“A Jack Russell terrier? My god. He’ll burn you up. They never stop. A German shepherd, you can only go so many miles.”

I was a tiger, a good fighter, in good shape, but I was always nervous before boxing matches.

It’s great to reminisce about good memories of my past. It was enjoyable when it was today.

Everybody wants to be somebody. The thing you have to do is give them confidence they can. You have to give a kid a dream.

If something is worth doing, it is worth doing right. I take that one step further. You shouldn’t do anything unless you do it right.

Changing your nature is the hardest thing to do. But I discovered that you can be who you choose to be.

I want to keep fighting because it’s the only thing that keeps me out of the hamburger joints. If I don’t fight, I’ll eat this planet.

I hope to have one more boxing match at the age of 55. Given that demographic at the age of 55 to 65, you’ve got to make a statement with your life. Otherwise, you are just existing.

If you want to be obsessed to be your best, you must get ride of the negative things that are weighing you down.

Growing up poor, I didn’t even have a lunch to take to school.

I’ve seen George Foreman shadow boxing and the shadow won.

Evil lurks where disappointment lodges.

Being angry and resentful of someone is like letting them live rent-free in your head.

Nobody can do everything well, so learn how to delegate responsibility to other winners and then hold them accountable for their decisions.

Without appreciation and respect for other people, true leadership becomes ineffective, if not impossible.

Read the Bible; it is your roadmap through life.

As a child I was sometimes so hungry that I used to dream that one day I’d get locked in a grocery store.

I would throw down roots with you if I ever had the chance. We’d grow strong in tender shoots, and bloom in burning hands.

In my dreams you conjure me like a spell in the night. Let us haunt one another with uneasy peace, and die burning alive.

Every now and then even the sweetest souls burn it to the ground, just to remind the rest of them who exactly they are fucking with.

You can fan the flames with hate or stroke the fire with love, either way, it’s going to burn.

What do you do when the passion burns out? Start another fire.

Her kiss is a sun-burn that never heals.

I will wait for you like a star until I burn out too.

Stay with me in this inferno and together we’ll watch the world burn.
