More quotes by George Foreman
Changing your nature is the hardest thing to do. But I discovered that you can be who you choose to be.
George Foreman
Its very important that people know that I really enjoy everything that has happened to me. And I tell my kids... youre not going to be the tallest, fastest, prettiest, the best track runner, but you can be the nicest human being that someone has ever met in their life. And I just want to leave that legacy that being nice is a true treasure.
George Foreman

George Foreman
The question isn't at what age I want to retire, it's at what income.
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
Being angry and resentful of someone is like letting them live rent-free in your head.
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
I'm the world heavyweight champion. I consider myself a citizen of the whole world.
