If I had to come up with something that just came to me, I think growing up in a small town, I want knowledge. I still think today, knowledge is one of the keys.

HERSCHEL WALKERIf you eat a chicken wing or a chicken tender in some parts of the country, I probably supplied it.
HERSCHEL WALKERI don’t worry about protein. I don’t worry about all that. I’m from old school. I grew up in south Georgia. They didn’t worry about cholesterol or protein. They went out and worked and lived a long time, so I don’t put a lot of worries in my mind.
HERSCHEL WALKERIf you dedicate yourself to something, you can achieve it. It’s simple, but it’s true, and your age is just an excuse.
HERSCHEL WALKERI was a little different. I still say I’m a little different, because success to me is not having the most money, or having the biggest car or the biggest house.
HERSCHEL WALKERMMA is my love.
HERSCHEL WALKERI told my mom the reason I started working out was because I wanted to break the necks of the people picking on me. I wanted to hurt them. I said I didn’t want any teacher to put me down any more.
HERSCHEL WALKERAs a born-again Christian, I believe God actively and directly influences me to action.
HERSCHEL WALKERGrowing up, I started developing confidence in what I felt. My parents helped me to believe in myself. I wasn’t the best looking guy, I wasn’t the best athlete in the world, but they made me feel good about myself.
HERSCHEL WALKERSuccess is just being happy. And I try so many different things. I do a lot of different things. Because I think God has helped me to love myself. I know who God is, and I love God.
HERSCHEL WALKERThat person has to be accountable for himself. I think that’s what we have to do in society today is to be accountable for yourself. I think we have the tendency to always want to live someone else’s life.
HERSCHEL WALKERMy message is, you can accomplish anything, not just on the athletic field, if you’re willing to work pay the price. It doesn’t matter what your age.
HERSCHEL WALKERThe hardest thing I had to overcome in life? I think racism. That’s so difficult because I don’t think anyone can ever understand it. It’s not that people don’t want to understand it, but they don’t want to touch it.
HERSCHEL WALKERBecause my parents, growing up, they worked hard. Everyone in my family woke up early in the morning. I used to see my mother and my father go off to work, and come back and, no matter what, they had time for the kids.
HERSCHEL WALKERI always said I wanted to be a great athlete, ever since I was an overweight little kid. I just love competing in any kind of athletics.
HERSCHEL WALKERI’d usually read the Bible a lot. Read little short Bible stories. And today, whenever I give speeches, I bring up a few of those Bible stories, because those are inspirations to me.
