I was reading about Tatiana Suarez's thoughts after defeat and she gave this quote, which I thought was pretty cool. I can't say I'd ever heard it before.
“‘Champions don’t show up to get everything they want; they show up to give everything they have."
I don't think all fighters, or champs have that same mentality.
What are some of your favourite inspirational quotes on the subject of martial arts, competition, fighting, training, victory, defeat, etc.? I'd love to hear them.
Humility is one of the aspects of fighting I find most interesting. All living things fight. But humility is a most uniquely human aspect of it. Anyone in martials arts knows there can be a Tao to it. Anyone who’s seen someone get beaten bad, or taken that L themselves, knows there’s a wisdom and a safety to it.

Renzo: "The secret of this sport is, while you're the nail, hang in there, let them hit you, until the day you become the hammer, then you smash them back!"
Renzo (this is more about life, including via BJJ/MMA): "If today they locked me in a dark solitary room, giving me just enough to survive, I would still be the happiest man in the world – for all I've ever lived. The important thing is not the length of a life, but the intensity with which a man lived." The actual quote I remember (heard it in 2014-15) is him saying when they open the door after months/years he'd still be smiling.
That Tatiana quote is now one of my favourites. Going in my list of quotes I save on my PC.
