I’m tired of fighting. I’ve always known that I can’t be an action star all my life.

Even today we raise our hand against our brother… We have perfected our weapons, our conscience has fallen asleep, and we have sharpened our ideas to justify ourselves as if it were normal we continue to sow destruction, pain, death. Violence and war lead only to death.

An unjust law is itself a species of violence. Arrest for its breach is more so.

Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.

War is the business of barbarians.

Deliberate violence is more to be quenched than a fire.

America must not ignore the threat gathering against us. Facing clear evidence of peril, we cannot wait for the final proof, the smoking gun that could come in the form of a mushroom cloud.

In fact men will fight for a superstition quite as quickly as for a living truth – often more so, since a superstition is so intangible you cannot get at it to refute it, but truth is a point of view, and so is changeable.

Judge Afiuni has suffered enough. She has been subject to acts of violence and humiliations to undermine her human dignity. I am convinced that she must be set free.

Poverty is the worst form of violence.

If you have to stand and fight, you train yourself so that you’re able to do it.

The Vietnamese see their history as an unending series of struggles of resistance to aggression, by the Chinese, the Mongols, the Japanese, the French, and now the Americans.

The wild Indian power of escaping observation, even where there is little or no cover to hide in, was probably slowly acquired in hard hunting and fighting lessons while trying to approach game, take enemies by surprise, or get safely away when compelled to retreat.

I’ve told Billy if I ever caught him cheating, I wouldn’t kill him because I love his children and they need a dad. But I would beat him up. I know where all of his sports injuries are.

Democracy don’t rule the world, You’d better get that in your head; This world is ruled by violence, But I guess that’s better left unsaid.

The world is too violent right now.

It is better to be violent, if there is violence in our hearts, than to put on the cloak of nonviolence to cover impotence.

Wars have never hurt anybody except the people who die.

We know that dictators are quick to choose aggression, while free nations strive to resolve differences in peace.

Sir one more comment like that and I will strangle you with my microphone wire!

You either get tired fighting for peace, or you die.

What is absurd and monstrous about war is that men who have no personal quarrel should be trained to murder one another in cold blood.

Prejudice of any kind implies that you are identified with the thinking mind. It means you don’t see the other human being anymore, but only your own concept of that human being. To reduce the aliveness of another human being to a concept is already a form of violence.

I say a murder is abstract. You pull the trigger and after that you do not understand anything that happens.

Fascism is not defined by the number of its victims, but by the way it kills them.

I’m going to change the way martial arts is viewed. I’m going to change the game. I’m going to change the way people approach fighting.
