“Pressure bursts pipes. I thank God for giving me peace of mind to overcome pressure. The difference between winning and losing is when pressure hits.”

I got three whippings a day from my mama.

When you do not change up a lot, people may know you a lot better than they should.

The word of God steadies me. He says your trials and tribulations make you who you are. So you can see my whole story in the way I endured and overcame some testing experiences.

When at a young age you learn to face your fears, that makes the difference between people being champions and people not being champions.

I’ve had a great life following my faith and my instincts.

A champion shows who he is by what he does.

I think my whole living in vain involves me. I know that the biggest help for me is to help someone else in so many different ways.

The game’s been good to me and I hope I’ve been good to the game. I’m 50 years old and I’ve pretty much did everything that I wanted to do in boxing.

My goal is to be the undisputed Heavyweight Champion of the World.

I don’t believe in God because I don’t believe in Mother Goose.

Work is the keystone of a perfect life. Work and trust in God.

A god of kindness would be charitable to all. Your god of wrath and punishment is but a monstrous phantasy.

The Bible is God’s chart for you to steer by, to keep you from the bottom of the sea, and to show you where the harbor is, and how to reach it without running on rocks or bars.

It doesn’t really matter how rich you are, we’re all just renting here on earth! It all belongs to the Lord.
