I've Been A Fanatic About

All I Worried About Was What Owings Was Doing To Me, Instead Of What I Was Doing To Him. When You Start Worrying About That Stuff, You're Going Down The Wrong Path.

More Enduringly Than Any Other Sport, Wrestling Teaches Self-control And Pride. Some Have Wrestled Without Great Skill - None Have Wrestled Without Pride.

You Can't Ever Work Too Much Because There's No Such Thing As Being In Too Good Condition. You Can't Ever Lift Too Many Weights Because You Can't Ever Get Too Strong. You Can't Ever Wrestle Too Much Because You Can Always Do Better.

The Obvious Goals Were There- State Champion, Ncaa Champion, Olympic Champion. To Get There I Had To Set An Everyday Goal Which Was To Push Myself To Exhaustion Or, In Other Words, To Work So Hard In Practice That Someone Would Have To Carry Me Off The Mat.

A Clean, Hard-fought Wrestling Match Is The Most Honest Of Athletic Contests. There Is No Technological Interventions, No Teammates To Blame, No Panel Of Judges To Bias The Score. In Wrestling, You Compete Or You Quit. No Alibis. I Like That
