Growing up poor, I didn't even have a lunch to take to school.

All I've ever tried to tell anyone is that I'm not a black man or a white man or anything else. All I've ever been was an American.

Anybody going into boxing already has brain damage.

We, too, need to be patient, especially when it comes to reaching new goals.

All my sons are named George Foreman. They all know where they came from.

I do believe he’s the greatest, but forget about boxing - give that to Joe Louis, or somebody - I believe he’s one of the greatest men I’ve ever met.

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.
