More From Barry McGuigan

People have said over the years that the reason i did not give up my seat was because i was tired. i did not think of being physically tired. my feet were not hurting. i was tired in a different way. i was tired of seeing so many men treated as boys and not called by their proper names or titles. i was tired of seeing children and women mistreated and disrespected because of the color of their skin. i was tired of jim crow laws, of legally enforced racial segregation.
Hurt Children Giving Up
I do remember, one time, a man came to me after the students began to work in mississippi and he said the white people were getting tired and they were getting tense and anything might happen. well, i asked him "how long he thinks we had been getting tired"? i have been tired for 46 years and my parents was tired before me and their parents were tired, and i have always wanted to do something that would help some of the things i would see going on among negroes that i didn't like and i don't like now.
Tired Men Thinking
I'm rightly tired of the pain i hear and feel, boss. i'm tired of bein on the road, lonely as a robin in the rain. not never havin no buddy to go on with or tell me where we's comin from or goin to or why. i'm tired of people bein ugly to each other. it feels like pieces of glass in my head. i'm tired of all the times i've wanted to help and couldn't. i'm tired of bein in the dark. mostly it's the pain. there's too much. if i could end it, i would. but i can't.
Lonely Pain Rain
The first thing i think about when i wake up most mornings is the fact that i'm tired. i have been tired for decades. i am tired in the morning and i am tired while becalmed in the slough of the afternoon, and i am tired in the evening, except right when i try to go to sleep.
Morning Sleep Tired
The christian has a great advantage over other men, not by being less fallen than they, nor less doomed to live in a fallen world, but by knowing that he is a fallen man in a fallen world.
Christian Men Knowing
I think boxing is a singular sport, because the stakes are so high and because it just appeals to people's primal instincts. it's a life and death sport, and it's a sport of sacrifice. it's a humbling sport, and people are coming from humbling circumstances. it's always fun to watch a person that's come from nothing to having everything and losing it again.
