More quotes by Muhammad Ali

Muhammad Ali
Unknown Make new friends but keep the old ones one is silver and the other's gold.
Muhammad Ali
When I meet a new person, I don’t see race or religion. I look deeper. We must learn to satisfy our conflicts peacefully and to respect one another.
Muhammad Ali
If the boxers are a little more colorful, talk a little like I did and just do half as much as I did for boxing, it will be all right.
Muhammad Ali
Money and riches don't mean nothing to me. I don't care nothing about being no rich individual. I'm not living for glory or for fame all this is doomed for destruction. You got it today, tomorrow it's gone. I got bigger things on my mind than that. I got Islam on my mind.
Muhammad Ali
Do you know why I’m the fastest heavyweight in the world? I’m the only heavyweight that trains underwater!
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
We black people, as a whole, are at war we'll say with the white power structure. Not physically, but we have definite protests to win the battle.
Muhammad Ali
Anyhow, I don't think Don King's a very good man. But then again, I doubt that a good man *could* succeed in his business. I'm sure boxing was a dirty sport before he came around. He may have just made it moreso. So that's about all I've got to say about him.
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
Even today, if my title hadn't been given back to me and I was in such poverty where I had to go and find a job, I would have done that.
Muhammad Ali
Lighting that torch in Atlanta didn't make me nervous. Standing up to the government - that made me nervous.
Muhammad Ali
Some people have special resources inside, and when God blesses you to have more than others, you have a responsibility to use it right
Muhammad Ali
The world’s champ should be pretty like me!
Muhammad Ali
A lot of boxers' features change - mainly when I fight 'em
Muhammad Ali
All through my life, I have been tested. My will has been tested, my courage has been tested, my strength has been tested. Now my patience and endurance are being tested.
Muhammad Ali
When I beat Sonny Liston, I shocked the world. When I joined the Muslims, I shocked the world. When I beat George Forman, I shocked the world. I am from the House of Shock
Muhammad Ali
I'm the greatest fighter in the entire world, how can I be afraid? I love people and people love me.
Muhammad Ali
Whatever the challenge was, however unattainable the goal may have seemed, I never let anyone talk me out of believing in myself.
Muhammad Ali
In Florida I was illiterate, Boxing Authority didn't want me, then they had a special psychiatrist to come to Kentucky, they checked and they didn't want me. But as soon as my name was Mohammed Ali, as soon as I announced I was a Muslim, then all of a sudden I became smart.
Muhammad Ali
