When you are as great as I am it is hard to be humble.
What keeps me going is goals.
We have one life; it soon will be past; what we do for God is all that will last.
Wars of nations are fought to change maps. But wars of poverty are fought to map change.
To be able to give away riches is mandatory if you wish to possess them. This is the only way that you will be truly rich.
There are no pleasures in a fight but some of my fights have been a pleasure to win.
There are more pleasant things to do than beat up people.
The man who views the world at 50 the same as he did at 20 has wasted 30 years of his life.
The man who has no imagination has no wings.
The fight is won or lost far away from witnesses - behind the lines, in the gym, and out there on the road, long before I dance under those lights.
Superman don't need no seat belt.
Silence is golden when you can't think of a good answer.
Service to others is the rent you pay for your room here on earth.
Rivers, ponds, lakes and streams - they all have different names, but they all contain water. Just as religions do - they all contain truths.
Prejudice comes from being in the dark; sunlight disinfects it.
People don't realize what they had till it's gone. Like President Kennedy - nobody like him. Like The Beatles, there will never be anything like them. Like my man, Elvis Presley - I was the Elvis of boxing.
Only the nose knows, Where the nose goes, When the door close.
Only a man who knows what it is like to be defeated can reach down to the bottom of his soul and come up with the extra ounce of power it takes to win when the match is even.
Old age is just a record of one's whole life.
