People 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.

Virat KohliConfidence comes from discipline and training.
Robert KiyosakiI 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 BradyWherever 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 MattisPanic plays no part in the training of a nurse.
Elizabeth KennyWhen I am free to train and free to move, I feel like a gorilla in the jungle. Then, when there are a bunch of media obligations, I feel like I have been captured and am being kept on display.
Conor McGregorBread 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 MuirIf 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.

Muhammad AliAs 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 BestWhat 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 WillinkIt’s all to do with the training: you can do a lot if you’re properly trained.
Queen Elizabeth IIIn military school, on day one you must memorize the mission of the Merchant Marine Academy.
Robert KiyosakiOf 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.

Muhammad AliI wasn’t born a natural entrepreneur. I had to be trained.
Robert KiyosakiEvery citizen has the real right to receive general education and professional training at no cost, something that the United States has not been able to ensure for all its inhabitants.

Tom BradyRunning 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 MandelaMy goal is to be number one in MMA.
Conor McGregorThe 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 GatesI think sometimes the best training is to rest.
Cristiano RonaldoA 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 McGregorIf you have religious faith, very good, you can add on secular ethics, then religious belief, add on it, very good. But even those people who have no interest about religion, okay, it’s not religion, but you can train through education.
Dalai LamaSuccess in training the boy depends largely on the Scoutmaster’s own personal example.
Robert Baden-PowellFor a privileged minority, Western democracy provides the leisure, the facilities, and the training to seek the truth lying hidden behind the veil of distortion and misrepresentation, ideology and class interest, through which the events of current history are presented to us.
Noam ChomskyTalking 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 ChhetriBasically it starts with four months of training, just basic stretching, kicking and punching. Then you come to the choreography and getting ready to put the dance together.

Fidel CastroEveryone needs a coach. It doesn’t matter whether you’re a basketball player, a tennis player, a gymnast or a bridge player.
Bill GatesEveryone wants to know and hopes I retire so they can get the jobs. But my contracts with Fendi and Chanel are lifelong.
Karl LagerfeldWhen I was running training, we would fire a couple of leaders from every SEAL team because they couldn’t lead. And 99.9% of the time, it wasn’t a question of their ability – it was a question of their ability to listen.
Jocko WillinkI 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 BradyAs an artist, as a brand, as a rapper, as a musician, you know you got a window and a lot of people, even an athlete; they don’t have no exit strategy. It’s just living in the false reality that it’s going to be like this forever.
Nipsey HussleWe all have limitations. I don’t have the right genes to be an Olympic weightlifter. I don’t have the right genetics to be an Olympic sprinter. Or gymnast. Sure, if I trained my whole life, perhaps I could have become fairly decent in those sports.
Jocko WillinkTraining gives us an outlet for suppressed energies created by stress and thus tones the spirit just as exercise conditions the body.

Jocko WillinkLearning to live for others isn’t something that just comes naturally to anybody. You have to train yourself to do it.

Dwayne JohnsonI train and I go home, and when I’m home, I think about training. That’s my life every day, and that’s it.
Conor McGregorFor 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 JohnsonAt the end of 2003, my game was complete. Shooting, defense, using the dribble, transition, midrange stuff was all there. Then it was about fine-tuning and trying to improve in each area.
Kobe BryantColombia has been the leading western recipient of U.S. arms and training as violence has grown through the ’90s.

Stephen CurryTraining and resting takes up most of my time.
Sunil ChhetriIgnorance 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.
PlatoTo 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.

Herbert HooverI have been brought up and trained to have the utmost contempt for people who get drunk.
Winston ChurchillWhen 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.
Sunil ChhetriBodybuilding is much like any other sport. To be successful, you must dedicate yourself 100% to your training, diet and mental approach.
Arnold SchwarzeneggerThe mixed martial arts way of life will give you focus.
Conor McGregorI will fight in many weight divisions.
Conor McGregorI think that’s why my career is going to be so long: Because I haven’t given people everything.
