“I was made to be where I’m at. I just had to go through some challenges, so that I can educate others later.”

I’ve done so many unpredictable things and so profoundly. Even the people who want to go against me, are afraid to go against me. They’ve been wrong so many times. A lot of them are just being mum right now. They must feel I can still do things.

I wouldn’t wanna fight me, because I know it wouldn’t be a good outcome for both.

I was told I would be back in 90 days. If I listened to people, I would be back where I came from – the penitentiary.

I’ve got a history of frustrating guys and making them angry.

There’s no great person that lived that didn’t go through scrutiny or ridicule and prosecution in all types of ways, to be who they are in history.

Prison is a thing where talking gets you killed. What gets you respect is you do. The guy that you fear is a guy that says nothing.

I didn’t need to take any fight for the last 10 years. But I’ve always fought the best and I’ve always wanted to prove myself to the best.

It takes no effort to be ordinary. Ordinary is not even a challenge. You can do nothing and be ordinary.

This is a great position to be in. I don’t really believe there is any fighter, in any decade that can be in my position of luxury that I’ve been in for many years.

I don’t know what being a 48-year-old feels like. There are a lot of 48 year olds that aren’t in good shape. The pharmacy is making a killing off of them.

This fight isn’t about boxing, it’s something deeper than that.

There are so many things I’ve done that the world of boxing has witnessed. It’s going to be difficult for the boxing people to pick one of my performances as the best.

There’s always a chance you will see something new in a fight. Especially in boxing.

The powers that be don’t want athletes or boxers to become as smart as they are.

I would never let a white boy beat me. You can print that. I would never lose to a white person.

I function better when my back is to the wall.

What is genius, anyway, if it isn’t the ability to give an adequate response to a great challenge?

It was a huge challenge to learn digital painting well enough so that computers don’t pop into mind when one sees one.

You have to meet all of the challenges, big and small. Because how you start is how you finish.

It takes no effort to be ordinary. Ordinary is not even a challenge. You can do nothing and be ordinary.

The further you get away from yourself, the more challenging it is. Not to be in your comfort zone is great fun.

Embrace each challenge in your life as an opportunity for self-transformation.

Totalitarian rule marks the sharpest contrast imaginable with political rule, and ideological thinking is an explicit and direct challenge to political thinking.

Now, we are seeing many of these same companies face the truth about their financial standing. Congress is faced with the challenge of reforming our accounting industry and holding corporate executives responsible for their actions.
