“The words "how are you?" can pack a mean punch.”
“It’s not how hard of a punch you can throw, it’s how hard of a punch you can take.”
“Pleased as punch. That's an odd-sounding turn of phrase, isn't it? How can a punch be pleased? It's punch. Rum and lemons and such. And if it's the other sort of punch they mean, a punch in the face- well that doesn't sound very pleasing at all, does it?”
“Perfect? How can you define a word without concrete meaning?”
“Hear me out. Would you eat a hamburger if there was any chance it could punch you in the face?- How is a hamburger supposed to punch me in the face?Just say that it can. Would you bother? Or would you eat something else?”
“Today you had a very important lesson on taking punches. A lot of people will tell you that the first thing you have to learn is how to take a punch. But I believe the first thing you should know is that you can take one and survive. A punch won't kill you. Conquering your fear is the first step to becoming a powerful fighter.”
