The tenor of Tyson's quotes spans the entire spectrum.

You can get a rose or a hand grenade. He's like a more terrifying Yogi Berra in that regard.

Drop some Tyson and Yogi quotes in here and give these two wordsmiths their due appreciation.

Mike Tyson: I had my oldest son who was 16 and tell me he wanted to become a professional boxer. But stop there, you went to a private school. You can't be a boxer, you've taken trips to Europe, you've been around the world. You can't be a fighter with that. You want to fight guys like me? I don't want my kids to go through that, it's degrading. Boxing, you do it when you have nothing. It's a lot of sacrifices. I took the blows so that my children wouldn't have to do it.
When I look at them, I see middle-class children, who went to school, who do what they want. Boxing means wanting to be the best, to dominate everyone. I don't want to put that kind of pressure on them.


Yogi Berra: He hits from both sides of the plate. He’s amphibious.

Yogi Berra

"I didn't say all those things I said."

 

[JamesJabdi]

MIke - there is no difference between a hero and a coward in what they feel. It’s what they do that makes them different. The hero and the coward feel exactly the same but you have to have the discipline to do what a hero does and to keep yourself from doing what the coward does.
