I started out making $4 for my first fight, but imagine paying $25,000 for a painting...look at me!

There is one hell of a difference between fighting in the ring and going to war in Vietnam.

It's the lack of faith that makes people afraid of meeting challenges, and I believe in myself. He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life. I figured that if I said it enough, I would convince the world that I really was the greatest.

Scatter abroad what you have already amassed rather than pile up new wealth.

You could be the world's best garbage man, the world's best model; it don't matter what you do if you're the best.

Who's gonna dare to be great?

The one thing I don't understand is war.
