More quotes by 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
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

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
A hero is someone right who doesn't change.
George Foreman

George Foreman
The Internal Revenue Service is the real undefeated heavyweight champion.
George Foreman
I respect that you want to protect your niece. You know, I didn't want my daughter to become a boxer. Neither did Mohammad. But Joe Frazier, on the other hand, he had his baby girl boxing in the crib.
George Foreman
I think its so good for boxing when a new guy or new blood as we call it, makes a big statement.
George Foreman
Anytime I can sneak in a moment to fish and ride horses, I'm a happy camper!
George Foreman
