The Cold War isn’t thawing; it is burning with a deadly heat. Communism isn’t sleeping; it is, as always, plotting, scheming, working, fighting.

I’m just looking to learn, grow, stay focused, and become a better fighter and a better athlete.

I don’t fight in chase of an individual. I hear this sometimes where fighters work their whole careers to reach a matchup with a certain individual. I do not think in that way.

No matter how much cats fight, there always seem to be plenty of kittens.

There is nothing I love as much as a good fight.

I’m happy about working; I’m happy about gracing the stage and coming out and making people laugh. I never treat it like a job or feel that way. It’s the best thing ever to me, and I feel like a kid in a candy store.

Communism to me is one-third practice and two-thirds explanation.

I don’t feel bitterness, I don’t feel anger towards anybody. Fighting is never emotional to me.

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.

I don’t see why we need to stand by and watch a country go communist due to the irresponsibility of its people. The issues are much too important for the Chilean voters to be left to decide for themselves.

When you are an actor, you have to stay inside this world, but when you are with the crew, on the outside, you are in the dirt, working through all the issues. It’s just a different way of working, and I think I preferred it.

I have just returned from visiting the Marines at the front, and there is not a finer fighting organization in the world!

I’m more of a realist when it comes to life, and I’d much rather my mother be in a spiritual place in Heaven than in a bed, sick, fighting for her life.

I’m committed to the fight game.

Castro couldn’t even go to the bathroom unless the Soviet Union put the nickel in the toilet.

I spent my life studying communism and Soviet systems.

I am not a communist and neither is the revolutionary movement.

When I was in the White House, I was confronted with the challenge of the Cold War. Both the Soviet Union and I had 30,000 nuclear weapons that could destroy the entire earth and I had to maintain the peace.

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.

The Russians feared Ike. They didn’t fear me.

Today on the NATO line, our military forces face east to prevent a possible invasion. On the other side of the line, the Soviet forces also face east to prevent their people from leaving.

When I’m ready to fight, my opponent has a better chance of surviving a forest fire wearing gasoline drawers.

The U.S.S.R. had absolutely nothing to do with the triumph of the Cuban Revolution.

Communism doesn’t work because people like to own stuff.

How do you tell a communist? Well, it’s someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an anti-Communist? It’s someone who understands Marx and Lenin.

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.

Communism is a religion that is inspired, directed and motivated by the Devil himself who has declared war against Almighty God.

You can’t keep your mind on fighting when you’re thinking about a woman. You can’t keep your concentration. You feel like sleeping all the time.

It could be if I fight in front of one person or one million people. It’s still the same emotions.

At the outset, I want to say that the suggestion that the struggle in South Africa is under the influence of foreigners or communists is wholly incorrect. I have done whatever I did because of my experience in South Africa and my own proudly felt African background, and not because of what any outsider might have said.

A specter is haunting Europe – the specter of communism.

From Stettin in the Baltic to Trieste in the Adriatic, an iron curtain has descended across the Continent.

Communism has never come to power in a country that was not disrupted by war or corruption, or both.

To survive it is often necessary to fight and to fight you have to dirty yourself.

The U.N. bureaucracy has grown to elephantine proportions. Now that the Cold War is over, we are asking that elephant to do gymnastics.

There is a specter haunting Europe, the specter of Communism.

I became a Communist by studying capitalist political economy, and when I had some understanding of that problem, it actually seemed to me so absurd, so irrational, so inhuman, that I simply began to elaborate on my own formulas for production and distribution.

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

I never accepted Communist dogma or theory.

It’s just a job. Grass grows, birds fly, waves pound the sand. I beat people up.

From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs.

Ronald Reagan said that he sought a Star Wars defense only in order to share the technology with the tyrants of the U.S.S.R.

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

If I decide to make a coat red in the show, it’s not just red, I think: is it communist red? Is it cherry cordial? Is it ruby red? Or is it apple red? Or the big red balloon red?

Take it from someone who fled the Iron Curtain: I know what happens when you give the Russians a green light.

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.

The events of October 1962 are widely hailed as Kennedy’s finest hour.

Sonny Liston is nothing. The man can’t talk. The man can’t fight. The man needs talking lessons. The man needs boxing lessons. And since he’s gonna fight me, he needs falling lessons.

The theory of Communism may be summed up in one sentence: Abolish all private property.

Cage Warriors is a brilliant organisation. They’re doing great things for European MMA, and they’re giving the platform for guys like me who came through. They’re vital. I’m forever grateful for the opportunities I got.

Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.

All the screen cowboys behaved like real gentlemen. They didn’t drink, they didn’t smoke. When they knocked the bad guy down, they always stood with their fists up, waiting for the heavy to get back on his feet. I decided I was going to drag the bad guy to his feet and keep hitting him.

Socialism is the same as Communism, only better English.

I am a Christian. That obliges me to be a Communist.

I have always fought for concrete facts, for justice.

Many Communist government officials have a rigid, dictatorial power, but they live in constant suspicion and fear of anything that might undermine the power they have.

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

When I was 18, I went to the Soviet Union. I kept hearing that America was planning to bomb them – lots of bombs were going to come down on these people. I went there not knowing anything, except that I thought the whole thing was stupid and that I wanted to see who these people were that we were going to bomb.

There is not Communism or Marxism, but representative democracy and social justice in a well-planned economy.

I’ll beat him so bad he’ll need a shoehorn to put his hat on.

I’m glad I’m not Brezhnev. Being the Russian leader in the Kremlin. You never know if someone’s tape recording what you say.
