And I just want to leave that legacy that being nice is a true treasure.

George Foreman
Being angry and resentful of someone is like letting them live rent-free in your head.
George Foreman
You may have even an ex-wife or an ex-husband, but you can never have ex-children.
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
All the dogs I have are German shepherds from Germany, and I fly them back to Germany to show them.
George Foreman
Without appreciation and respect for other people, true leadership becomes ineffective, if not impossible.
George Foreman
A Jack Russell terrier? My god. He'll burn you up. They never stop. A German shepherd, you can only go so many miles.
George Foreman
When I was a boxer, I wanted to be champion of the world, not the richest man in the world.
George Foreman
