“Sugar leaves you stranded; I make sure I have the proper amount of protein before I work out.”

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.

There is a winner in you. You were created to be successful, to accomplish your goals, to leave your mark on this generation. You have greatness in you. The key is to get it out.

Remember not only to say the right thing in the right place, but far more difficult still, to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment.

There are far, far better things ahead than any we leave behind.

God hasn’t brought you this far to leave you. He won’t let you get in a problem that He can’t get you out of.

Love is an untamed force. When we try to control it, it destroys us. When we try to imprison it, it enslaves us. When we try to understand it, it leaves us feeling lost and confused.

If you want to leave your footprints On the sands of time, Do not drag your feet.

True change is within; leave the outside as it is.
