These are a few of my favourite quotes

These are some quotes by authors unknown to me. If you know who should get credit, please send me a message so that a small fraction of my fathomless ignorance will be cured. On the other side of the coin, I have no reluctance to 'improve' anonymous quotes and make them mine. Sort of.

Don’t try to have the last word, you might get it

Don’t worry about knowing people, make yourself worth knowing

Doubt is the beginning, not the end, of wisdom (note from anthologist IronHerder: I'm not sure that's true)

Do what is right: ignore what others would have you do, or not do

Drugs always lead nowhere, but they take the scenic route to get there

Early to rise, and early to bed, makes a man healthy but socially dead

Eighty percent of success is showing up, and ninety percent is showing up prepared

Entrepreneurs fail 3.8 times before they succeed, and if necessary, they make up even more statistics

An Erection does not count as personal growth

Even at a MENSA meeting, someone is the dumbest person in the room

I've tried saying NO to alcohol....however, it refuses to listen!

I have always adhered to two principles. The first one is to train hard and get in the best possible physical condition. The second is to forget all about the other fellow until you face him in the ring and the bell sounds for the fight.

I'd be conceited if I said I could, but I'd be lying if I said I couldn't.

Why waltz with a guy for 10 rounds if you can knock him out in one?

To win takes a complete commitment of mind and body. When you can't make that commitment, they don't call you a champion anymore.

What could be better than walking down any street in any city and knowing you're the heavyweight champion of the world?

There is no doubt that man is a competitive animal and there is no place where this fact is more obvious than in the ring. There is no second place. Either you win or you lose. When they call you a champion, it's because you don't lose. To win takes a complete commitment of mind and body.

Roland La Starza was tough, but Ezzard Charles was the toughest man I ever fought. I learned what pain was all about when I fought him.

In the ring, I never really knew fear.

That was a fucking dumb question. If I didn't think I was gonna win, why the hell would I be fighting?!

I believe, in my prime, I could have fought with anybody alive.

I was on my face. I heard the count from one to 10. I kept telling myself that I had to get up, but I couldn't move. I couldn't make myself move. It was the strangest feeling.

Liston is like most big bullies, if you can stay away and make him miss for a few rounds he'll get frustrated. Once you strip away that feeling of invincibility, he can be had.

I don't want to be remembered as a beaten champion.

************************

Rocky is a poor Italian boy from a poor Italian family, and he appreciates the buck more than almost anybody. He's only got two halfway decent purses so far, and it was like a tiger tasting blood.

The greatness of Marciano in the ring was defined by the way he prepared for a fight, his ability to punch and take a punch.

Rocky Marciano stood out in boxing like a rose in a garbage dump.

When I was a young fellow I was knocked down plenty. I wanted to stay down, but I couldn't. I had to collect the two dollars for winning or go hungry. I had to get up. I was one of those hungry fighters. You could have hit me on the chin with a sledgehammer for five dollars. When you haven't eaten for two days you'll understand.

A champion is someone who gets up when he can't.

Tall men come down to my height when I hit 'em in the body.

Nobody owes anybody a living, but everybody is entitled to a chance.

Don't worry honey, I'm too mean to die.

You know what a champion is? A champion is someone who's ready when the gong rings - not just before, not just after - but when it rings.

The best defense is a good offense.

All the time he's boxing, he's thinking. All the time he was thinking, I was hitting him.

By forgetting the past and by throwing myself into other interests, I forget to worry.

I can't sing and I can't dance, but I can lick any S.O.B. in the house.

Tell him he can have my title, but I want it back in the morning.

For the first and only time, I was more worried about getting hurt by the crowd than by the guy I was fighting. I got a pretty good blast when introduced. The crowd was hollering and raising hell. I looked around for my bodyguard, a colorful New York character named Wild Bill Lyons, who packed two pearl-handled pistols and used to talk a lot about his days in the West. Wild Bill was under the ring, hiding.

I never went to bed in my life and I never ate a meal in my life without saying a prayer. I know my prayers have been answered thousands of times, and I know that I never said a prayer in my life without something good coming of it.

A champion owes everybody something. He can never pay back for all the help he got, for making him an idol.

Honey, I just forgot to duck.

Nailing him was like trying to thread a needle in a high wind.

I was a pretty good fighter. But it was the writers who made me great.

A good fighter usually knows, to within a very few seconds, when a three-minute round is going to end.

When you're fighting, you're fighting for one thing - money.

A Gentle Man and a Gentleman.

Even though they already know everything, teens still need a high school diploma

-- OR --

Teens should quit school and get jobs while they still know everything

Every job is a self-portrait of the person who did it

Every man should marry, because, after all, happiness isn’t everything

Every once in a while I feel like a 20-year-old, but there’s never an accommodating one around

Everyone leaves the world a little better, some just by leaving it

Everything is okay in the end; if it’s not okay, then it’s not the end

Except for 90% of women, everyone in the whole world wants to have sex

Experience comes after you need it

Experience is a good teacher, but her bill is significant and must be paid

Experience is a hard teacher, as the tests come before the lessons

Experience is something you don’t get until just after you need it

Experience is the comb we receive after we’ve lost our hair

Experience varies directly with equipment ruined
