More quotes by George Foreman
Forgiveness is that subtle thread that binds both love and friendship. Without forgiveness, you may not even have a child one day.
George Foreman
Just look at the great Nelson Mandela. He came out of prison and saved his entire country. Some of the best people in the world have spent time in prison.
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
Anytime I can sneak in a moment to fish and ride horses, I'm a happy camper!
George Foreman
As a matter of fact, there was a period of time, especially in my first career, when that's the only one who would work out with me: my dogs. As you get better and better working out, there's no one who can keep up with you running.
George Foreman
When I was a boxer, I wanted to be champion of the world, not the richest man in the world.

Klitschko has had a good career. A lot of his fights have been out of the country as though he hasn't even been invited into the real heavyweight picture in the United States. He's a good fighter. You can't talk about him unless you can beat him and it doesn't seem that there's anyone around who can truly beat him.
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
If I could take a punch like that, I might have been able to think up a name besides George for all my sons.
George Foreman
The question isn't at what age I want to retire, it's at what income.
George Foreman
As long as I'm reading, I'm at home.
George Foreman
When I was a kid in Houston, we were so poor we couldn't afford the last 2 letters, so we called ourselves po'.
George Foreman
You live and learn. Then you die and forget it all.
George Foreman
No doubt about it, in my career Ron Lyle hit me the hardest. One time he hit me so hard I didn't see it until I saw it on film when I woke up!
George Foreman
There's never been a great fight without the writers taking on and finding an identity for it. That's probably what has happened boxing. Writers are not writing about us big boys anymore and I tell you right, however you feel, take something, find it, and use it because American needs something to read about.
George Foreman
As an entrepreneur, don't follow the crowd let them follow you.
George Foreman
People are hurt in love affairs and never recover, more than a boxing match.
George Foreman
Learn to sell and you'll never starve
George Foreman
I am a winner each and every time I go into the ring.
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.
