Other Arnold Schwarzenegger quotes:
Forget plan B. To test yourself and grow, you have to operate without a safety net.
Failure is not an option. Everyone has to succeed.
I've seen firsthand coming here with empty pockets but full of dreams, full of desire, full of will to succeed, but with the opportunities that I had, I could make it. This is why we have to get back and bring California back to where it once was.
The more knowledge you have, the more you're free to rely on your instincts.
I would never exchange my life with anybody else's.
What I'm doing is the thing I want to do. I don't care what other people think. I still will be a bodybuilder. I love it. I love the feeling in my muscles, I love the competition, and I love the things it gives me.
I'm a competitive bodybuilder; I'm not training just to be healthy. Ninety-five percent of the people training with weights are into this health thing, and it's a different mentality entirely.
Always listen to your inner voice, your instincts.
If I train the hardest, run the longest, go beyond what anyone else has the mental determination to do, I will be the winner.
We all have great inner power. The power is self-faith. There's really an attitude to winning. You have to see yourself winning before you win. And you have to be hungry. You have to want to conquer.
