnesses - behind the lines, in the gym and out there on the road, long before I dance under those lights."

Have you noticed how wherever you sit at a show, there is always a bloke just behind you who relentlessly screams the above? Very annoying.

Or the even more helpful "HIT HIM!"

Do not engage the enemy until you know him as well as yourself.

"Why don't you just knock him out for fucks sake?" was the best one I heard.

A variation on that was some bored, dumb trophy bint who moaned to her fella: "I don't understand why he can't just knock him out".

Yes, it really is that simple!

Failure teaches you a lesson - never, ever try anything.

Good work Gents, this could end up it's own thread..

'If something's hard to do, then it's not worth doing'.

Statistics can be made up to prove anything. Forfty percent of people know that.

I went to an amateur show at the everton park sports centre once and there was a scouse girl shouting ''FUUUUURRRKKKK IM JIMMY FUUUURRRKIN KILL HIM JIMMY'' throughout the entire 3 round bout.charming.

If you can't run with the big dogs, stay on the porch

"Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water my friend". i know hes not cool on here but ive always liked this one by bruce lee.
