I believe, in my prime, I could have fought with anybody alive.

When I started giving talks about women’s history, one of the things that bothered me was the tendency to say, ‘Well, everybody was totally oppressed and suddenly in 1964 we rose up, got our freedom, and here we are.’ It dismisses the women who fought for rights for several hundred years of our history up to that point.

I fought violently for the autonomy of architecture. It’s a very passive, weak profession where people deliver a service. You want a blue door, you get a blue door.

My parents used to fight a lot, and I think they fought a lot at night, and they would turn the television up to hide the sound of their fighting.

My dad was a Communist Party member who fought for his country.
I’ve been in the States and fought before. When I’m in that changing room, I’ll feel as if I’ve been in that situation before. Obviously I’m going to have to deal on the biggest stage, and it’s the Dallas Cowboys Stadium, but it doesn’t faze me.

The guys I lost to always challenged the title, because they were, like, title eliminators. I lost to Alexander Gustafsson and Anthony Johnson and they fought for the belt. Then I won fights against really tough guys.

There is something about military history that fascinates me. You find that many battles have been lost by people with very good military background when they fought battles in a battleground they didn’t understand. I have seen that in business, too. You have to look at a marketplace like a battle-ground.

In 1968, I fought and won the world middleweight karate championship by defeating the world’s top fighters. I then held that title until 1974, when I retired undefeated.
I think the only thing that happened when I fought Jim Miller is that I was a just kid, he had way more experience. I was winning the fight, landing punches and trying to get 10 submissions at the same time, and Jim Miller went for one attack only, a kneebar, and got it. His experience made the difference.
I can say now: all the combatants who participated in the fight for freedom in South America came to Algeria; it’s from there that all those who fought left. We trained them, we arranged for the weapons to reach them, we created networks.
I try to search for roles where the character is not dependent on how she looks, but it is hard because I didn’t know anyone in this industry, so I started as an extra and fought.

Kell Brook has a lot of heart. He showed it against Golovkin and when he came over here to the States and fought Shawn Porter. He’s a real warrior in the ring.

For a really long time in my life, I fought against how I look. Because I was raised Catholic in school, where everyone had to wear a suit and tie. I hated everything that stood for. And I realized when I walked down the street, everyone would see the guy I hated and not the guy I was.
When I first fought in the U.S., the size of the crowd was something I was not used to seeing, but you get used to it.

My father fought for me to play football. He never had to make me shinpads, but it was a lot of money to send to me to a soccer school. And to provide boots and things.

My twin sister, my cousin, and I used to write and perform plays for my family. We raided the closets for costumes and fought over parts. I’m sure I was the bossiest one.

The American people want a balanced budget. They want Congress to stop this barbaric practice of perpetual deficit spending. It really, if you think about it, is a form of taxation without representation. We fought a war over that issue and we won that war.
In the exodus out of Iraq, we’re seeing the effects of just leaving. We left before there was control of chemical weapons stockpiles, without a status-of-forces agreement. We left before the Sunni and Kurds we fought with and fought alongside with were stable, or without empowering them. We left on a political rhetoric.
When I played Bobby Fischer, my opponent fought against organizations – the television producers and the match organizers. But he never fought against me personally. I lost to Bobby before the match because he was already stronger than I. He won normally.
Our Prophet was a radical too- he fought against the injustices of his community and challenged the feudal order of his society, so they called him a radical. So what? We should be proud of that!

I’ve fought guys that I like. When you’re fighting a guy that you don’t like, you have to be able to separate certain aspects of it.

I’m scared of any fighter I’ve ever fought because they are some dangerous people to be dealing with. That’s also where the anxiety comes from.

The people who founded America, who fought for its freedom, did not look to anyone else to get them out of their troubles.

A lot of guys who I fought, they beat guys who were No. 1 contenders, and that’s why I fought them.

I went out there, and I fought Anderson Silva, and you know what? I got a big W, and that’s massive for my career going forward.

Nate Diaz is a tough opponent. I’ve fought him.

Any of the shows I’ve ever fought on, they always want to have me back because I always have the fight of the night performance.

The fact that religion plays such a part in how people vote troubles me, troubles me as a minister’s daughter. Because I always felt that the separation of church and state was what our forefathers and foremothers really fought for.
I’ve fought to close the gender and racial pay gap for a very long time. One piece of advice I like to give whenever I’m speaking on the subject: if you want equal pay, join a union! I’ve never seen a union contract that pays women 79 cents to a man’s dollar.

We first fought… in the name of religion, then Communism, and now in the name of drugs and terrorism. Our excuses for global domination always change.

I haven’t fought with crystal-clear vision my whole life.

I admire people who have fought for change: Martin Luther King Jr., Harriet Tubman, Abraham Lincoln. I’m dead serious when I say that – those are my heroes. I also like Ben Affleck.
My second pro fight, I fought on the Joe Calzaghe and Bernard Hopkins undercard.
I fought tall fighters, short fighters, strong fighters, slow fighters, sluggers and boxers. It was either learn or get knocked off.
Holly Holm – before she fought Ronda, the fights were never that great. It was like, ‘Yeah, she’s screwed against Ronda!’ Well, what they were doing is they were kind of playing opossum, just waiting for the big shot.
The magnificent army that fought in Desert Storm is a great army, and it still is a magnificent army today. But it was one we designed for the Cold War, and the Cold War has been over for ten years now.
Today there are people trying to take away rights that our mothers, grandmothers and great-grandmothers fought for: our right to vote, our right to choose, affordable quality education, equal pay, access to health care. We the people can’t let that happen.
I fought all my life to be at Real Madrid, to try to be in the starting XI.
Wilder has taken the hardest fights, out of any heavyweight in the world. He’s fought the most difficult fighters, in my opinion.
My grandfather was a great advocate of Scottish art at a time when Scottish artists struggled to be taken seriously. They were not highly regarded, but he fought for them, befriended them, and championed them.
At the end of the day, who at my age can say that they fought somebody that fought Muhammad Ali?
When I fought in The Ultimate Fighter Finale, I had microfracture surgery, and that’s usually eight month’s recovery turnaround. I had to fight three months after that, and I fought three months after that. And I had to train through that with that.
I knew from history that war comes with frightening regularity, often fought over the same ground and similar causes as previous conflicts.
Makers of empire, they have fought for bigger things than crowns and higher seats than thrones.
Ukippers are the kinds of fools who haven’t noticed they’re sleep-walking towards fascism. Many UKIP candidates are of the age when their parents fought in the Second World War.
‘Glory’ pays tribute to honorable men who faced unimaginable discrimination even as they fought to preserve basic human rights.
I never fought for money. I had a good career and legacy as featherweight champion.
I will be completely honest: when I fought in Manchester, they were very cruel to me. One fan actually spat directly in my face, and he was lucky enough where it hit my mouth.
We need to remind ourselves of the kind of society of which we have dreamed for so long, for which we have fought, and for which so many lost their lives.
Mum told me stories about her time in the Women’s Royal Navy, and about her dad, who had died before I was born – he’d been sent to Australia as a child, then joined the Australian Army in the First World War and fought at Gallipoli.
Every player wants to be at Real Madrid, of course. I fought my entire life to be at the club, but only in the starting line-up.
Throughout my career I’ve fought for the rights of women as full and equal members of society.
There doesn’t need to be hatred after a fight, because it’s all said and done. I’m cool with a lot of my opponents in the UFC. There’s people I’ve fought who were my friends in kickboxing tournaments and after we were still cool.
Both grandfathers fought in different wars. My mother’s father fought in World War II, and then my father’s father fought in Korea. And they’re both these country boys, one from rural Tennessee and one from rural Louisiana – and they never went back home.
Thank goodness we don’t live in medieval times, when people fought wars over ideas.
It is the function of the Navy to carry the war to the enemy so that it is not fought on U.S. soil.
I love to come home and work on one of my other jobs. Just to remember that the floors gotta be mopped, and that everything isn’t centered around what you fought about in Washington last week.
I know that every good and excellent thing in the world stands moment by moment on the razor-edge of danger and must be fought for.
I just want to fight and be remembered as the best, who fought everyone and beat them. Then the money, the numbers, the records, they all chase me.
I want to fight Cormier, that’s been a fight I’ve been trying to get forever. I can go in there and take him down. I can threaten him in ways he hasn’t been threatened. I don’t think he’s fought a wrestler like me.
Derbies are always well fought and with lots of fouls and interruptions.
If you look at Joshua’s six opponents before he fought for the world title, Wilder’s six opponents before the world title, Tyson’s six opponents. The guys I fought and the guys they fought, it’s the difference between night and day.
Europeans fought for shorter workdays, more vacation time, family leave, and all these kinds of things. Those haven’t been priorities in America: it’s been about money. You see, in the countries that fought for time, they cook more often; they have less obesity. There are real benefits to having time.
Hollywood always wanted me to be pretty, but I fought for realism.
Black women fought for the right to vote during the suffrage movement and fought again during the civil rights movement. The rote narrative in the press of the civil rights movement is truncated with the briefest of histories of men like Martin Luther King Jr., Jesse Jackson, or John Lewis.
I thought I fought a really good Orlando Salido. I never let him get into his fight. I knew what I needed to do against him and I think that was the difference. I was able to control the fight.
During the 19th century, Britain fought two wars in unsuccessful attempts to subjugate the Afghans. When Britain finally drew a border between India and Afghanistan in 1893, Pashtun tribes in southern Afghanistan were cut off from related tribes across the border in what was then India and is now Pakistan.
I think for people that have supported the women’s game for a long time, I think they understand the struggles that we have continually faced and that we’ve continually fought back against.
I lived in a bubble: my whole entire military career where I thought that everything was perfect. And I thought that every time we went overseas and we fought for this country, we were doing it because we were trying to get other people a sliver of the greatness that we have here in the United States of America.
California is among several states that already have fought their way out from under partisan gerrymandering by taking line-drawing authority away from the Legislature.
If I hadn’t fought back, I might have been Gidget forever.
I think that the very fact that CBS fought and fought and fought in Texas, in New York.
It’s good when you get to travel and see different places. I went with Alexander Povetkin, who fought Anthony Joshua, to Russia and stayed in Moscow for a bit.
If someone thinks that education, health, infrastructure all are different sectors and issues and they ought to be fought independently, then they are mistaken. There is an underlying pattern in the process. And that is bad governance.
I would like, before I die, to see the changes I’ve always fought for being made. If not, my life will have been worth nothing.
I fought a long time ago in Canada, I fought a Croatian guy, I don’t remember his name, but there I had a size advantage. At the end, I explained to him about cutting weight. He didn’t know about weight-cutting, so I explained to him, and I was bigger than him at that time.
Voltaire made up his mind to destroy the superstition of his time. He fought with every weapon that genius could devise or use. He was the greatest of all caricaturists, and he used this wonderful gift without mercy.
I’ve always been supportive of the right of Israel as a state, and I’ve always fought against anti-Semitism, even in my own community.
I wanted to have no ribs. I wore what was called a waist-nipper in those days. My mother made it. It’s a piece of rubber band I wore around to hold my rib cage in. I don’t know why I always loved that. I guess I was a glutton for punishment. I think I was born one of those people who loved swords and fought in armor.
I never went to war, but I served alongside some real heroes and grew deeply loyal to the service of those who fought and died. To me, as you might guess, the United States flag and National Anthem represent solemn reverence to combat veterans, the fallen and their families.
