I seem to recall hearing Sifu suggest to one of my fellow students at the Small Universe course to start a thread like this on the English part of the forum (I guess there is a thread titled something like "Sifu Says" in a non-English section of the forum)
I'll start with this quote I found from Question 15, of Jan, 1999 Part 3 while working on some old Question and Answer pages from Sifu's site:
Originally posted by Sifu
Daily practise the apparently simple exercise of breathing in and out slowly and deeply. At the end of this exercise, close your eyes gently (if you have not closed them earlier), and gently visualize that you are radiating good energy so powerful that -- in some mysterious ways which you need not have to know why or how -- even if the crooks found you, they could not harm you. Meanwhile, think of good thoughts and do good deeds whenever you can. Good energy is simply incompatible with minds and deeds that are evil.
"Take a moment to feel how wonderful it feels just to be alive."

You beat me to it -- I wanted to start this thread. I would have named it "Quotations from Sifu", which is the name Sifu suggested over breakfast. The original Spanish thread is titled "I heard it from Sifu", and was started by Sifu Papalo.
...
I recall Sifu said a few times during the Small Universe Course, emphatically and confidently:
I have changed the thread title to Sifu's suggestion as noted by Bernardo. Thanks for starting this thread, Alex. I'm sure it will be a beautiful journey of quotations.
Very good timing Alex, I was just thinking about setting up this wonderful thread as well
So here one quote from which I am still not sure if I have to laugh in sheer awe or cry out of gratitude:
When masters of the past attained a real breakthrough of Small Universe, they would never become sick anymore, or more accurately, they would have overcome 100 diseases. Furthermore, when a Master attained a real breakthrough in the Big Universe, he would live up to a 100 years, or never die. This (the big Universe) is what we are going to learn tomorrow.
Give yourself a few seconds to feel relaxed. Then smile from your heart. Don't worry how you do it; just do it. Just smile from your heart and feel, really feel, how relaxed, cheerful and happy you are. It is a big mistake to think I am being farcical. But I can tell you, in my capacity as a chi kung grandmaster, that this feeling of relaxation and cheerfulness from your heart may possibly be the best benefit of this exercise.
a good speach is comparatively the same like a miniskirt: it must be long enough to cover the important things and short enough to keep things interessting
