Killing is an excellent way of dealing with a hostility problem.
My life was very Japanese.
Before the decathlon I'm constantly trying to convince myself that I want to do this, that I want to take myself to that place where it's going to hurt and things are going to be tough. But that's like anything - you want to give your best.
I was blessed with certain gifts and talents and God gave them to me to be the best person I can be and to have a positive impact on other people.

It's not necessarily size that matters, it's how fast you move that implement.
I love Broadway. And, I listen to country music, which I think a lot of people find surprising.
I always like a dog so long as he isn't spelled backward.
You may command Nature to the extent only in which you are willing to obey her. You cannot intelligently obey that which you do not comprehend. Therefore I also say, ask of Nature that you may be one with her and she will whisper her secrets to you to the extent in which you are prepared to listen. Seek to be alone much to commune with Nature and be thus inspired by her mighty whisperings within your consciousness. Nature is a most jealous god, for she will not whisper her inspiring revelations to you unless you are absolutely alone with her.
Such lovely warmth of thought and delicacy of colour are beyond all praise, and equally beyond all thanks!
One whose spirit and mental strength have been strengthened by sparring with a never-say-die attitude should find no challenge too great to handle. One who has undergone long years of physical pain and mental agony to learn one punch, one kick, should be able to face any task, no matter how difficult, and carry it through to the end. A person like this can truly be said to have learned karate.
