he neglects or loses it, the fault is his own, and he must be answerable for it.

The world is like a reverse casino. In a casino, if you gamble long enough, you're certainly going to lose. But in the real world, where the

exchanges is in the condition of the man who gambles at the gaming table. He rarely, if ever, makes a permanent success.

Elizabeth Mackay
I'm hungrier than all of them. They didn't put in the effort that I did to get the title. So I don't care
what it takes - I'm not giving up that title. I worked too hard to get it, and I'm not going to lose it.
Stipe Miocic
