You could write volumes about boxing promoter
Don King. And many have. But no profile can equal the words of the man himself.So on the day King turns 81, we allow him to do his own speaking.
And this comes without any trickeration about the man who said "everything but the Lindbergh baby" when asked what the government was investigating him for. Other declarations from King:
Quote:
"I'm a promoter of the people for the people and by the people and my magic lies in my people ties. I'm a promoter of America. I'm American people. You know what I mean? So therefore, uh, do not send for who the bell tolls 'cause the bell tolls for thee."
"If you cast your bread upon the water and you have faith, you'll get back cash. If you don't have faith, you'll get soggy bread."
"Martin Luther King took us to the mountain top. I want to take us to the bank."
"I can't believe that having said what I said was interpreted as having been what I said when I said it, because I said it where I said it, when I said it, and who I said it to."
"You don't get nothing from sleep but a dream."
