More quotes by Muhammad Ali
Islam is against killing, terrorism, and murder. People who commit these acts in the name of Islam are wrong. And if I had a chance I would do something about it.
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
I'm not trying to get power over white. I'm involved in a freedom struggle. Not a power struggle.
Muhammad Ali
I can't see what God's plan is. I just know I've got to live with it.
Muhammad Ali
Get up sucker and fight. Get up and fight
Muhammad Ali
Inside of a ring or out, ain't nothing wrong with going down. It's staying down that's wrong.
Muhammad Ali
During my boxing career, you did not see the real Muhammad Ali. You just saw a little boxing and a little showmanship. It was after I retired from boxing that my true work began.
Muhammad Ali
Eat your words! Eat your words! I am the greatest.
Muhammad Ali
If they can make penicillin out of mouldy bread, they can sure make something out of you.
Muhammad Ali
Boxing is a stepping stone just to introduce me to the audience. If I was still in Louisville, Kentucky and never was a boxer I still might get killed next week in some kind of freedom struggle and you'd ever hear the news.
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
Fifty years old, 212 fights, and I'm still pretty.
Muhammad Ali
Some gems for the greatest of them all
Muhammad Ali
I am the greatest. I said that even before I knew I was. Don't tell me I can't do something. Don't tell me it's impossible. Don't tell me I'm not the greatest. I'm the double greatest.
Muhammad Ali
As soon as I heard the truth that Elijah Muhammad teaches us in America, it made me accept it.
Muhammad Ali
I am the king of the world. I'm a man's man.
Muhammad Ali
You may talk about Sweden, you may talk about Rome, but Rockville Center's Floyd Patterson's home. A lot of people said that Floyd couldn't fight, but you should have seen him on the comeback night.
Muhammad Ali
What you're thinking is what you're becoming.
Muhammad Ali
Being Ali's doctor is somewhat like being gynacologist to the Queen of England. One does not have to do much to receive good press.
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
