You don't want no pie in the sky when you die, You want something here on the ground while you're still around.
Muhammad Ali
I predict that this will be the greatest book ever and it will sell more than any other book in history
Muhammad Ali
If you wonder what the difference between them and me is, I'll break the news: you never heard of them. Most of them ... can fight almost as good as I can. I'm just saying you never heard of them.
Muhammad Ali
He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life.
Muhammad Ali
