Love is the net where hearts are caught like fish.

I've never really resented hard work because I've always liked it. Up every morning for roadwork. Going to the gymnasium every day at 12 o'clock. I never change my pattern.

Shut up, I know what I'm doing!

I make predictions about what I'm going to do before a fight, that makes me nervous because I've gotten so good at it until people really look for me to do it.If I say the man's going to fall in round five, like your man Henry Cooper here, he was stopped in round five but it was on a cut - it wasn't because he was out. But usually 'm on the spot with my predictions and some people really gamble and bet money on the rounds I say.

Get up and say Elijah Muhammad is wrong when he says white are the devil? They have to prove they are not the devil.

Put yourself out on a limb, sucka, like me!

When you're right, nobody remembers. When you're wrong, nobody forgets.
