Fighting Quotes
-
Fear is an instinct, like hunger or anger. We need it to help us survive, and it is nothing to be ashamed of. It lets us know whether we should fight or flee.
David Clement-Davies
-
The relentless pull of love is a thousand times harder to fight than the tides. If you’re lucky, you’ll make it out before you drown. If you’re even luckier, you’re pulled under just long enough to wash away the sorrow. If you’re really lucky, like me, you resurface just in time to find the one you love floating right beside you.
Cassia Leo

Fighting for me is a chess game. I'm not angry with my opponent. I just want to go in there and win.
Demian Maia
-
I cling to my anger with every ounce of humanity left in my ruined body, but it's no use. It slips away, like a wave from shore. I am pondering this sad fact when I realize the blackness of sleep is circling my head. It's been there awhile, biding it's time and growing closer with each revolution. I give up on rage, which at this point has become a formality, and make a mental note to get angry again in the morning. Then I let myself drift, because there's really no fighting it.
Sara Gruen

Suicide is no solution. Keep fighting.

Paramore

I was putting middleweights, Light heavy's, heavies and Super Heavy's to sleep. And it got to a point where no one would fight me, so I retired. I will never box again because I went 2 years and no one would fight me at all, zero. That's when I started training fighters.
Ann Wolfe
-
Fights aren't won in the octagon, they're won in the months leading up to them, in a near-empty gym, in the lost hours of a day, whether I feel like it or not.
Georges St-Pierre
-
If you have to die better to go down fighting. Better to die in company. Better not be the last, and alone, weighed down with all that knowing.
Elizabeth Bear
-
I'm always at my best when I'm fighting a guy who insults me..questions my integrity; it lights more fire in me.
Georges St-Pierre

I write, fighting for every sentence, fighting to hold the reader with every paragraph.
Hector Tobar
-
It is well known that we fight in God's cause... but unless God helps us by a miracle the English, who have faster and handier ships than ours, and many more long-range guns, and who know their advantage just as well as we do, will never close with us at all, but stand aloof and knock us to pieces with their culverins, without our being able to do them any serious hurt. So we are sailing against England in the confident hope of a miracle.
Nicholas Rodger
-
We have diverted soldiers from other organizations to fill our high-priority, war-fighting formations, ... Second, we have, for years, mortgaged our future readiness -- this modernization effort -- in order to assure that our soldiers had, in the near-term, what it takes to fight and win decisively.
Eric Shinseki
-
It takes more courage to dig deep in the dark corners of your own soul and the back alleys of your society than it does for a soldier to fight on the battlefield.

I think part of running for president, people want to know who you are, what influenced you, what motivates you, not just where you stand on issues but what is in your heart and what were things in your life that led you to believe the things you believe in, and fight for.
Karen Finney
-
When you look back at the fight against Communism, one thing that is striking is the degree to which we [the United States] were carried on by our own values. One of the real challenges of the new era is going to be to maintain those values and not adopt those of our adversaries.
David E. Hoffman

We all come from different levels, and I think every human has their own relationship to violence, athletic violence and fighting.
Jon Bernthal
-
I think you reach your full potential by fighting often enough against varied types of opponents. This makes you a complete fighter.
George Chuvalo
-
A lot of times, candidates for office, especially incumbents, seem to get drawn into their opponents' arguments, and fighting on their turf, because you want to defend yourself. That's wrong. Fight on your own turf. Make them come to you. Make them explain why they don't agree with your position. I think that a lot of times, too many liberals, progressives, lose because they're afraid to really stand up for what they believe in.
Tom Harkin
-
Watching myself fight, I realize the line between success and failure is so narrow, it's scary.
Georges St-Pierre
-
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.
Georges St-Pierre
-
As long as I'm fighting, I'm not dying." - Mara Jade Skywalker
