“I was the first one in the gym, and the last one to leave.”

Impossible is not a fact, It’s an opinion.

The only limitations one has, are the ones they place on themselves.

It’s lack of faith that makes people afraid of meeting challenges, and I believed in myself.

True success is reaching our potential without compromising our values.

Champions come and go, but to be legendary you got to have heart, more heart than the next man, more than anyone in the world.

Friendship is the hardest thing in the world to explain. It’s not something you learn in school. But if you haven’t learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven’t learned anything.

The more we help others, the more we help ourselves.

I’m a fighter. I believe in the eye-for-an-eye business. I’m no cheek turner. I got no respect for a man who won’t hit back. You kill my dog, you better hide your cat.

Champions have to have the skill and the will. But the will must be stronger than the skill.

My main purpose is to pray five times a day. And that’s not easy.

I don’t count my sit-ups; I only start counting when it starts hurting because they’re the only ones that count.

Braggin’ is when a person says something and can’t do it. I do what I say.

The roughest and toughest fighter I fought was Joe Frazier.

Service to others is the rent you pay for your room here on earth.

Home is the place you can go when you’re whipped.

What you’re thinking is what you’re becoming.

The best activities for your health are pumping and humping.

I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times.

When you have a well developed body and you’re confident, you see people bending your way, wanting to be on your side, wanting to do things for you.

I believe in the philosophy of staying hungry. If you have a dream and it becomes a reality, don’t stay satisfied too long. Make up a new dream and hunt after that one and turn it into a reality.

My body is like breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I don’t think about it, I just have it.

Desire something and don’t just care what you have to go through to get it.

I will always stay hungry, never satisfied with current accomplishments.

I’m addicted to exercising and I have to do something every day.
