In raising children, life brings forth those things where you do what you should never have done and what I taught you never to do. And when my kids have done those things, I just kind of look at them and say, 'Now you know life.' ”

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 didn't even say hello to dear ones when they were alive. Give them hugs, kisses while they are alive and need it. ”

You may have even an ex-wife or an ex-husband, but you can never have ex-children. ”

I look at my children and one thing I'm most proud of, in my heart, are my children. ”

As a child I was sometimes so hungry that I used to dream that one day I'd get locked in a grocery store. ”

Everybody wants to be somebody. The thing you have to do is give them confidence they can. You have to give a kid a dream. ”

Changing your nature is the hardest thing to do. But I discovered that you can be who you choose to be. ”

I've been on the opposite side of decisions before when the crowd would be booing and saying that I lost. I've lived with it. Judging in boxing has been same since the beginning, and it isn't gonna change. ”

A hero is someone right who doesn't change. ”

As you get better and better working out, there's no one who can keep up with you running. If you don't have a good dog, it's going to be the most lonesome training camp you'll ever have. ”
