A Quote by Bernard Hopkins

Father Time is whether you're an athlete or not an athlete. Father Time is always around. I think I'm just special. — © Bernard Hopkins
Father Time is whether you're an athlete or not an athlete. Father Time is always around. I think I'm just special.
Each great athlete must some day bow to that perennial old champion, Father Time, even as I, for Time eventually wins.
My father was an athlete, a great athlete, fought in the Marines in World War I. He was all sports and activity. My mother was all academics. I still have the complete works of Shakespeare that she had.
I consider myself an athlete. I train like an athlete, I eat like an athlete, I recover and get sore just like any other athlete.
I learned a lot from my father. I'm very lucky to have a father who was a professional athlete.
My father wasn't around when I was a kid, and I used to always say, 'Why me? Why don't I have a father? Why isn't he around? Why did he leave my mother?' But as I got older I looked deeper and thought, 'I don't know what my father was going through, but if he was around all the time, would I be who I am today?'
My father was just an amateur; my mother is not even an athlete herself.
I think once an athlete always an athlete and once you have a competitive nature about you, in general, it's hard to let go. Whether you're going to take it into medicine or take it into sport, the competitive drive never really leaves.
I think it's ironic that I fell in love with a man I thought I would never be interested in because he's an athlete. I was always, 'An athlete? Heck no.'
Serena Williams is the greatest tennis player of all time, the greatest female athlete of all time, the greatest athlete of all time.
There is too much fathering going on just now and there is no doubt about it fathers are depressing. Everybody now-a-days is a father, there is father Mussolini and father Hitler and father Roosevelt and father Stalin and father Trotsky and father Blum and father Franco is just commencing now and there are ever so many more ready to be one. Fathers are depressing. England is the only country now that has not got one and so they are more cheerful there than anywhere. It is a long time now that they have not had any fathering and so their cheerfulness is increasing.
My father's NFL dreams never really felt like motivation to me, but it was something to aspire to. He was such a great athlete, the least I could do is try and use my athletic talent to represent my country in a different way. He represented as a Marine. Maybe I could do something to represent as an athlete.
Throughout my journey in basketball, I always have someone to talk to in my father. I know how hard he had to work as an athlete.
When you're an elite athlete, it's a very special moment in time and you don't want it to end.
I don't think there is a perfect athlete. But if I had to come close to picking someone who demonstrates all the traits that I feel an athlete should have, I would say the perfect athlete would be Tiger Woods. He has the ability, he's humble and he's very good at what he does.
My father is an athlete and I wish to be a hero like him.
My father played music, so I was always around music, even from the time I was born. My father actually was the one that originally got me into music.
