Honey, I just forgot to duck. (to his wife, on losing the World Heavyweight title)

Somebody told me it was frightening how much topsoil we are losing each year, but I told that story around the campfire and nobody got scared

I think our guys kind of got where we played to keep from losing than playing to win. But it showed a lot of character to hang in there the way they did.

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

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

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.
