More quotes by Mike Tyson
Mr. Arthur Ashe, he was good. I read some of his books. He knew about everything, but he was real quiet and didn't talk much. I never met him.
Mike Tyson
Even though I heard him say he doesn't believe, cuz' that's why from watching Ali gave me the great deal of confidence and deep-down inner belief to believe there's no man fighting that could beat me.
Mike Tyson
In order to succeed greatly, you have to be prepared to fail greatly. If you can't do both of them, you've got a problem.
Mike Tyson
I was in handcuffs. I was under arrest. I remember there was this old lady looking at me, and I could tell she felt real sorry for me, and she did'nt know but all I wanted to do was take her purse.
Mike Tyson
I never look at a high point in my career. Everyone thinks about the Spinks fight, but that fight only lasted 91 seconds, so it's hard to say it defined my career.
Mike Tyson
I'm a good friend, but I'm a hell of an enemy. As your enemy, I want your demise. When I feel that in my heart it burns till I die.
Mike Tyson
These books ain't window dressing. I think Machiavelli's the most sophisticated writer outside of Shakespeare. Way ahead of his time. Such a manipulative person. Everything he accomplished he did by kissin' ass.
Mike Tyson
When you have something in life that you want to accomplish greatly, you have to be willing to give up your happiness…I’ve lost all my sensitivity as far as being embarrassed, being shy, you just have to lose that.
Mike Tyson
Every great general and warrior from the beginning of time was high.
Mike Tyson
It's just what I'm born to do, I'm born to entertain people. I could do it for thirty-thousand people or three people, it's just what I know how to do. My soul objective only is for me to have the audience say 'when's the next time I can see him?' That's what I do.
Mike Tyson
People relate to fighters so much because fighting reflects life.
Mike Tyson
I ain't never loan friends money I give it to 'em and I don't expect to get it back. Even when he says, I'll pay you back, I never expect it. If he gives it back, then hey, that's a feather in his cap, but I don't expect to get it back.
Mike Tyson
Anyone with a grain of sense would know that if I punched my wife I would rip her head off. It's all lies. I have never laid a finger on her.
Mike Tyson
I didn't come from a household where my mother dragged me outside and said, You'd better fight. My mother wouldn't let me fight. I was not an aggressive kid.
Mike Tyson
If Jesus was here, do you think Jesus would show me any love? Do you think Jesus would love me?
Mike Tyson
Friendth, Romanth, countrymen, lend me your earsth.
Mike Tyson
Being a champion opens lots of doors—I'd like to get a real estate license, maybe sell insurance.
Mike Tyson
Sometimes during a relationship, a friendship, a friend's gonna have to prove they're your friend, and you're gonna have to prove you're their friend.
Mike Tyson
How dare these boxers challenge me with their primitive skills? It makes me angry.
Mike Tyson
To some people the ego is evil. It gives you so much. It gives you everything you want. But it takes back too much in return. It gives you everything: money, riches, women, glamour, everything you want. But in return it takes back so much, and you're soulless. That's its goal. The ego's goal is to leave you soulless.
Mike Tyson
