If history repeats itself, and the unexpected always happens, how incapable must Man be of learning from experience.

The task of the modern educator is not to cut down jungles, but to irrigate deserts.

We have to continue to learn. We have to be open. And we have to be ready to release our knowledge in order to come to a higher understanding of reality.

I don’t think the ebbs and flows – get in great shape and then get out of shape and then see if you can get back into shape – is a good thing. So I prefer to keep my arm always ready to go.

Friendship… is not something you learn in school. But if you haven’t learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven’t learned anything.

Part of my daily regime is my glucosamine and, of course, a multitude of multivitamins. Branched-chain amino acids, glutamine, of course protein. I have one protein shake a day, and that is immediately after my training.

No man who worships education has got the best out of education… Without a gentle contempt for education no man’s education is complete.
