“Braggin’ is when a person says something and can’t do it. I do what I say.”

Champions aren’t made in gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them a desire, a dream, a vision. They have to have the skill, and the will. But the will must be stronger than the skill.

Others may know pleasure, but pleasure is not happiness. It has no more importance than a shadow following a man.

Hating people because of their color is wrong. And it doesn’t matter which color does the hating. It’s just plain wrong.

You dont lose if you get knocked down; you lose if you stay down.

I’ve never let anyone talk me into not believing in myself.

The man who views the world at 50 the same as he did at 20 has wasted 30 years of his life.

Don’t count the days; make the days count.

Wisdom is knowing when you can’t be wise.

My toughest opponent has always been me.

It isn’t the mountains ahead to climb that wear you out; it’s the pebble in your shoe.

The fight is won or lost far away from the witnesses, behind the lines, in the gym, and out there on the road; long before I dance under those lights.

The greater our level of understanding, the harder the tests become.

To be a great champion you must believe you are the best. If you’re not, pretend you are.

The man with no imagination has no wings.

Impossible is not a fact, It’s an opinion.

The only limitations one has, are the ones they place on themselves.

You are you. Now, isn’t that pleasant?

If you’re not enjoying your work, you should either change your attitude, or change your job.

Positive thinking can be contagious. Being surrounded by winners helps you develop into a winner.

It’s all about attitude and feeling good about yourself and not looking like everybody on TV. You do not have to be small; you can have some junk in your trunk.

I’ll be back.

Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens.

I’m single because I was born that way.

Just keep moving forward, and don’t give a shit about what anyone thinks. Do what you have to do, for you.
