“My daughter Mei-Ying prefers to spend her time riding and practicing Shaolin fighting. No man will marry a woman who can toss him to the ground.Zhou shakes his head with a father's loving exasperation.”

“But I will win and give her my spirit, because this is the way a mother loves her daughter.-Ying Ying”

“But in the end I'd marry her to the one she herself loved. To a father, the man his daughter falls in love with herself always seems the worst. That's how it is.”

“When a man finds a woman who is capable of accepting him for himself, he’d be a fool to let her get away. When a man discovers a woman who believes in him and who is strong enough to understand and forgive his past, he’s finally able to stop wrestling with his conscience and his self–doubt. He welcomes that woman into his life and his heart, and he thanks God that they found each other in time to make a life together. And when a man loves a woman who’s that unique, he damn well marries her.”

“Oh, my daughter,at times you have to fight, but preferably not with your fists.”

“It is not every man's fate to marry the woman who loves him best”
