Wherever the enemy wants to fight, we will follow him to the ends of the Earth. We’ll adapt, we’ll train, we’ll advise, we’ll mentor, and we’ll fight, and we’ll fight well.
Jim MattisI really love training and being in good shape, and it’s so much a part of my life now, so it never really feels like work to me.
Tom BradyConfidence comes from discipline and training.
Robert KiyosakiThe 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.
Muhammad AliThat’s something that is almost accidental at the beginning of a career, but the more you write, the more trained you are to recognize the little signals.
Stephen KingWhen I was in Portugal I hardly played six-or-seven matches. Although I would train daily to keep my shape. Even then it was really difficult when I came back to get in shape and represent my country.

Jackie ChanThe mixed martial arts way of life will give you focus.
Conor McGregorTraining is everything. The peach was once a bitter almond; cauliflower is nothing but cabbage with a college education.
Mark TwainRunning taught me valuable lessons. In cross-country competition, training counted more than intrinsic ability, and I could compensate for a lack of natural aptitude with diligence and discipline. I applied this in everything I did.
Nelson MandelaTalking to a player helps, but in our sport the majority of learning happens from watching another player. You pick up things like being punctual, being nice to everyone, making sure you give your 100 per cent even in training.
Sunil ChhetriIf you give a person a fish, they’ll fish for a day. But if you train a person to fish, they’ll fish for a lifetime.

Robert Baden-PowellIf you have to stand and fight, you train yourself so that you’re able to do it.
Jocko WillinkThe Center for Disease Control started out as the malaria war control board based in Atlanta. Partly because the head of Coke had some people out to his plantation, and they got infected with malaria, and partly ‚cause all the military recruits were coming down and having a higher fatality rate from malaria while training than in the field.
Bill GatesPeople think hard sparring will get you sharp. And you do get sharp in the gym. But anytime I’ve trained that way, I’ve actually been a little bit flatter in the fight. And the knockout shot hasn’t come. It’s almost because my training has been too hard.
Conor McGregorThe most important part of education is proper training in the nursery.
PlatoI never got into training to be an All-Ireland boxing champ or to win a belt. At the start, I just got into it to learn how to defend myself when I got into situations.
Conor McGregorOf course, animals have to be killed for food or to prevent their doing injury to others or to property. But such killing is too often carried out without regard to the pain inflicted.

Noam ChomskyI wasn’t born a natural entrepreneur. I had to be trained.
Robert KiyosakiA good feeling for me is when you train, and then you put on fresh clothes. New clothes after a training session – you have this rush of endorphins from exercise that everybody gets, and then you get that nice feeling of fresh clothes. It’s a double whammy.
Conor McGregorIt’s all to do with the training: you can do a lot if you’re properly trained.

Noam ChomskyMy goal is to be number one in MMA.
Conor McGregorI don’t want to be an action star; action star’s life is so short. I want my life to get longer. I want my career to get longer.
Jackie ChanBodybuilding is much like any other sport. To be successful, you must dedicate yourself 100% to your training, diet and mental approach.
Arnold SchwarzeneggerMy dad has kind of been the standard for me, he played 16 years in the league, and since I’ve been in the league, every year that I go through and deal with the scratches, the bumps and bruises, just the grind that it is to go through one NBA season.
Stephen CurryI will fight in many weight divisions.
Conor McGregorLearning to live for others isn’t something that just comes naturally to anybody. You have to train yourself to do it.
Joyce MeyerMy public is growing up just as I am. After all, I’m not 19 anymore and if I stick with the sex bit, who will be paying to see me when I’m 50?
Marilyn MonroeTo kids, I’ve always been more than just some big tough black guy. I train to be tough – I box and do karate – but underneath all that toughness is a tender man.
Mr. TIgnorance of all things is an evil neither terrible nor excessive, nor yet the greatest of all; but great cleverness and much learning, if they be accompanied by a bad training, are a much greater misfortune.
PlatoEveryone wants to know and hopes I retire so they can get the jobs. But my contracts with Fendi and Chanel are lifelong.
Karl LagerfeldThe army teaches boys to think like men.
Elvis PresleyIn the ’60s and ’70s and early ’80s, the trainers would grind you, and eventually they would break something – they would break an ankle in ways that it would heal. It was just the way of the business, to ensure that you learned respect for wrestling.
Dwayne JohnsonTraining gives us an outlet for suppressed energies created by stress and thus tones the spirit just as exercise conditions the body.
Arnold SchwarzeneggerI hope to play until I’m, like, 38 or something, and that’s a lot of years in the game and a lot of travel and a lot of sacrifice on my family’s part.
Stephen CurryTraining and resting takes up most of my time.
Sunil ChhetriWhat makes you a SEAL, what makes you a SEAL is being a good tactician on the battle field, understanding how to shoot, move, and communicate, knowing small unit maneuver warfare. That’s what makes a good SEAL, and so that is the course of instruction that I taught, was getting SEAL platoons ready for deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan.
Jocko WillinkThe training of children is a profession, where we must know how to waste time in order to save it.
Jean-Jacques RousseauIf you learn a martial art, you learn to be dangerous, but simultaneously, you learn to control it.
Jordan PetersonFor me, training is my meditation, my yoga, hiking, biking all rolled into one. Wake up early in the morning, generally around 4 o’clock, and I’ll do my cardio on an empty stomach. Stretch, have a big breakfast, and then I’ll go train.
Dwayne JohnsonI convened the first-ever national training conference for prosecutors on how to promote and deal with hate crime issues in terms of prosecutions and also protocol for defeating the gay panic defense.
Kamala HarrisBread without flesh is a good diet, as on many botanical excursions I have proved. Tea also may easily be ignored. Just bread and water and delightful toil is all I need – not unreasonably much, yet one ought to be trained and tempered to enjoy life in these brave wilds in full independence of any particular kind of nourishment.
John MuirI have been brought up and trained to have the utmost contempt for people who get drunk.
Winston ChurchillI try to encourage all my teammates, and I sure hope that some day all athletes – my kids, high school kids – get the same level of care I get. Because you can play for a long period of time without having knee replacements, without having all the major head trauma that people are dealing with.
Tom BradyI think that’s why my career is going to be so long: Because I haven’t given people everything.
The WeekndI hated every minute of training, but I said, ‚Don’t quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion.‘
Muhammad AliEngineering training deals with the exact sciences. That sort of exactness makes for truth and conscience. It might be good for the world if more men had that sort of mental start in life even if they did not pursue the profession.
Herbert HooverWhat we face may look insurmountable. But I learned something from all those years of training and competing. I learned something from all those sets and reps when I didn’t think I could lift another ounce of weight. What I learned is that we are always stronger than we know.
Arnold SchwarzeneggerAs long as I stay in training and play well, I don’t see what objection there can be to what I do off the field.
George BestI did 20 years in the Navy. I joined the Navy right out of high school and went through Navy boot camp, went to SEAL training, got done with that, and then showed up at a SEAL team, where I did 20 years. That was pretty much my whole adult life.
Jocko WillinkNot every difficult and dangerous thing is suitable for training, but only that which is conducive to success in achieving the object of our effort.
