"My father was gone at the age of six and my mother became a crack addict when I was seven. I can't afford my rent, my bills, nor do I have any idea where my next meal is going to come from. If there is a man with more anger in his heart than me, I would love to meet him."-Aiden Walker

"Boxing is a sport that demands your full attention. It must be your life. You must live it, you must sleep it, you must breathe it. The very thought of existing outside of the ring cannot exist."- Coach Kay

"Do not hold on to anger or hatred for the people you love. When you get mad, get over it. When you get angry, relax. When you don't want to talk to someone for whatever reason you have, walk up to them and work it out. One day you will wake up, tomorrow or twenty years from now, and it will seem like a normal day. You will go to work, go to the gym, clean the house, whatever it is that you do. Somewhere in that day, you will get a phone call or text, and someone that you love will have died. A brother, sister, mother, father, child, aunt, uncle, whoever it may be. If your heart is filled with malice and hatred, then you will regret it. But if it is filled with love and compassion, you will never regret anything you say and do to people. Each memory will be a great one. You will remember the good, because you chose to destroy the bad." -Henry Brass

"I don't know if I can win this fight. Hell I don't know if I'll ever be the champ that everyone expects me to be, but what I do know, is that I'm willing to die in that ring for it, and that has to count for something." -Aiden Walker

"Just because I do not speak does not mean I do not listen. Often, a man of few words has more to say than a man of many." -Kenyon Martin

"Kids often look at hero's as men that kill the bad guys with the ease of their sword, with strength and confidence. They are not told of the pain that we feel, of the sacrifices that we make, and of the death that haunts our nights."- Shadow (Legend of the Phoenix: Rise of Crescent)

"A man's heart cannot be defined in times of prosperity and riches, but in times of darkness and despair." Sage (Legend of the Phoenix: Rise of Crescent)

"One man doesn't need to change the world, he only needs to change the world around him." Magus Guidan (Legend of the Phoenix: Rise of Crescent)
