Don King
Don't worry about appeasing the establishment. Don't acquiesce to an alleged power. Be with the people, not the establishment. The guy that's sitting next to you, that's who you got to beware. Judas was sitting right next to Jesus.
Don King

I am a product of a rat and roach infested black ghetto. It is easy for me to rationalize my dealings as a numbers man. I'll defend men today who are involved in it.
Don King
When I came into boxing, when it was more out of control, no fighters got an opportunity to fight. I came in: everybody got an opportunity to make a living in America.
Don King
Integrity, number one. Even in business that's predicated on lies I refuse to become part of the lies that is all-consuming.
Don King
I wasn't getting invited to any board meetings. I had to kick the door down.
Don King
I'll pay them right after it snows in Panama. Let Eleta pay them if he feels so strongly about it.
Don King
You see, the problem with me is I'm so good even my friends think I'm doing something wrong. Flair and flamboyance is not illegal. It may be detestable, it may be offensive, but it's not illegal.
Don King
People are my most important asset. Faith in the supreme being, trust, credibility and performance are the things that have brought me to the top.
Don King
Forgiveness is a beautiful thing. That's why I forgive Reince Priebus, that little Greek rascal.
Don King
There's nothing wrong with options. Options are everywhere. In movies, in sports. Options is not a dirty word. I need to pay my overheads, you know. I invest a lot of money developing a fighter and then I deserve to reap the rewards.
Don King
Mike Tyson was one of the most terrific athletes I've ever met.
