Don King
I dare to be great. The man without imagination stands unhurt and hath no wings. This is my credo, this is my forte.

Don King
I wasn't getting invited to any board meetings. I had to kick the door down.
Don King
It ain't about if he knocks a guy out. It's about how he knocks a guy out. It's the style, the improvisation.

Don King
There's only one rule anyone connected with boxing must keep in mind - everything you here in boxing is a lie.
