After you work out, you have your dog with you. There's no better companion. You've got to have a friend. I didn't like opponents who had dogs with them. Because you know they had a little edge. They have a friend

More quotes by George Foreman
When I was a boxer, I wanted to be champion of the world, not the richest man in the world.
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
Many people fail not so much because of their mistakes they fail because they are afraid to try.
George Foreman
Without appreciation and respect for other people, true leadership becomes ineffective, if not impossible.
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
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
To be successful in life, you must get in the habit of turning negatives into positives.
George Foreman
I know from experience that you should never give up on yourself or others, no matter what.
George Foreman
I always carried a small American flag red white and blue with me so people would know I was from America.
George Foreman
As an entrepreneur, don't follow the crowd let them follow you.
George Foreman
Learn to sell and you'll never starve
George Foreman
I was a tiger, a good fighter, in good shape, but I was always nervous before boxing matches.
George Foreman
I look at my children and one thing I'm most proud of, in my heart, are my children.
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
The question isn't at what age I want to retire, it's at what income.
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
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
Evil lurks where disappointment lodges.
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
If you want it, leave your excuses behind and come and get it
