More quotes by 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.

When I was 9, I saw a wrestler on television named Gorgeous George. He said, I'm beautiful. I'm so pretty that if a sucker touches my face, I'll kill him. If he messes with my hair, I'll pummel him. I said to myself, That's a good idea. I am the greatest, I'm pretty. And then I took it a little further than he did.
Muhammad Ali

Muhammad Ali
I've never really resented hard work because I've always liked it. Up every morning for roadwork. Going to the gymnasium every day at 12 o'clock. I never change my pattern.
Muhammad Ali
You have a right to say what you believe, and I have a right.
Muhammad Ali
We are stone enemies when the bell rings

I was the first one in the gym, and the last one to leave.
Muhammad Ali
I'm the best. I just haven't played yet.
Muhammad Ali
Sometimes I feel a lot of things but I keep it in. I'm sure we all have this built-in radar of what we predict and when it happens, we feel 'I knew it'.
Muhammad Ali
It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.
Muhammad Ali
The only way for peace between the races is a separation of the races.
Muhammad Ali
All black Americans have slave names. They have white names names that the slave master has given to them.
Muhammad Ali
The only limitations one has, are the ones they place on themselves
