More quotes by George Foreman
So many of us have loved ones and people we really care about, and the only time we show affection is when they are gone. I have preached at funerals, and you see loved ones who didnt even say hello to dear ones when they were alive. Give them hugs, kisses while they are alive and need it.

George Foreman
These guys from the nation's capital - now they do a lot of thinking. Referring to boxers from D.C., not politicians.
George Foreman
I'm working for the Lord, and even though the Lord's pay isn't very high, his retirement program is.
George Foreman
I hit Ali with everything and he said 'is that all you got' and I said 'yeah, that's pretty much it.'
George Foreman
You may have even an ex-wife or an ex-husband, but you can never have ex-children.
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
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
They say I don't fight guys unless they're on a respirator. That's incorrect. They have to be at least 3 days off a respirator.
George Foreman
If I could take a punch like that, I might have been able to think up a name besides George for all my sons.
George Foreman
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
