My toughest fight was myself. For me to disclose and let things out was not easy because we don't want to seem weak or like we are different, but I learned that it's okay.

Within our dreams and aspirations we find our opportunities.

You have to know you can win. You have to think you can win. You have to feel you can win.

People can do more than they ever believe they can do. Physically, mentally, academically. You have to be pushed. It hurts. But it's worth it, and it's a great thing.

Bruce Lee was an artist and, like him, I try to go beyond the fundamentals of my sport. I want the public to see a knockout in the making.

Boxing brings out my aggressive instinct, not necessarily a killer instinct.

Success is attaining your dream while helping others to benefit from that dream materializing.

I've always believed that you can be whatever you want to be if you are willing to sacrifice and dedicate yourself.

I consider myself blessed. I consider you blessed. We've all been blessed with God-given talents. Mine just happens to be beating people up.

Inactivity is the biggest sin in boxing.

When we got back to the U.S., I wanted to kiss the ground after seeing what people in other countries are denied or don't have.

It is better to experience temporary discomfort to achieve the dream, than permanent comfort without any fulfillment.

God has enough blessing for every individual.

Service to others in their time of need is a privilege and an honor.

Golf is a hard game to figure. One day you will go out and slice it and shank it, hit into all the traps and miss every green. The next day you go out and, for no reason at all, you really stink.

Speak the truth. Affirm your desire. Declare your intentions. Recall your successes. Your psyche will believe you. Your body will feel you. Your Soul will thank you for the straight-up communication.

What's important for me is staying healthy.

The size of the place that one becomes a member of is limited only by the size of one’s heart.

People tell me they want to make the Bible relevant. Nonsense. The Bible's already relevant. You're the one that's irrelevant!

Audiences just naturally hate me on screen. I could play a role in a tuxedo and people would think I was rotten. You can do much more with a villain part.

I will commit not the terrible crime of aiming too low. I will do the work that a failure will not do. I will always let my reach exceed my grasp.
