As the eagle was killed by the arrow winged with his own feather, so the hand of the world is wounded by its own skill.Helen Keller
The last three or four reps is what makes the muscle grow. This area of pain divides the champion from someone else who is not a champion. That's what most people lack, having the guts to go on and just say they'll go through the pain no matter what happens.Arnold Schwarzenegger
Men are much oftener thrown on their knees by the melancholy than by the agreeable passions.David Hume
He who is the author of a war lets loose the whole contagion of hell and opens a vein that bleeds a nation to death.Thomas Paine
The person who grieves suffers his passion to grow upon him; he indulges it, he loves it; but this never happens in the case of actual pain, which no man ever willingly endured for any considerable time.Edmund Burke
Under the pressure of the cares and sorrows of our mortal condition, men have at all times, and in all countries, called in some physical aid to their moral consolations - wine, beer, opium, brandy, or tobacco.Edmund Burke
