إن كان لديك محامٍ، فقد تنجو من المتاعب أحياناً. وقد وقعتُ في الكثير من المتاعب لأنني لم أكن أملك محامياً. وقد استعنتُ كذلك بمحامين سيئين. أما الجيدون، الذين أحببتهم، فقد صاروا أنا. صاروا الموقف الذي أكون فيه. حين كنتُ أتألم، كانوا يتألمون، وحين أنجح، كانوا ينجحون. صاروا أنا، وصاروا ما كان الموقف الذي تورطوا فيه.

“If you have a lawyer, sometimes you can get out of trouble. I've gotten into a lot of trouble because I didn't have a lawyer. I've also had some bad lawyers, too. But the good ones, the ones I liked, they became me. They became whatever situation I was involved in. When I felt pain, so did they. When I succeeded, so did they. They became me. They became whatever the situation was that they became involved with.”Mike Tyson — Mike Tyson: 'You Have To Feel Comfortable Being Uncomfortable'
