Muhammad Ali
When I was 9, I saw a wrestler on television named Gorgeous George. He said, I'm beautiful. I'm so pretty that if a sucker touches my face, I'll kill him. If he messes with my hair, I'll pummel him. I said to myself, That's a good idea. I am the greatest, I'm pretty. And then I took it a little further than he did.

Muhammad Ali
Who would have thought when they came to the fight? That they'd witness the launching of a human satellite.
Muhammad Ali

Muhammad Ali
Whoever knocks persistently, ends by entering.
Muhammad Ali
It's impossible for 30 million black people to be violent against 170 million - we need a mental revolution, unity in coming together, and not physical.

Muhammad Ali
Rest but never quit. Even the sun has a sinking spell each evening. But it always rises the next morning. At sunrise, every soul is born again.
Muhammad Ali
I have not lost Allah's hope in us to show compassion where none exists and to extend mercy in the most difficult of circumstances. We as Muslims must lead by example.
Muhammad Ali
