Image
We have one life / It soon will be past / What we do for God / Is all that will last.
Muhammad Ali
Image
I live. I travel. I eat. I pray. These are the things I do. I'd rather be in my condition than be a man with four children in a four-bedroom house, working hard every day to pay for his house, taking his children to school.
Muhammad Ali
Image
I know I got it made while the masses of black people are catchin' hell, but as long as they ain't free, I ain't free.
Muhammad Ali
Image
Black people in America will never be free so long as they're on the white man's land. We can't be free until we get our own land and our own country in North America. When we separate from America and take maybe ten states, then we'll be free.

It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.

No one knows what to say in the loser's locker room.
Muhammad Ali
Image
Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing
Muhammad Ali
Image
God tries you in certain, certain ways. Some people are rich, and they believe in God. They lose the money, things get hard, they get weak and quit going to church. Quit serving God like they did.
Muhammad Ali
Image
I am an ordinary man who worked hard to develop the talent I was given.
Muhammad Ali
Image
I used to ask my brother Rudy to throw rocks at me. I'd dodge every one. That's how I learned how to bob and weave: ducking rocks.
Muhammad Ali
Image
I said, 'Oh, I know. If the white folks is in Heaven too, then the black angels were in the kitchen, preparing the milk and honey.'
Muhammad Ali
Image
If you look at the world the same way when you're 50 that you did when you were 20, then you wasted 30 years.
Muhammad Ali
Image
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
Image
Politicians are always saying that they are in support of Iraqi citizens and now they are increasing the price of petrol. We were oppressed for 35 years. We are like a sick patient who is in need of care, and they are increasing prices
Muhammad Ali
Image
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
Image
All I want now is to be a nice, clean gentleman. I've proved my point. Now I'm going to set an example for all the nice boys and girls. I'm through talking
Muhammad Ali
Image
It's the repetition of affirmations that leads to belief. And once that belief becomes a deep conviction, things begin to happen.
Muhammad Ali
Image
Lakes, rivers, streams...all are water and all travel to the same destination. So it is with religion.
Muhammad Ali

The man who will whip me will be fast, strong and hasn't been born yet.
