Quotes by George Foreman  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“The world is full of people who want to play it safe, people who have tremendous potential but never use it. Somewhere deep inside them, they know that they could do more in life, be more, and have more -- if only they were willing to take a few risks.”
George Foreman, Knockout Entrepreneur

“When problems arise, you will usually find two types of people: whiners and winners. Whiners obstruct progress; they spend hours complaining about this point or that, without offering positive solutions. Winners acknowledge the existence of the problem, but they try to offer practical ideas that can help resolve the matter in a manner that is satisfactory to both parties.”
George Foreman, Knockout Entrepreneur

“Many people fail not so much because of their mistakes; they fail because they are afraid to try.”
George Foreman, Knockout Entrepreneur
