There ain't nothing like being in the corner, and the trainer is whispering in your ear and another guy is putting in your mouthpiece. Five seconds to go, the boom! The bell. It's more exciting than looking down a cliff.

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 know from experience that you should never give up on yourself or others, no matter what.
George Foreman

I was a tiger, a good fighter, in good shape, but I was always nervous before boxing matches.
George Foreman
You may have even an ex-wife or an ex-husband, but you can never have ex-children.
George Foreman
Being angry and resentful of someone is like letting them live rent-free in your head.

One of my goals is to inspire everyone I meet to become a better person.
George Foreman
