“Dinosaurs were huge and powerful; they could not adapt and they died out. And so the big difference between dinosaurs and cockroaches is adaptability: one is able to adjust, while the other, apparently, couldn't... The same analogy applies to fighting, and probably any other sport. It's not always the strong that survive. It takes brains, guts, tolerance and forward thinking. We've seen this since the beginning of mixed martial arts.” ThinkingArtBigsAbleFightingStrongSportsDifferencesPowerfulBrainHugeDiedToleranceGutsMartial ArtsMmaDinosaursAnalogiesAdaptabilityCockroachesForward ThinkingMixed Martial Arts Author:Georges St-Pierre
“When you’re working with Army and Marine Corps units, you immediately notice a difference. The Army is pretty tough, but their performance can depend on the individual unit.

They will all fight to the death. Every one of them just wants to get out there and kill. They are bad-ass, hard-charging mothers.” WantFirstsMatterHardMotherFightingIndividualDifferencesClassDependsToughPerformancesArmyNo Matter WhatFilledHorribleAssWarriorExcellentUnitsBad AssMarineMarine CorpsFirst ClassCharging Author:Chris Kyle

“Everyone wants to be happy; happiness is a right. And while on a secondary level differences exist of nationality, faith, family background, social status and so on, more important is that on a human level we are the same.

“I vote because it's what small-d democracy is about.
