“I always ask myself, what do I need to prove? I won the fight.”

I can be a champion and a public servant also.

In boxing, you never know who you’re going to face in the ring.

If we don’t have God in our life, we’re considered dead.

I’m not aiming for a knockout. I focus on doing my best. If the knockout comes, fine. If not, that’s okay.

In the ring I can tell right away what his style is and I can adapt to it. I’m adjusting to life as a politician. It’s different in training but I can stay focused on both.

With experience in boxing, you learn how to be a scientific boxer and how to fight easy.

I have to use my strengths, which [are] my speed, my quickness and my movements. If I do that, I really believe that I will come out on top.

I remember as a little boy I ate one meal a day and sometimes slept in the street. I will never forget that and it inspires me to fight hard, stay strong and remember all the people of my country, trying to achieve better for themselves.

I’m surprised that the fight was kind of easy.

I don’t mind having these relatives. I’ll give them a little, since they all prayed for my victory.

I hold that it is only when we can prove everything we assert that we understand perfectly the thing under consideration.

I don’t entirely approve of some of the things I have done, or am, or have been. But I’m me. God knows, I’m me.

The ups and downs, the problems and stress, along with all the happiness, have given me optimism and hope because I am living proof of survival.

Bill [Gates] and I believe philanthropy can only be effective if it starts things and proves whether they actually work or not. That’s the place that governments often don’t want to, or can’t, work.

The balance of evidence both from the cell-free system and from the study of mutation, suggests that this does not occur at random, and that triplets coding the same amino acid may well be rather similar.

Politics is not religion and we should govern on the basis of evidence, not theology.

I call upon you to draw from the depths of your being – to prove that we are a human race, to prove that our love outweighs our need to hate, that our compassion is more compelling than our need to blame.
