When I was in prison, I was wrapped up in all those deep books. That Tolstoy crap - people shouldn't read that stuff.
Everybody wants to be somebody. Everybody wants to be noticed. Everybody wants to be somebody important. Importance is just treating people good. That's important.
People relate to fighters so much because fighting reflects life.
Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth. Then, like a rat, they stop in fear and freeze.
Real freedom is having nothing. I was freer when I didn't have a cent.
I feel like sometimes that I was not meant for this society.
When Jesus comes back, these crazy, greedy, capitalistic men are gonna kill him again.
We all have struggles in life but we have to continue to fight
I want someone to attack me. No weapons. Just me and him. I like to beat men and beat them bad
People love you when you're successful, but if you're not, who really cares about you?
I just don't have the desire no more, I don't have the stomach to do it no more. I don't even kill insects in my house. I just don't kill anything no more. I used to kill pigeons, rip their heads off, 'You dirty rat pigeon!' I don't even have the heart to kill an animal no more. I just changed my whole life in general. That probably could have changed the way I fight.
We're all going to be tested. The dark energy is going to knock on all of our doors.
To some people the ego is evil. It gives you so much. It gives you everything you want. But it takes back too much in return. It gives you everything: money, riches, women, glamour, everything you want. But in return it takes back so much, and you're soulless. That's its goal. The ego's goal is to leave you soulless.
Destroy or be destroyed! I just love that way of life!
My intentions were not to fascinate the world with my personality.
Things can change. Life is all a learning process.
My power is discombobulatingly devastating. It's ludricrous these mortals even attempt to enter my realm.

We're all going to have tests in our life... We never know when that test comes, but we know we have to be prepared for it. We're all going to be tested. The dark energy is going to knock on all of our doors.
You have to have a bunch of dimensions [of yourself]. You have to be able to adapt in this world. You can't be a nice guy living in a world of savages.
These books ain't window dressing. I think Machiavelli's the most sophisticated writer outside of Shakespeare. Way ahead of his time. Such a manipulative person. Everything he accomplished he did by kissin' ass.
This white woman came up to me, and I'm thinking, WOW. When I was a kid, she would have been robbed and raped and left for dead. This is a real strange scenario, and I just wanted to cry. I'm like, "Who am I? Where's my heritage?
Everyone in boxing probably makes out well except for the fighter. He's the only one that's on Skid Row most of the time; he's the only one that everybody just leaves when he loses his mind. He sometimes goes insane, he sometimes goes on the bottle, because it's an intensive pressure sport that allows people to just lose it.
