More quotes by George Foreman
Everything America should be, Muhammad Ali is.
George Foreman
Sometimes God gives instructions that go against conventional wisdom, such as treating people kindly when they're hateful. Who really wants to do that? Instructions like that may not always make sense, so that's why I need to trust and obey the One who inspired them.
George Foreman
As an entrepreneur, don't follow the crowd let them follow you.
George Foreman
Boxing is the sport to which all other sports aspire.
George Foreman
I don't even think about a retirement program because I'm working for the Lord, for the Almighty. And even thought the Lord's pay isn't very high, his retirement program is, you might say, out of this world.
George Foreman
Anybody going into boxing already has brain damage.
George Foreman
I look at my children and one thing I'm most proud of, in my heart, are my children.
George Foreman
All I've ever tried to tell anyone is that I'm not a black man or a white man or anything else. All I've ever been was an American.
George Foreman
You have to keep your goal in mind and never lose sight of it. I envisioned myself winning the heavyweight title for ten years before I actually captured it. If you're not driven to do your best, you'll never reach the level of excellence in your life.
George Foreman
Learn to sell and you'll never starve
George Foreman
In boxing, I had a lot of fear. Fear was good. But, for the first time, in the bout with Muhammad Ali, I didn't have any fear. I thought, This is easy. This is what I've been waiting for. No fear at all. No nervousness. And I lost.
George Foreman
I'm the world heavyweight champion. I consider myself a citizen of the whole world.
George Foreman
So many of us have loved ones and people we really care about, and the only time we show affection is when they are gone. I have preached at funerals, and you see loved ones who didnt even say hello to dear ones when they were alive. Give them hugs, kisses while they are alive and need it.
George Foreman
The referee is going to be the most important person in the ring tonight besides the fighters.
George Foreman
There's never been a boxer better than Joe Louis. You'd take one shot from him and you were sure he'd have seven or eight more coming for you. Certainly Muhammad Ali was the greatest man ever to fight, but not the greatest boxer.
George Foreman
I hope to have one more boxing match at the age of 55. Given that demographic at the age of 55 to 65, you've got to make a statement with your life. Otherwise, you are just existing.
George Foreman
I respect that you want to protect your niece. You know, I didn't want my daughter to become a boxer. Neither did Mohammad. But Joe Frazier, on the other hand, he had his baby girl boxing in the crib.
George Foreman
Heroes have a rough time because they stand up when they ought not to, they speak when they ought not to they always have to go that extra mile.
George Foreman
My kids idea of a hard life is to live in a house with only one phone.
George Foreman
The world is full of people who want to play it safe, people who have tremendous potential but never use it. Somewhere deep inside them, they know that they could do more in life, be more, and have more -- if only they were willing to take a few risks.
George Foreman
