More quotes by Muhammad Ali
Sonny Liston is nothing. The man can't talk. The man can't fight. The man needs talking lessons. The man needs boxing lessons. And since he's gonna fight me, he needs falling lessons.
Muhammad Ali
I believe in Allah and in peace. I don't try to move into white neighborhoods... I don’t want to marry a white woman. I was baptized when I was 12, but I didn’t know what I was doing. I’m not a Christian anymore. I know where I’m going and I know the truth and I don’t have to be what you want me to be. I’m free to be what I want.
Muhammad Ali
Most people don't pray until they're in trouble. When people need help they pray a lot. But after they get what they want, they slow down. If a man takes five showers a day, his body will be clean. Praying five times a day helps me clean my mind.
Muhammad Ali
Our only hope lies in the power of our love, generosity, tolerance and understanding and our commitment to making the world a better place for all.
Muhammad Ali
When you saw me in the boxing ring fighting, it wasn't just so I could beat my opponent. My fighting had a purpose. I had to be successful in order to get people to listen to the things I had to say.
Muhammad Ali
If I could meet anybody? The prophet Muhammad.
Muhammad Ali
There are billions of people in the world, and every one of them is special. No one else in the world is like you.
Muhammad Ali
It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.
Muhammad Ali
I'm a Muslim. I've been a Muslim for 20 years. . . . You know me. I'm a boxer. I've been called the greatest. People recognize me for being a boxer and a man of truth. I wouldn't be here representing Islam if it were terrorist. . . . I think all people should know the truth, come to recognize the truth. Islam is peace.
Muhammad Ali
I just try to stay half way decent looking. Boxing's a rough sport and you get hit a lot.
Muhammad Ali
I'm relyin' on Almighty God, Allah, and whatever happens happens.
Muhammad Ali
Do not be ashamed to give a little for to deceive is to give still less.
Muhammad Ali
If I kept my mouth shut, because I can make millions, that isn't doing nothing.
Muhammad Ali
Rivers, ponds, lakes and streams - they all have different names, but they all contain water. Just as religions do - they all contain truths.
Muhammad Ali
Champions have to have the skill and the will. But the will must be stronger than the skill.
Muhammad Ali
That man was beautiful. Timing, speed, reflexes, rhythm, his body, everything was beautiful. And to me, still, I would say pound for pound... I'd say I'm the greatest heavyweight of all time, but pound for pound, I still say Sugar Ray Robinson was the greatest of all time.
Muhammad Ali
I am the greatest, I said that even before I knew I was.
Muhammad Ali
I'll tell you how I'd like to be remembered: As a black man who won the heavyweight title - Who has humorous and who never looked down on those who looked up to him - A man who stood for freedom, justice and equality - And I wouldn't even mind if folks forgot how pretty I was.
Muhammad Ali
If you want to be equal with me, you can get your own Rolls-Royce, your own house and your own million dollars.
Muhammad Ali
I think we're all brothers - that's the truth. But the press gave us the name black Muslims to cut us off from the others.
Muhammad Ali
