Every opponent is a new opponent. Trust me, they don't give a crap how many matches I have won.
The difficult opponent is the best.
I bow to my opponent in praise and thanks. After the fight is a time for humility, acceptance and analysis, no matter the result.
Your teaching must have the integrity of serious, sound words to which no one can take exception. If it does, no opponent will be able to find anything bad to say about us, and hostility will yield to shame.
Never ascribe to an opponent motives meaner than your own.
If you are strong and fighting the weak, then if you kill your opponent then you are a scoundrel. . . if you let him kill you, then you are an idiot.
If you have a problem and you can't find a solution, you meet again tomorrow and you keep talking until you find a solution. You can disagree with behavior or a particular position, but you do not resort to calling an opponent worthless.
Training is what you are doing while your opponent is sleeping in.
The double pleasure of pulling down an opponent, and of raising oneself, is the charm of a politician's life.
My opponent misses something important. When we say America is exceptional, it doesn`t mean that people from other places don`t feel deep national pride, just like we do. It means that we recognize America`s unique and unparalleled ability to be a force for peace and progress.
Negative energy that comes at you in some form is energy that can be turned around - to defeat an opponent and lift you up.
If your opponent praises you: beware! But if he gets stuck into you, you are usually on the right way.
One of the things I get amused by is when my opponent talks about the middle class.
In boxing you create a strategy to beat each new opponent, it's just like chess.
When arguing with a fool, make sure the opponent isn't doing the exact same thing.
Tainting the Tea Party movement with the charge of racism is proving to be an effective strategy for Democrats. There's no evidence that Tea Party adherence are any more racist than other Republicans and indeed many other Americans. But getting them to spend their time purging their ranks and having candidates distance themselves should help Democrats in November, having one's opponent rebut charges of racism is far better than discussing joblessness.
I can't overlook any opponent because all fighters are dangerous. Every fighter is dangerous.
Pain creates movement, and movement controls balance. If the opponent does not feel any pain you may be forced to break bones.
My favourite victory is when it is not even clear where my opponent made a mistake.
My most difficult opponent is myself. When I am playing I often involuntarily make a world champion out of a candidate master.
