People are hurt in love affairs and never recover, more than a boxing match.

We, too, need to be patient, especially when it comes to reaching new goals.

I am a winner each and every time I go into the ring.

Today the biggest decisions I make aren’t related to the heavyweight title. They are whether I visit McDonalds, Burger King, Wendy’s, or Jack-in-the-Box.

I look at my children and one thing I’m most proud of, in my heart, are my children.

You can make money or excuses, but not both.

When you abandon making choices, you enter the vast world of excuses.

Yes I make mistakes that I don’t ever make excuses for.

People sometimes rationalize their greed by saying that it is all for the good of their children but this is nothing but an excuse they use to make their despicable actions appear respectable and praiseworthy.

Everyone who is taken by death asks for more time, while everyone who still has time makes excuses for procrastination.
