Thanks a bunch everyone! I'm sure I'll be able to use most of these in my speech. Once again Thanks and God Bless. Houston

My favorite wrestling quote is:
"Basketball is for gay dudes."

Don't tell me about the pain, just show me the baby!

"If you haven't been beat then you haven't been far enough away from home." I heard Ben Duell Sr. say this on the radio, he is a commentator for wrestling, rings true in a lot of cases.

"There ain't a horse that ain't been rode, and there ain't a cowboy that ain't been throwd".

I don't know if anybod has put this on here yet but "It takes a big dog to weigh a hundred pounds" deep, I know but very meaningful.

"If wrestling was easy, it would be called basketball"

Here are some we have used at Remington..

Six minutes of pain, a lifetime of pride.

If it wasn't hard everyone would do it.

It's not the six minutes, it's what you do in those six minutes.

Excuses are the nails that built the house of failure.

Success is the sum of small efforts repeated day in and day out.

Hers is a quote they use at Kapaun / Pain is weakness leaving the body.

Here is a quote they use at Kapaun: Pain is weakness leaving the body.

Wrestling is the Marines of Athletics

Some of my favorites:

The anvil fears no blows.

What is hard to endure is sweet to recall.

There are many wrestlers who have competed without great knowlegde or skill, but none have ever wrestled without pride.- Dan Gable.

Some fun ones:
A closed mouth gathers no foot.

Never test the depth of the water with both feet.

It makes no sense to clench your butt cheeks after you have already farted.-Japenese proverb.

"whoever said winning wasn't everything probably lost"

A winner never quits,
A quiter never wins.
