We are perfect. According to God, we are perfect, yet we know that we are sinners. We believe in the fact that we are both saints and sinners at the same time as we live in this world.

We are just so thankful that Christ does not measure us by what we do. God is not measuring us by that, He is measuring us by our faith in Christ.

You are either good or you're not at whatever your job is. And it is more important that you understand the grace and love and peace you have in Christ, whether you are good or bad at whatever you are doing every day.

As a ballplayer, there is no Christian way to swing a bat. There is no Christian way to swing or throw.

I didn't realize the ceiling that I had, and I don't think a lot of players understand what they're capable of. Some of them dream of what they're capable of, but you don't really understand until you get in the moment and you give it everything you got and see in the end where you can end up.

I didn't ever realize that my ceiling would be this high, that I would be able to play at the major-league level. But here I am. I've been doing it for a while now, so it's certainly a blast. It's something that I want to cherish and make the most of.

It really comes down to God opening the doors for me, and I'm trying to walk through them doing the best I can.

I never even thought about playing professionally. I didn't think that was a possibility for a little kid from Illinois.

You want to represent Christ well with doing you job, first and foremost, because that's what you're there to do.

Like anybody else that goes and does their job, there's a way to do your job with excellence.

It was like a heavyweight fight, man. Just blow for blow, everybody playing their heart out. The Indians never gave up either, and I can't believe we're finally standing, after 108 years, finally able to hoist the trophy.

Half the time, I have trouble following our own pitcher's sequence.

I had a chance to choose a couple different places and, well, I grew up - I was a small-town kid from Illinois, so No. 1, just trying to win a championship for my home state.

Dana White's a scumbag. I don't take anything he says with any value.

Nate Diaz sucks.

I wouldn't fight Tyron Woodley; we go way, way back.

I think Georges St-Pierre should go down to fight Tyron Woodley. I think he has a chance.

Colby Covington has a very low IQ. He says a lot of stupid things, and it's almost embarrassing that he represents our country that way.

Colby Covington is an idiot. He is so stupid.

My main motivation is to prove I'm No. 1 in the world.

I'm dominant positionally, and my hands got power.

Some people who come from high levels in other backgrounds where they're used to being the best or used to being on a kind of pedestal, it's hard to kind of lower yourself again and just be one of the grunts. I kind of enjoyed that challenge in MMA.

One of my favorite topics to read about my whole life has just been famous athletes, and a lot of those have been combat athletes.

If you can't play the good guy, sometimes you've got to play the villain.
