Above all, you must fight conceit, envy, and every kind of ill-feeling in your heart.
Abraham Cahan-
The barbell has no meaning, except those that you impress upon it. The barbell doesn’t make you sore, bloody or callused. It doesn’t ask you to pick it up when you are exhausted. It does not want to be slammed down victoriously when you break through a performance barrier. The barbell asks nothing of you. You ask it of yourself to perform.
This metal is simply an instrument of your maturation. The rules do not change, you only learn how to better operate within them. The barbell remains constant, It is you that transforms.
Jonathan D. Haynes-
In any cause that concerns the progress of mankind, put your faith in the noncomformist!
Martin Luther King Jr.-
If you tell me you can bench press 450, hell, we’ll load up the bar and put you under it. Either you can do it or you can’t do it – you can’t bullshit. Ultimately, sports are just about as close to what one would call the truth as it is possible to get in this world…. The barbell isn’t impressed or daunted that you went to Yale or prison.
Harry Crews-
Good health is the most important thing. More than success, more than money, more than power.
Hyman Roth-
Stick to the basics and when you fell you’ve mastered them it’s time to start all over again, begin anew – again with the basics.
