Cus D'Amato
- Cus D'Amato: What's the difference between the hero and the coward? There ain't no difference. They both feel exactly the same on the inside: they both fear dying and getting hurt. It's what the hero does that makes him a hero. And what the other doesn't do, makes him a coward.
- Cus D'Amato: [to a young Mike Tyson] Don't be scared of going into a fight, it's when you're AIN'T scared, that's the time to worry, because fear is the friend of every good and reasonable athlete.
- Cus D'Amato: You allow yourself to be distracted, you allow yourself to fail. Everybody get back to your work.
